Just recently the Patriarchs and heads of the churches in Jerusalem issued a statement on Unity and representation of the christian communities in the Holy Land. To sum up the statement, Zionism Bad replacement Theology good. First of all They say that they are the church of the Holy land, when they put this statement together did they ask the messianic congregations ? They are after all also the body of Christ the pastors represent their congregation and are the shepherd's of their flock and the shepherds of the nation. You have many zionist churches in Israel, were they consulted ? Does their opinion count ? Or is it Just one ideology, replacement theology that matters.? History doesn't make you a shepherd, your belief in the bible and how you follow God's word makes you a Shepherd. Martin Luther was a Shepherd of the flock in Germany, known for the reformation. He was a great man as far as getting back to scripture is concerned. But on the other hand he said some awful things about the Jewish people. “SET FIRE to their synagogues or schools,” Martin Luther recommended in On the Jews and Their Lies. Jewish houses should “be razed and destroyed,” and Jewish “prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing, and blasphemy are taught, [should] be taken from them.” In addition, “their rabbis [should] be forbidden to teach on pain of loss of life and limb.” Still, this wasn’t enough. Luther also urged that “safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews,” and that “all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them.” https://christianhistoryinstitute.org/magazine/article/was-luther-anti-semitic How much influence did his hatred have? We know he influenced Hitler. It's not history that counts but your heart. They write that Christian Zionism misleading the public, sows confusion and harms the unity of the flock. So what does the bible say ? I will give you this land as an eternal covenant ? I believe that the bible also tells us God will discipline the Jews but bring them back Things that we have literally seen. There is no confusion !!! The only confusion there can be is if you don't believe the bible We see confusion all over the place today with gender ideology God created them male and female, and yet the ones who don't believe that are the ones sowing confusion. They say it harms the unity of the flock So do we have to believe one thing and that's it ? How come replacement theology isn't showing confusion and harming the flock ? After all there is no clear scripture in the bible that says The church has replaced Israel. Genesis tells us many times that God was making a covenant with Abraham, he repeats it time and time again. This was important to God. It is an eternal covenant. So if God was going to change his mind and replace the Jews with the church wouldn't he write a book on it. Wouldn't we have the book of Paul in the bible today, explaining very clearly that the Jews have been rejected and now God is focused on the church. But no !!! Instead we have random verses that have been interpreted in a certain way. At least Christian Zionism has a solid scripture base. I am part of the Church and of the body of Christ, I believe the bible from Genesis to Revelation. I believe God's promises are for today, and disagree strongly with Replacement theology because it has no real scriptural basis, But these heads are the body of Christ, they are my brothers and sisters and I pray that they study the bible not from their political ideology or opinion but study it as it is. The word of God.
