Thank you very much for your time, and I'll see you in the next video.

Hello friends, great co-cool and stand a reason, and I've got to say this before I forget, because I forget so easily, and this is a kind of mini announcement.

I am going to be in a Wasomish again this weekend, so you'll be getting this broadcast on Friday if you listen to it promptly, and I'm speaking all day Saturday, or the bulk of the day Saturday, on tactics, like four or five hours worth, and then Sunday morning,

on at the main service there, and I'm trying to remember the name of the church, because I don't have my notes here in front of me.

I guess I could look on my phone. Well, if you go to str.org, you can find my schedule, okay, and it was just a little bit of town, what, 10, 15 miles north of East Lansing, Michigan, where I spent two years as a student at Michigan State University, and they were wonderful years.

For me, as it turned out, I didn't know the Lord at the time, but I was foot loose and fancy-free, and I had good relationships, and it was an interesting time in my life, at least for most of it, things went south towards the end, and interestingly, the fact that they went south was one of the things that woke me up to reality, and I think was a factor in me becoming a Christian.

And these are things that God used. Anyway, I'm looking forward to going there this weekend. I'll be flying out Friday, and I'll do Saturday, and then Sunday morning.

Owaso, O-W-O-S-S-O, Michigan, so just so you know. The following week, I will be in North Carolina, and somewhere, not Charlotte, somewhere kind of closer to the coast, but my apologies, I didn't bring my announcements in here in harmony. God bless your heart.

She sent them to me, and I printed them out, and I left them in the other room, and then forgot to get them during the break. But anyway, maybe in the next break, I will bring you all up today and all the important things.

But there you have it. I have a question. We've been doing open my calls. That means people who want to ask a question, but are not really able to call up and stay in the queue, can call us and leave their question.

On the open mic. They can be done on the website, or just a straight up phone call to 857 dial STR 857 dial STR or 857 3 4 2 5 7 8 7.

If you want to use the computer, just go to the homepage, look under podcasts and under live broadcasts and follow the prompts.

So we have a call here, and I'm taking this because I've wanted to talk about this for a long time. There's some other people in the queue before this particular caller.

But now I'm looking for it. It's the one about replacement theology.

Oh, there it is. Matthew Anders. Can you find that? Okay, let's talk with Matthew.

Or Matthew could talk with us. Okay, we're working on it. Okay. Keep making noise, Mr. Cocoal. So while we find Matthew Anders, there it is. Okay, here we go.

This is Matthew and Jupiter asking if you guys wouldn't mind discussing replacement theology and giving some opinions on that topic. Thank you so much and God bless.

Yeah, that's a great question. And as I understand replacement theology, it's the idea that God had a program with the Jews and the Jews messed it up really badly.

So then God turned to the Gentiles. So this doesn't mean that Jews can't be saved, of course. That's pretty obvious that they can be in the early church.

The first century were almost all Jews. Certainly I should say the first wave coming out of Jerusalem, then as the gospel expanded to Gentile areas like Galatia and the Rome and Thessalonica and Greece and all that.

Well, then more Gentiles were added in. If this has to do a theological shift, that is that God made promises to the nation of Israel and they perform so poorly that God then shifted and made replacement with the church for Israel.

And in the church, there is no neither Jew nor Greek nor slave nor free, etc. And so this would mean that national Israel as a national entity no longer has a place in God's program. Now, so this is the way I understand replacement theology to work.
