Supercessionism Revisited

C. Orthodoxy has a great post for revisiting supercessionism, and it makes me wonder if the church isn't in the same boat as we wait upon the coming Christ. Israel was no more the telos or goal of God on earth than the church. The purpose or goal is always Christ and the reconciliation he brings to earth.

Thanks for the link, and that's a great point! It also gets at the problem with dispensationalism: it's not just that it cuts Israel off from the Church, but that it also cuts the Church off from the kingdom to come....
