Supersessionism - Why we have to talk about it

By definistion:



-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
quote:
Supersessionism (British English: supercessionism) and replacement theology are particular interpretations of New Testament claims, viewing God's relationship with Christians as being either the replacement or completion of the promise made to the Jews (or Israelites) and Jewish Proselytes. Biblical expressions of God's relationships with people are known as covenants,[1] so the contentious element of supersessionism is the idea that God's New Covenant with the Christian Church replaces God's Mosaic Covenant with Israel and B'nei Noah, and in particular the Mosaic Law (or Torah).

Like the quote says, Replacement Theology, that Ron Corson use to oppose so vehemently, is synonomous with Supersessionism. Maybe I can attract Ron back to give some give and take on this subject.
