Claim:
“Galatians 3 proves the Church is the true Israel. Jews have no special role anymore.”
⸻
Refutation:
Galatians 3 teaches inclusion, not replacement.
“If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring…” (Gal. 3:29)
Believers inherit spiritual blessings through faith — but that doesn’t erase national Israel.
⸻
Paul never says the Church becomes Israel.
Spiritual heirs ≠ national identity.
Inheritance is shared, not reassigned.
⸻
Romans 11 makes it clear:
“Has God rejected His people? By no means!” (Rom. 11:1)
“All Israel will be saved.” (Rom. 11:26)
Israel’s role is paused — not canceled.
⸻
Jesus said to Israel:
“You will not see Me again until you say…” (Matt. 23:39)
He ties His return to future Jewish repentance — not their removal.
⸻
Galatians 3 shows Gentiles are grafted in — not that Israel is cast out.From Mark on X.com
