Supersessionism - Wikipedia
wikipedia.org
Definitely a link worth the time to read in full. Though, reading in part is enlightening as well .
For instance,how often do we read some say the laws of Moses no longer apply.
If we consider the moral laws of God,the ten commandments, we might consider that argument dismisses Jesus condensing the 10 into his own 2.
Love God with all our hearts and minds. And our neighbor as ourselves.
Eastern Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church, Lutheran Churches, Reformed churches and Methodist churches all believe and teach that the ten commandments continue to bind believers.
As relates to Suppressionism, it can be argued that due to Apostle Paul's focus on Gentiles being included in the saving grace of God that he himself espoused what today is labeled, Replacement Theology.
From the link:
"Paul's views on the Jews are complex, but he is generally regarded as the first person to make the claim that by not accepting claims of Jesus's divinity, non-believing Jews disqualified themselves from salvation.[19]"
Also, besides Roman Catholics as well, many Protestant Denominations hold to the tenets of RT.
Lutherans, Reformed, and LDS.
And of course there are types of Suppressionism.
So, it's there.
That 'some'... assume that doctrine still does not mean such a doctrine actually exists BIBLICALLY. And that has been MY point all along, that Replacement Theology does not really exist, Biblically that is.
The parts of God's Word that most are ignorant of... regarding all of those denominations you mention, including the unbelieving Jews, is how they do not understand Bible prophecy of how God used the lost ten tribes, and a remnant of Jews, scattered among the Gentiles to form The New Covenant Church under Jesus Christ.
When Lord Jesus said He was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the "house of Israel", most wrongly believe He was only pointing to the Jews in the holy land at His 1st coming. He was not; He was pointing to the lost ten tribes of the "house of Israel" that had already been scattered out of the holy land long before His 1st coming.
Per the 1 Kings 11 forward history of God splitting old Israel, the label "house of Israel" specifically was applied ONLY to the northern ten tribe "kingdom of Israel". This is why after God split the old kingdom of Israel into two separate kingdoms, we find both 'house' labels together in the same verse.
The following Scripture examples prove beyond all doubt that the "house of Israel" label even during the days of Lord Jesus' 1st coming, was meant only about the ten lost tribes that were already gone, scattered out of the holy land by the time of Jesus' 1st coming...
1 Kings 12:21
21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
KJV
Per 1 Kings 11 forward, God split the old kingdom of Israel in Solomon's day because of his allowing his many wives to bring idol worship in among the children of Israel. Rehoboam, Solomon's son of the house of David, then became king over the "house of Judah", which represented only... the tribes of Judah and Benjamin after the split. Rehoboam was planning to take warriors of Judah and Benjamin and head to the northern ten tribes to bring the whole kingdom back together, but God stopped him, as God said this thing was of Him. Those northern ten tribes were who that "house of Israel" above represented, and they were not known as Jews.
Jer 3:18
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
KJV
That above verse is still future to us today. That will only happen at Christ's future return. It is about the re-joining of both "the house of Judah" (Jews) and the "house of Israel" (ten lost tribes) back together again in final. That is also shown in the Ezekiel 37 prophecy about the joining of the two symbolic sticks.
Jer 5:11
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, saith the LORD.
KJV
There is no mistaking that those two houses represent 2 separate groups of Israelites. That began at 1 Kings 11 when God rent the old kingdom of Israel out the hand of Solomon's son Rehoboam, and God then gave ten northern tribes of the "house of Israel" to Jeroboam of the tribe of Ephraim.
Jer 11:10
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear My words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.
KJV
Hos 1:6-7
6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, "Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
KJV
The above prophecy especially, is about God long ago getting ready to scatter the ten tribe northern "kingdom of Israel" that represented that "house of Israel". But the Jews of the "house of Judah" of the southern "kingdom of Judah" would remain in the land at that time of the ten tribe's scattering.
