Medieval church?

Justin Martyr was writing around AD 155, and literally titled the argument:

“Christ is King of Israel, and Christians are the Israelitic race.”

He said Christ is Israel, and Christians - be they Jew, or Gentile - are the “true Israelitic race".

Irenaeus, around AD 180, says flat-out that Abraham’s seed is “the Church,” and that those of faith are Abraham’s children.

That’s quite a trick for a doctrine supposedly invented by the "medieval Church".

You’ve missed the date by roughly a thousand years.

Also, Let’s see…

Irenaeus, c. AD 180“His seed is the Church.”

Justin Martyr, c. AD 155“Christ is the Israel and the Jacob” … Christians are the “true Israelitic race.”

Justin Martyr — "Rejecting Christ means rejecting the One who sent Him: “he who insults and hates Him, insults and hates Him that sent Him.”


Cyprian, c. AD 250
— argues that the former covenant people lost their privileged standing through unbelief and that “the Christians had succeeded to their place,” coming from “all nations and from the whole world.”

Augustine — To be a “true Israelite”, one must follow the “true living Jesus” into the true promised inheritance.

Irenaeus — The prophets sowed concerning Christ, but “the Church reaped” and received the fruit.


So as far as historic Christianity goes, you don’t have a leg to stand on and you have a thousand-year hole where your argument is supposed to be

You are muddling up references to the spiritual seed of Abraham (the Church) with the natural seed of Abraham (the Jews).
The Bible refers to both and only confusion results when you cannot differentiate who the writer is referring to.

A tree is known by its fruit ... Replacement theology breeds antisemitism.
Most Christians who fall for this false doctrine are virulently hostile towards modern Israel.

Who fact-checked this version of Christian church history? Nero, Trotsky and a guy who thinks 155 AD was medieval?
So you think the video was about church history ... LOL

And obviously you know nothing about the development of Catholic doctrine & liturgy as it evolved in the medieval period.

pro-Palestinian propaganda. they burned their baby in an oven in front of their eyes. Then murdered the couple. How do we know this happened? Hamas filmed it and sent it to their family members.
The Left react to this propaganda by condemning the victims' response.

I've seen this for half a century. The Muslims commit atrocities and when justice is brought to them, they play the victim and pretend the agents of justice are the victimizer all the while denying Israel's right to exist. Audacious. Only the simple minded cannot see through their lies.
