'Foundations' is about filling in the gaps with the information most people miss or are unaware of. The truth is that over time words, definitions and culture changes in dramatic ways and applying present day understanding and meanings to words, phrases and events, can lead to very different conclusions. By learning about the Jewish and Hebrew culture that the Bible was set in and the environment, traditions and understandings of the people whom God chose to write down His Word, we can gain a bigger, deeper and richer understanding of God's Word that we love so much.

Replacement Theology has been a very dangerous and hateful doctrine that has devasted Jewish people throughout church history. We've learned how bad over the past week and a half, and we're now learning about the grafting in of the Gentile church to the Jewish people of God, and in particular in today's program, we'll learn what Paul was referring to when he talked about Gentiles being part of the Commonwealth of Israel.

We’ve turned our attention to the teaching of Paul about how the Gentile church is grafted into the people of God. Confusion came in very, very early during the apostolic era because of the number of Gentiles coming to faith. It was a learning curve for both Jews and Gentiles over what was expected of them. In Foundations today, we’ll take a look at the Council of Jerusalem.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve spent the last 8 episodes of Foundations on the uncomfortable topic of Replacement Theology. That is the belief that the Christian Gentile church has entirely replaced the Jewish people. We’re continuing the series, but changing our focus slightly to the Biblical teaching that Gentile believers haven’t replaced the Jewish people, rather they’ve been grafted in instead.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
