Definition and Origin of Replacement Theology and its Distortion of Scripture - Andy Woods

Israel has long been seen by Christians as God’s chosen people - a belief rooted in Scripture itself and the Lord’s repeated promises to the nation for thousands of years. Yet, a counterargument has emerged among many in the church, sparking both controversy and intense debate: replacement theology. This line of teaching holds that God transferred His covenant promises to the Jews over to the Gentiles or the modern Christian church. Andy Woods, the senior pastor of Sugar Land Bible Church and president of Chafer Theological Seminary, breaks down the origins of replacement theology, tracing it largely back to Augustine just decades after Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. Andy also examines the modern motivations driving the spread of replacement theology and how this idea continues to gain traction and deceive many.
