Do You Practice Replacement Theology?

Normally in most modern Christian circles "replacement theology" is known as the belief of replacing Israel with the New Testament church of today. But we would like to suggest to you that long ago a different replacement theology took root and it is a real cancer to the truth of God's Holy Word that most people never even consider. Please read on:

The replacement we are talking about is the one that sinful man performed against God's true biblical plan for His New Testament church that in the setting up his "own model of worship and spiritual life" man has left God's instruction. Sadly it goes on still today in America and beyond enslaving multi-millions of people.   (Click HERE to read about what happens in worshiping outside of biblical truth.)

Let us explain.
Ever since man fell in the garden through sin .... a blood sacrifice was then needed to cover our sin.  (The animals skins that God used to cover Adam and Eve were the first type of shed blood / see Genesis  3:21. "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them".

With this the God of Creation began a spiritual system of carrying out His own will and ways regarding His desires for mankind. He ordained and required certain things be done until it was time for a New Covenant. (See Jeremiah 31)   Once that New Covenant had come ( Jesus Christ ) He then ended some things and gave a new set of instructions through His Word and Apostles that were to be carried out in detail because it was pleasing to Him to do so. The important thing to note is this: man, in making up of his own religious system; has departed from what pleased the Creator Lord, to then go and do what pleased & served himself... the creation. This is rebellion and sin before a Holy God! There are three main points of interest we would like to point to and show you how they are still being done in error as "replacement theology" and in the process is deceiving many people as well.

1) In the Old Testament it was God's plan that Levite priests doing physical work would be the ONLY special men who "alone" could carry out God's on going plan for animal sacrifices in the Temple that the Lord required though out those times. No other man could go and do those duties before the Holy God or he would die.
See 2 Chronicles 13:10
"But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business"

2) There was also a special physical religious building that God instructed to be built with great detail where His Spirit would dwell, His priests would serve Him and His worshipers would come and honor His Holy name at certain times. This was the Temple in Jerusalem.... the only place that He was to be sought and worshiped per His instruction. (See 1 Chronicles 22.)
"Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord".

3) There was also a special physical tithe and offerings required by the Lord of the Jews to support the temple priests and those who were in need. The people of God were instructed to bring those tithes (it was food, not money) into the store house (temple) as a thank you and a return to the Lord of what He has given you. All of Israel followed this command to them.  See Deuteronomy 12:11  "Then there shall be a place which the Lord your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the Lord"

So in God's Old Testament system with man (before Jesus walked the earth)  you had a special priestly system of only certain men at physical work, you had a special physical religious building alone for true worship and you had special physical tithes and offerings that had to be brought to the temple in obedience to the Lord.

Now it is very important to note that with the coming of the Savior Jesus Christ into the worldall of these earlier requirements of God were made complete! Let us show you where this is so.

In the New Testament writings we see that now all born again men are to be spiritual priests unto the Lord. It is through Christ we can go directly to God and need no other man to aid us any longer.
1 Peter 2:5   " you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ".

We can also read about the temple veil being torn right when Christ died allowing man to come before God through Jesus Christ. (See Mark 15:38)

Also in the NT writings we see that His people are now His new spiritual house of God... this is for all men who are born again in Christ. Because Jesus Christ alone made the way through His blood and His people filled with His Holy spirit are now His only true spiritual temple to dwell within.

1 Corinthians 6 19-20  "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's".  (Also see 1 peter 2 stating we are "living stones".)

Lastly...  His word is clear that because Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for all who will repent, believe and follow Him in obedience; there is no longer any need for those physical tithes and sacrifices to be brought over and over. Jesus Christ paid it in full and today the tithe is gone and now our spiritual sacrifice to God is our entire life lived out for Him in obedience and holiness.
We see this clearly in Romans 12:1  "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship"

Also see Christ's once and for all sacrifice in Hebrews 10:10
"By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all".

So what we see is that the old way of special priests, special buildings and special bringing of tithes was done away with by the Lord Himself.  (The temple itself was totally destroyed as Jesus foretold it would be in Matthew 24) Can you see how all things went from being a physical type to a NEW spiritual type which goes well with Jesus instruction to worship in spirit and truth.   John 4:24. So why have we have laid all of that out, you may ask?

What we want to propose to you is that today in man's false religious denominational systems (on every corner in America) we see that man in his sinful rebellion has replaced what God wanted done away with once Christ came,  to instead follow his (man's) own false model of denominational religion.

Could it be that the modern Chief Executive Officer pastor (an unbiblical role not found in the bible) who rules over the flock, who does all the teaching as he stands in his "lifted up podium" each week (sometimes in special clothes with special reverend like names) is acting out as the old testament priest for men, in defiance to Gods New Covenant? (Roman catholic priests are also doing this as well against God's New Covenant ways.)

Could it be that the temple building that God desired would go away (as He now dwells "IN" His people), was replaced by man and the special modern religious buildings (most wrongly call it a "church") that religious systems have erected to condition people to come and worship the Lord are in total disregard to Gods new plan or Covenant?

Could it be that instead of doing away with the tithe/offerings/sacrifices that God's word says Jesus made complete; man has continued to teach others to bring their modern physical tithes (money) to the special man made buildings (to pay for salaries and black top) and that instead of being holy living sacrifices unto the Lord daily, people are now trained to make only the sacrifice of time and money and show up each Sunday for 1.5 hours to do ritual (error filled) worship of man in rebellion to a Holy Gods Word and New Covenant?

So men:
If you're sitting in a pew under a modern pastor who is paid to do all your spiritual duties for you weekly; if you sit in ritual vain worship in a religious building you wrongly call "the church" and you're bringing money, time and sacrifices to that man made temple each Sunday..... well, you have a real problem per God's Word don't you? You're not in spirit and truth worship. (See John 4:24)

God's Word is clear that you are to be about a priest's work in your own daily life (learning His word and preaching/teaching to the lost) you are NOT to be building centered or using vain rituals in your worship and you're due sacrifice is now your entire life surrendered and every thought taken captive for Him and His glory. ( 1 Corinthians 10:5 )

Lets be honest here as we came out of man's system... the religious denominations that man has built do NOT teach you to do those things do they? They teach you to sit, be controlled and rely on a man and a system. It is made to control you not set you free in His truth. From the time of the emperor Constantine of 4 AD merging pagan ways into Christianity to the reformers of Luther's day who compromised on God's truth to today's evil seeker sensitive false ways.... man's ways always lead to death not truth and thus you must beware if you desire to serve God rightly.
So what is your response?

Please take some time to consider that your modern pastor, your modern religious building and your tithes/sacrifices of time/money that your practicing each week in ritualized worship are in TOTAL violation to God's New Covenant per the bibles own words. The fruit alone of the modern false denominational religious places (worldly, carnal, biblically ignorant, doctrinally in error, pew sitting idle people) bears witness to how far they have gone to leave God's Holy ways and to follow man's.

Are you into this false replacement theology today? Are you replacing / practicing mans false ways against what God has said is to be done in His New Covenant? If so you are NOT in His truth and your very salvation may well be in great danger! (John 14:15) We care so we speak and let us know how we can help you?

 Please go to our web page  (www.dontperish.com) and read about the many unbiblical things you may well be practicing in your false religious buildings of man. 

Then consider repenting and getting your spiritual house in order (worshiping in spirit and truth) for the Glory of the Lord who is returning one day soon to take away His true holy and obedient Bride, the Church.

Will you be among them or left behind for God's wrath to come?



For His glory…
