The “Evangelical” Protestant Heresy On Israel Refuted Simply
Many “Evangelical” Protestants wrongly believe that modern-day Jews are the heirs to the promise made to Abraham in Genesis. Consequently, they believe that it’s God’s will and a Christian obligation to support the modern-day Jewish State of Israel. Their position is an outrageous heresy that is easily refuted. In Genesis 12 God promised Abraham (singular) that He would bless those who bless him and curse those who curse him.
Genesis 12:2-3- “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
In Genesis 13 God promised land to Abraham and his seed forever.
Genesis 13:15- “… all the land that you see, I will give to you and your seed forever.”
The true fulfillment of this promise to Abraham is explained in Galatians 3, which teaches that the promise is through faith and that those who are baptized and in the Church of Christ are the seed of Abraham.
Galatians 3:16- “Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his seed. It does not say, ‘And to seeds,’ referring to many, but referring to one, ‘And to your seed,’ who is Christ.”
Galatians 3:26-29- “… for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise.”
Thus, people outside the Church (e.g. unbelieving Jews) are not the seed of Abraham and not heirs of the promise. That’s God’s teaching, and it has been repeated by various popes. Galatians 6 also teaches that the Church is the Israel of God.
Galatians 6:15-16- “For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God."
1 Peter 2 and Colossians 3:12 also teach that true Christians, not unbelieving Jews, are the chosen People of God.
1 Peter 2:9-10- “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
Colossians 3:12- “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.”
Further, referring to Our Lord Jesus Christ, Acts 3:23 says that anyone who doesn’t listen to Him is completely cut off from the People.
Acts 3:23- “And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be completely cut off from the people.”
Thus, it’s an outrageous lie to say that the promise to Abraham applies to people outside the Church of Christ. This video covers more on the topic:
