THE People of God
May 30, 2010 Going back as far as Hyppolytus of Rome, some in the Church have taught "supersessionism," the idea that God cast off the descendants of Abraham in favor of the Gentiles. Much as one might draw that conclusion by observing events, and the Gentiles in the church at Rome drew that conclusion, the Scriptures say something different. They indicated in Romans 11 and Ephesians 2 that the Gentiles who have believed in the promised Christ have not replaced the children of Abraham, but have been grafted in to them. There is not, never has been, and never will be any other than ONE People of God.
Romans 11:13-24
Rev. George C. Hammond
