There is no “Replacement Theory.” There is only the authentic Christian teaching on what Israel is as detailed in the New Testament. The Church is Israel. The incomplete truth of the Old Testament is completed in the New Testament. Not replaced… How about Completion Fact. Or Fulfillment Fact.
The original Christians weren’t Judeo-Christians, they were simply Christians because there weren’t any other Christians to contrast them with: Romano-Christians, Greco-Christians, etc. If anything, Judeo-Christians would have been seen as a splinter group or inauthentic sect with no link to the Apostles and the apostolic succession and emerging tradition of the Church.
Christianity teaches there is neither Jew or Gentile, Male or Female, slave or free man under Christianity. All are one in Christ. There are no Judeo-Christians. Certainly not the Christian Zionist radicals that worship a secular state: the state of Israel as the march of the Old Testament God through history.
Quote: Saint Ignatius of Antioch in the early second century, around 110 A.D., in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans…used the word (Catholic), derived from the Greek katholikos meaning “universal” or “according to the whole,” to distinguish the universal Christian Church from various emerging splinter groups and sects (cults). While Ignatius is the first known person to use it in writing, the concept and term were likely in use for some time prior to his writings.
