Replacement Theology is Marcionism

This is a great song about replacement theology and its connection to Marcionism. Marcion was one of the great heretics of the early church, who wanted to remove the Tanakh from the canon of Scripture, essentially severing Christianity from its Jewish roots. Marcion's errors pop up again and again in modern Christianity, especially in movments such as the Emerging Church and in N.T. Wright's theology.

Dalton Thomas came up with a better term for this view: Divestment Theology. Under Divestment Theology, the Jews are divested of the covenant with God as Israel, and any Jew who wants to remain part of Israel must become a Christian. Such theology misunderstands that the question of who is a member of Israel is wholly independent of who goes to heaven. Judaism has always taught that Gentiles have the same access to heaven as Jews do, but that Jews have additional duties as members of Israel that Gentiles do not.
