Roman Issues

The message on November 28, 2021 was on Replacement Theology. Before Wayne got to the main message for this lesson, he spent time on celebrating Thanksgiving by looking at the founding documents of the American separation from Great Britain and how the founding father’s emphasized free independent states that would have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. He then went to 1 Samuel 8:1-7 KJV to compare what happened to Samuel’s sons, Joel and Abiah, when they walked not in his ways but turned after lucre, took bribes and perverted judgement to that of the politicians we have in Washington, D.C. today. Wayne quoted from the Declaration of Independence that “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.” It is up to us to alter those that are trying to rule over us, just like our founding fathers did when separating from the King of England. Wayne reminded us to be like David to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord (1 Kings 15:5 KJV) instead of those days when there was no king in Israel and every man did right in his own eyes (Judges 21:25 KJV). Wayne then showed how Replacement Theology is being taught from Romans because they don’t rightly divide Paul’s two ministries. The one during Acts, and the one after The Mystery was revealed. The scripture reading was from Jeremiah 31:31-37 KJV

“31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. 35 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: 36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. 37 Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.”
