Danger of Replacement Theology
Karl Constantine FOLKES 1935 (Portland)
Biblical untruth:
“Replacement Theology”
Of “Old Testament”
With “New Testament” Scriptures
Is patently incorrect.
Misleading schism
Of the Bible’s unity,
Written as a whole
With Divine Authority —
And with all of it God-breathed.
Absolutely false,
“Replacement Theology”
Is quite misleading.
It’s poor interpretation
Of all the sixty six books.
The Hebrew Bible,
Known to us as the Tanach,
Twenty seven books —
Is prologue to what follows:
The Gospels and Epistles.
It forms the basis
Of the entire Bible
As “The Beginning.”
The “Bereshit” of God’s Word —
That ends with “Revelation.”
To underscore this:
“Replacement Theology”
Is without wisdom.
It’s utterly misleading,
Deceptively dangerous,
Spiritually unsound.
Truth is never old
When divinely inspired.
Every stroke of it,
Contained in sixty six books,
Is messaged by the Spirit.
About this poem
It is reported that fewer and fewer believers of the Abrahamic Faith are turning to the Holy Bible as “God’s Word” that is divinely inspired, largely because of the false doctrine of “Replacement Theology” that pits the Bible’s 27 books against its remaining 39 books, naming one “old” and the other “new” in such a manner that believers of the Abrahamic Faith, as practicing Jews and Christians, feel that they are obliged to choose one set of books over the other or, what is even worse, to not choose either. This results in a schism of religious faith and practice, which often spills over into a psychological schism of the human personality, divided and lost in the endeavor to obtain spiritual unity and wholeness. This poem is written in the form of an extended 5-line unrhymed Tanka to bring to light and underscore the “uncomfortable truth” that few people like to discuss. more »
