“This is the basis for the view that the church, made up of both Jews and Gentiles, is the successor of the promises originally made to Israel.”

“Answering the ultra-literalists The fundamental error these ultra-literalists make is they fail to recognise how Jesus and the Apostles reinterpreted the Old Testament. Instead texts are made to speak about present and future events almost as if the New Testament were never written. The implicit assumption is that somehow Old and New Testament run at times parallel into the future, the former speaking of Israel and the latter of the church, almost independent of one another (see Figure 2.2).”

“It may surprise you to discover that the New Testament never uses the term 'chosen' to describe the Jewish people. It is only used of those who follow Jesus. Does that mean Jesus has two separate 'chosen' people? Some like to think so. They are usually called 'dispensationalists' and this is a very popular viewpoint among evangelicals in the united states.”
