On the other hand, Rev 3:19 says “Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent”, and that seems more particular than the general love of God for all–like Heb 12:7-11.

I think you have to say Christ is speaking to both groups–those who Jesus “never knew” (Matt 7:21-23) (i.e. the truly lukewarm), along with the “smoldering wicks”. Jesus intends to revive faltering sheep, turn some of the goats into sheep, and actually “spit out” the other goats. The last are those in 1 John 2:19, who leave so “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.”

I take that view of all the warning passages of the NT. The warnings are intended to kick weak Christians into gear, and bring non-Christians in the church to faith for the first time.

The basics for studying Eschatology
Eschatology and the Kingdom of God

Steve,

I’m summarizing what I’ve gathered from both dispensationalists and Covenant/amillenial/Reformed/etc teachers. The latter always speak in terms of full inclusion, and promises & prophecies being fulfilled (somehow) in Christ. However, I did say that this was an oversimplified summary.

But… Well, two things:
1.) “Replacement” still works to describe that, basically. (Supersessionism, too.) I can’t see how it’s wrong to say that the Church replaces Israel, in that view. It’s just that “all Christians are fully included in Israel” sounds nicer. The emphasis is in a different place.
2.) But maybe there are other people for whom the label fits even better. For instance, someone who says that you can just ignore all the OT promises to Israel, because they’ve been kicked out of God’s plans, and now it’s all about the Church. (And any time someone actually has animosity toward Jews, it probably tends in that direction.)

Basically, when we were talking, I shouldn’t have been saying, “‘Replacement theology’ doesn’t fit as a label for anyone.” Maybe it does, for some. Maybe you’ve even talked to them.

But I get particularly concerned when the “anti-semitism” charge enters the picture. There are certainly antisemites out there. And there may be people who don’t go that far, but whose view of the church & Israel actually does lend itself to that. (You’d have to describe the view, for me.) But I don’t think it’s at all accurate to say, “That applies to anyone who takes a non-dispensational view of the church & Israel.”
