Supersessionism

Lexical analysis preferred over that of the 'pedias.

Supersessionism is the traditional Christian belief that Christianity is the fulfillment of Biblical Judaism, and therefore Jews who deny that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah fall short of their calling as God's Chosen people.

Those who fail to understand the primacy of Divine election, use the quasi-pejorative term "replacement theology" as if God's calling is based upon ethnicity.

The traditional form of supersessionism does not theorize a replacement; instead it argues that Israel has been superseded in the sense that the Church has been entrusted with the fulfillment of the promises of which Jewish Israel was the trustee.

This belief has served not only as the explanation for why believers in Christ should not become Jews, but is also the reason that Jews are not exempted by the Christian churches from the call of the Gospel to believe in Jesus Christ for salvation from sin and from the penalties due to sin.
