Replacement Theology, Commonsense Logic and Cartesian Linguistic

Replacement Theology, Commonsense Logic, and Cartesian
Linguistics
Bernard Pyron
Many, or most, dispensationalists will say that Covenant
Theology is "Replacement Theology," which is to be attacked and
demonized. By Replacement Theology they generally mean, for
them, that Covenant Theology, as part of Calvinist theology says
that the Church has replaced Old Covenant Israel.
But the test of whether or not a doctrine within a man-made
theology is true or false is determined by the extent to which
that doctrine agrees with New Testament scripture. That is, are
there in New Testament scripture texts which agree with
dispensationalism's claim that Covenant Theology as part of a
larger Calvinist theology is replacement theology? This is
where Commonsense Logic comes in. Dispensationalism has to set
aside commonsense logic in order to avoid the awareness or
acknowledgement that it promotes a false doctrine.
There are no New Testament texts which talk about Calvinism.
But there are texts whose gist meanings are very relevant to
this issue.
And, in fact, there are texts in the Book of Hebrews which say
that the Old Covenant was done away with and that a better
covenant was established. The specific language used in Hebrews
8: 6-7 says "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry,
by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which
was established upon better promises. 7. For if that first
covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been
sought for the second." And Hebrews 8: 13 says " In that he
saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that
which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."
Hebrews 10: 9 reinforces the statement in Hebrews 8: 13 and says
in an explicit way that Christ took away the first covenant -
the Old Covenant - so that he could establish the second or New
Covenant. "Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He
taketh away the first, that he may establish the second."
The gist meaning of Hebrews 8: 6-7. 13 and Hebrews 10: 9 is that
Christ took away the Old Covenant and established the New
Covenant. How is this different from replacement of the Old
Covenant with the New Covenant?
There are also New Testament texts in II Corinthians 3: 7-8 and
11 which support Hebrews 8: 6-7. 13 and Hebrews 10: 9, but in
part by implication, which point to a gist meaning in agreement
with the texts in the Book of Hebrews.
But dispensationalism is based upon a literalist "Hermeneutic."
That which is literal, in a strict sense, emphasizes that which
is the Surface Meaning of a word or sentence rather than the
Gist Meaning.
That is, the dispensationalist literal method of interpretation
focuses more upon the Surface Meaning of a word or sentence than
upon the gist meaning, or what is called the "Deep Structure" or
"Deep Meaning" in linguistics.

Deep structure vs. surface structure
Deep Structure and Surface Structure in Cartesian Linguistics
also means Surface Meanings and Deep Meanings.
Deep Meaning is similar to Gist Meaning. See:

"Pursuing the fundamental distinction between body and mind,
Cartesian linguistics characteristically assumes that language
has two aspects" (32). These are namely the sound/character of a
linguistic sign and its significance. (32). Semantic
interpretation or phonetic interpretation may not be identical
in Cartesian linguistics (32). Deep structures are often only
represented in the mind (a mirror of thought), as opposed to
surface structures which are not."
"Deep structures vary less between languages than surface
structures. For instance, the transformational operations to
derive surface forms of Latin and French may obscure common
features of their deep structures. Chomsky proposes, "In many
respects, it seems to me quite accurate, then, to regard the
theory of transformational generative grammar, as it is
developing in current work, as essentially a modern and more
explicit version of the Port-Royal theory"
Summary of Port Royal Grammar
"The Port Royal Grammar is an often cited reference in Cartesian
Linguistics and is considered by Chomsky to be a more than
suitable example of Cartesian linguistic philosophy. "A sentence
has an inner mental aspect (a deep structure that conveys its
meaning) and an outer, physical aspect as a sound sequence"*****
This theory of deep and surface structures, developed in Port
Royal linguistics, meets the formal requirements of language
theory. Chomsky describes it in modern terms as "a base system
that generates deep structures and a transformational system
that maps these into surface structures", essentially a form of
transformational grammar akin to modern studies."
II Corinthians 3: 7-8 and 11 also present a Gist or Deep Meaning
which, by implication, says that the Old Covenant was done away
with and what Paul calls in II Corinthians 3: 8-9 the
ministration of the Spirit and the ministration of righteousness
was established.
In part because of their literal method of Bible interpretation,
dispensationalists tend to ignore the doctrine that Paul is
presenting in II Corinthians 3: 7-11. Paul is not presenting a
literal or surface message which the literalists can easily
understand. He is being too subtle. And so they maintain their
man-made theology position that Calvinism or Covenant Theology
is Replacement Theology.

Most of the Bible talks about salvation. Most of the Bible talks
about salvation coming through Israel, promised in covenants,
with required works of the law.
Christ sent Paul to offer salvation according to the mystery
without Israel, without covenants, and without the law. As a
result salvation is all of Christ.
When God was operating in the world through his chosen people,
salvation was said to be “of the Jews” (John 4:22). Salvation to
the world would come through Israel’s rise to glory, and then
the nations of the world would be blessed.
Being a Jew meant being the first to receive God’s blessing, and
being the channel of blessing and salvation to Gentiles.
When Christ sent Paul to Gentiles it was because Israel had
rejected Christ and salvation (Rom 11:25). Yes, Paul went to
Jews first, but they did not receive it. Gentiles were receiving
salvation without Israel through the preaching of Christ’s death
and resurrection.
Paul proves that both Jew and Gentile are under sin, and so
being an Israelite has no advantage today toward salvation by
grace through faith. Two thousand years later, it remains the
same that Gentiles continue being saved while the nation of
Israel as a whole has rejected it.
Salvation according to the mystery is without Israel.
“What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have
before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under
sin;” – Romans 3:9
“For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have
mercy upon all.” – Romans 11:32
Without Covenants
What made Israel God’s chosen people were the covenants given
exclusively to them. Gentiles had no privilege or advantage with
any covenants with God.
Even when Israel failed, they could lay claim to the covenants
of promises God had made with their fathers, David, and the
prophets. God had promised them salvation. Confidence in
salvation was found in the covenants God had made.
In contrast, Paul preaches complete confidence of salvation to
people who never had any covenants. On what basis could they be
so sure? Paul explains that the work for salvation was already
finished, and was being offered to them freely.
While prophecy promised a future hope of salvation, it was a
promise yet to be fulfilled. Paul preached a present possession
of salvation according to the mystery.
God is under no obligation toward the church the body of Christ
having made no covenants with the Body. Salvation is offered to
all of grace without obligation or requirement. God and Israel
still have obligations under the covenants to fulfill before
salvation comes to them.
“For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their
sins.” – Romans 11:27
Only according to the mystery of Christ does salvation come
without a covenant of promise, but directly through the promise
in Christ by the gospel (Eph 3:6).
“How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery… That
the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and
partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:” – Eph
3:3-6″
Without the Law
How could man be righteous without obedience to the law or the
commandments of God? This is explained clearly in Paul’s epistle
to the Romans 3-5.
“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;” – Romans 3:21
The law was the subject of Israel’s old covenant, and the law
was revised in Israel’s new covenant, but in both cases God’s
law was what would prove their righteous faith.
According to the mystery Paul speaks of salvation without the
law being offered freely to all men.
Conclusion
Israel will be restored. The covenants of God will be fulfilled.
The law is holy, just, and good, and will one day be preached to
all nations.
The mystery of Christ affects how salvation is preached.
Salvation according to prophecy was through Israel, under the
covenants, and accompanied by the law.
The mystery of Christ is how salvation comes to all without
Israel, without covenants, and without the law. This hidden
wisdom of God in Christ Jesus was kept secret since the world
began, but is now made known to all nations .

"Israel will be restored"
The focus of dispensationalism is upon Israel. but the focus of
all Christians should be on Jesus Christ and his Gospel which
transforms people into new creations.
In a sense Israel was restored or remade as Jeremiah 18: 1-6
predicts, and part of this remaking of Israel or restoration of
Israel was the bringing in of believing Gentiles to a new and
remade Israel, which Paul calls the Israel of God in Galatians
6: 15-16. In Ephesians 2: 13 and in Romans 11: 17-20.
The concern of Acts 15: 14-18 and the quoting of Amos 9: 11-12
is about the bringing of believing Gentiles into Israel, but the
Israel into which believing Gentiles are brought into is not Old
Covenant Israel of the Flesh.
Amos 9: 11-12 in the Septuagint says "In that day I will raise
up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and will rebuild the
ruins of it, and will set up the parts thereof that have been
broken down, and will build it up as in the ancient days: 12
that the remnant of men, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name
is called, may earnestly seek me, saith the Lord who does all
these things. "
The part about Gentiles seeking the Lord is left out in the
Hebrew Masoretic Text, which is interesting.
The Body of Christ and the Israel of God are one and the same,
which relates to Gist Meanings or Deep Meanings rather than
Surface Meanings. To dispensationalists the Body of Christ
appears to be made up of Gentile believers, and most
dispensationalists refuse to accept Galatians 6: 15-16 as a
doctrine about a remade Israel - because the focus of
dispensationalism is upon Israel of the flesh.
And a huge problem for dispensationalism is that its main focus
is on Israel and not on Christ.

[/quote]Nope, that's only your flawed view of dispensational
study. It's pretty obvious you're obsessed with it because maybe
you know we're right. No we focus on Christ Crucified and the
information the Lord Jesus Christ gave exclusively to Paul.
Israel are God's chosen people and He will keep His promises.

The Law of Moses is one of the dispensations in the Bible.
During this time, God give unconditional promises to Israel.
On the arrival of John the Baptist, the Dispensation of the
Kingdom began and at the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross, the
dispensation of Grace began.
Following the Harpazo (Rapture), the dispensation of the
"Everlasting Gospel" will begin and ending with the White Throne
Judgement of GOD after a 1000 Year reign of Jesus Christ on
earth.
The Remnant of the Israel in mortal bodies will rule Israel
along with Jesus Christ. It is said that the Church (Body/Bride
of Jesus Christ) containing both gentile and Jew believers will
be Kings and Priests over the nations of the world during this
time.
But first, it is important that one get an anchor in the OT and
just what happened between God and Israel.. In NT passages, they
speak of "all of Israel". However, we see in Revelation only 1/3
of the Israeli population will survive Daniel's70th week. Thus,
2/3 of Jews will die before and during Daniel's 70th week, as
compared to 1/3 of the Jews dying during WWII.
At the end of the Millennium, "All of Israel" is all of those
1/3 that survived.
******************
The Unconditional Promises to a Nation
God made several promises for the nation of Israel. The land
promise, originally given to Abram, was made only on the
condition that Abram would come out of Ur and to Canaan.
"Now the Lord said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and
from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that
I will shew thee…
And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I
give this land… "Gen. 12:1, 7
After Abram came to Canaan, the promise became an unconditional
one that would be reiterated throughout the centuries as being a
promise to Abram’s descendents…specifically the children of
Israel.
To Isaac…
"Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless
thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these
countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto
Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the
stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these
countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed…" "Gen. 26:3-4
To Jacob…
"And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD
God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land
whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed…"
Gen. 28:13
To Moses…
"And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the
Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good
land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto
the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites,
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites." Ex. 3:8
To Jeremiah…
"For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again
the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and
I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their
fathers, and they shall possess it." "Jer. 30:3
To Ezekiel…
"And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob
my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall
dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their
children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be
their prince for ever." Ez. 37:25
This land promise was unconditional for Israel because of
Abraham’s obedience.
"…because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my
commandments, my statutes, and my laws. "Gen. 26:5
Therefore, the actions of individuals in the nation would not
have any bearing on this promised being delivered. God certainly
had and has the prerogative to deliver it when He sees fit,
however long that may take, but it is nevertheless an
unconditional promise, set in stone due to Abraham’s obedience.
Later, God would also promise a kingdom in this promised land.
To David…
"And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy
fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed
out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever
before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. "II Sam.
7:12, 16
And lest any think that promise was fulfilled with Solomon:
To Isaiah…
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain
of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations
shall flow unto it." Is. 2:2
And to Ezekiel…
"And say to them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take
the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be
gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into
their own land: and I will make them one nation in the land upon
the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all:
and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be
divided into two kingdoms any more at all. Neither shall they
defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their
detestable things, nor with their transgressions: but I will
save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have
sinned, and will cleanse them; so shall they be my people, and I
will be their God. And David my servant shall be king over them;
and they all shall have on shepherd; they shall also walk in my
judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall
dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant,
wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein,
even they, and their children, and their children’s children for
ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever." Ez.
37: 21-25
You can see the connection between these two promises. The
promised kingdom would be in the promised land. Two promises,
yet delivered together. With this, God also promised to enter
into a new covenant with them.
"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."
Jer. 31:31
This covenant would be with those of the northern kingdom, or
house, of Israel and with the southern kingdom, or house, of
Judah. You also saw in the Ezekiel passage above how both of
these houses will be made one, reunited together in the land
from which they were scattered abroad.
And upon being united and entering into the new covenant, they
will receive the corresponding promises of having their iniquity
forgiven and sins forgotten forevermore (Jer. 31:34), as well as
other related promises shown in Daniel 9:24 and elsewhere.
Like the land promise, the promise of the kingdom and entry into
the new covenant were also both unconditional, since they
applied to the nation as a whole, as opposed to being promises
guaranteed to individual members of the nation. This is a very
important idea to know and grasp. The promises were national in
nature. So while faithful David (for example) the individual,
will partake of the land, kingdom, and new covenant in the
resurrection to take place in the future, it will be because he
was not cut off from the nation. The promises were national in
nature, so those who remained faithful members of the nation
will inherit the land, kingdom, and new covenant promises.
Recall the land promise originally given to Abram in Genesis 12.
God said it was for his seed.
"And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will
I give this land… "Gen. 12:7
So that is clearly a corporate/national promise. But later God
places the first conditions upon which an INDIVIDUAL would be
able to partake, or not, of that promise.
"This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you
and thy seed after thee; every man child among you shall be
circumcised.
And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is
not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he
hath broken my covenant." Gen. 17:10, 14
This concept of an individual being removed from the chance of
partaking of the national promises is seen later, as well, prior
to Israel entering into Canaan.
"Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful
God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him
and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; and
repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he
will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to
his face. Thou shall therefore keep the commandments, and the
statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to
do them." Deut. 7:9-11
So it should be abundantly clear that the promises of the land,
kingdom, and new covenant were corporate promises, and that
individuals could be cut off from the nation and thus miss out
on receiving them.
While Israel in 1948 became a Nation again, something that has
never been happened in the previous 4000 years we have been
here. Never has a people so disbursed throughout the world been
brought back together as Israel has.
For the Jews who believe in Jesus Christ, they will join the
Church (Body/Bride) of Jesus Christ along with the gentiles. The
remaining Jews who as before reject the Grace of Jesus Christ
will find a bad ending during Daniel's 70th week. For those Jews
that are called by GOD during this time, will follow His
previous instructions (to flee Jerusalem) into His awaiting
Loving arms at Petra.
The New Covenant is for those in the Church(Body/Bride) of Jesus
Christ residing in Heaven and the Remnant of Israel, who will
help repopulated the earth during the Millennium.
1 Cor 15(3-4).."For I delivered unto you first of all that which
I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to
the scriptures; v4. And that he was buried, and that he rose
again the third day according to the scriptures:"
To not believe GOD's WORD is a dismissal of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ.
