'''~~Supersessionism~~Replacement theology''' (sometimes referred to as '''~~replacement theology~~supersessionism''' by its ~~critics~~adherents) is a belief that [[Christianity]] or [[Elagabalism]] or [[Islam]] is the ~~fulfillment~~ true and rightful and continuation of the ~~[[Old Testament]]~~Jewish Scriptures, and that [[Jews]] who deny that [[Jesus]] is the [[Messiah]] (or the Muhammed is the final Prophet, superseding Moses) are not being faithful to the revelation that ~~[[Tetragrammaton|~~God]] has given them, and they therefore fall short of their calling as his [[chosen people]]. This view holds that ~~[[race|~~racial]] and ~~[[ethnicity|~~ethnic]] divisions and boundaries are ~~ended in Jesus Christ~~no longer exist, and faith in Jesus (or Muhammed) unites all peoples into one new body, which is God’s new chosen people.

==The doctrine==

The first view holds that Jews are no longer chosen based on ethnicity, but that God sent is working to reconcile sinful people irrespective of Jews and Gentiles.

The second and more common form of supersessionism does not on its own terms theorize a replacement. Instead it argues that unbelieving Israel has been superseded only in the sense that the church or ''Ummah'' has been entrusted with the fulfillment of the promises of which Israel has been the trustee. The Jews have been and are forever the chosen trustee of the [[covenant (biblical)|covenants]], the [[Torah|Law]], and the promises of blessing and salvation, and the lineage of the Messiah, and yet many of the Jews have rejected Jesus as the Messiah. On the other hand, the ~~church receives the promised Messiah~~ faithful are defined not on the basis of ethnicity but through faith in identity of the Christ or final Prophet, and thus consists of any Jews and any Gentiles who profess that faith.

This belief has served as the explanation for why Christians need not adhere to some laws that are seen as only for the people of God before Christ (for instance, [[circumcision]] and adherence to the Jewish dietary laws, which were addressed at the [[Council of Jerusalem]]), and it is also the rationale for urging the conversion of Jews to Christianity.

==Christian ~~Doctrines~~Doctrine==

Different branches of Christianity have further variations on the doctrine.

*Revelation 3:9: "Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie - behold, I will make them come and bow down at your feet and they will learn that I have loved you."

==~~Islam~~Islamic Doctrine==1. At Makkah the Quran generally addressed the mushrik Quraish who were ignorant of Islam, but at Al- Madinah it was also concerned with the Jews who were acquainted with the creed of the Unity of Allah, Prophethood, Revelation, the Hereafter and angels. They also professed to believe in the law which was revealed by Allah to their Prophet Moses (Allah's peace be upon him), and in principle, their way was the same (Islam) that was being taught by Prophet Muhammad (Allah's peace be upon him). But they had strayed away from it during the centuries of degeneration and had adopted many un- Islamic creeds, rites and customs of which there was no mention and for which there was no sanction in the Torah. Not only this : they had tampered with the Torah by inserting their own explanations and interpretations into its text. They had distorted even that part of the Word of God which had remained intact in their Scriptures and taken out of it the real spirit of true religion and were now clinging to a lifeless frame of rituals. Consequently their beliefs, their morals and their conduct had gone to the lowest depths of degeneration. The pity is that they were not only satisfied with their condition but loved to cling to it. Besides this, they had no intention or inclination to accept any kind of reform. So they became bitter enemies of those who came to teach them the Right Way and did their worst to defeat every such effort. Though they were originally Muslims, they had swerved from the real Islam and made innovations and alterations in it and had fallen victims to hair splitting and sectarianism. They had forgotten and forsaken Allah and begun to serve mammon. So much so that they had even given up their original name "Muslim" and adopted the name "Jew" instead, and made religion the sole monopoly of the children of Israel. This was their religious condition when the Holy Prophet went to Al-Madinah and invited the Jews to the true religion.<ref>Syed Abu-Ala' Maududi's Chapter Introductions to the Qur'an</ref>
