The "Two-House Teaching" defuses Christian-based Anti-Semitism

When One-House Messianic and/or Christian "scholars" proclaim and rebuke Two-House Theology as being "Replacement Theology", Anti-Jewish, or Anti-Semitic, it is a bit baffling and perplexing. In actuality, those who understand and embrace the Two-House Teaching actually develop a deeper sense of affection for the Jewish people (Israelite descendants of the Kingdom of Judah), even when there persists differing degrees of dislike for the Rabbinic system of the Jewish people. Even so, a love for Yehudah (Jew-dah) continues and a desire to do "the Jews" harm is unthinkable. Indeed, a sense of brotherhood develops, even when the feeling is not mutual.

Where Christianity does not express clear Replacement-type doctrines, there is an underlying Replacement-type paradigm that pervades much of the Catholic and Protesting-Catholic spheres of doctrinal reasoning and Orthodoxy (that is: so-called "right thinking"). If you were born and raised up within Christianity as this author was, you've surely heard distinguishing comments like "physical Israel" and "spiritual Israel", where the "Church" is spiritual Israel and inheritor of Israel's promises. Or you'll hear even more ridiculous doctrines like: "God the Father was married to Israel, while Jesus is married to the Church". These and similar Replacement-type theologies are defused when Christians come to understand the Two-House Teaching and begin seeing the presence of Judah and 10-Israel even when they read their New Testaments. This ancient and prophetic "reality" is truly everywhere within the Tanakh and the Christian scriptures, but it is a reality which has been hidden from Judah and 10-Israel for many centuries.

The fact that the Two-House Teaching defuses antisemitism is not a primary basis for importance, but simply a peripheral ramification which is good and good to point out, especially in a world where Anti-semitism is on the rise yet again... even in predominantly Christian populations.

The Hidden Irony in Christian Replacement Theology is a highly recommended read for all Christians and Jews for further perspective in Christian-based "Replacement Theology".
