"THESE SCRIPTURES ARE NOT YOURS, BUT OURS" -Justin Martyr


What if the theology you’ve inherited isn’t rooted in Scripture at all, but in a 2nd-century backlash against Judaism? Meet the architects of supersessionism—Justin Martyr, Melito of Sardis, Tertullian—who forged the idea that “true Israel” isn’t an ethnic lineage but a faith community.


In this episode, we're diving deep into a fascinating yet troubling period of history when Christian leaders developed creative new interpretations to claim they were the "True Israel," while the Jewish people were... well, you'll have to tune in to find out.


Join us as we explore:
• The brilliant (but dangerous) solution early Church fathers found to their "Jewish problem"
• How they transformed prophetic rebuke into something entirely different
• Two types of "replacement theology" that emerged and still impact us today


Part 4 of our "Baseless Hatred" series reveals the roots that would shape Christian-Jewish relations for centuries to come. Don't miss this critical piece of the story.
