At the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA) Messiah Conference 2022, Jonathan gave a presentation responding to arguments for replacement theology put forth in Pastor Andy Stanley’s book, Irresistible: Reclaiming the New that Jesus Unleashed for the World.    Questions this presentation covers include:    - What does replacement theology mean for the Jewish people? - Did Yeshua teach that he came to end God’s covenant with Israel, to make the Torah obsolete in Matthew 5.17? - Did the destruction of the Temple signal the end of Judaism and God’s covenant with Israel? - Why did Yeshua have to die?   You can also watch on our YouTube channel Follow us on Social Media:   Facebook Instagram      _________________________________________    If you are looking for a way to support us and gain early access to our content, you can become a monthly supporter on Subscribestar We also have PayPal    _________________________________________    Works cited:   Anders Runesson, Divine Wrath and Salvation in Mathew: The Narrative World of the First Gospel (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2016).    Anders Runesson, “Saving the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel: Purity, Forgiveness, and Synagogues in the Gospel of Matthew,” Melilah 11 (2014): 8-24.   Craig S.
