<b><span style="font-size: large;">This is not to say, throw out your brains, throw away your Jewishness and go join the first Christian Church you encounter. For just as the teachers (rabbiym) of the Old Covenant have erred greatly, so have the goyum run teaching of the New Covenant... beginning with the fact that G-d intended the New Covenant to be as Jewish as the Old Covenant. That Israel was not to join the Church, but the Church was to join Israel (Spirit Israel). </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Read the text again. The New Covenant is with the House of Israel, House of Judah (verse 30), House of Israel (verse 32). </span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">This is not replacement theology. Just the opposite. It is inclusion theology. That all who believe in the Jewish Messiah (as promised by Moshe in Devarim 18:15-19) will be saved into the House of Israel (Yirmiyahu 31:30-33). </span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">A form of replacement theology is what the Church has been suffering from. But rather all who believe in Messiah (Jew or Gentile) become Spirit Jews of the Spirit House of Israel. </span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">This does not make Gentiles into physical Jews. One has to be born a physical Jew.
