In this episode of the House of David podcast, Gabi and Pastor Eric delve into the roots of supersessionism and its theological foundations laid by early church fathers. They explore how theological errors introduced by Gentile Christians led to the separation of Jews and Gentiles within the church, contrary to Jesus' call for love and unity. The discussion covers the Apostolic Fathers, the Patristic Era, and critical figures like Tertullian and Augustine, whose writings shaped church doctrine and views on Israel. The conversation also touches on papal supremacy, Gnosticism, and the evolution of church architecture. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinction between Israel and the church and the fulfillment of God's promises to both.
