1 Peter 2:19 reads:
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Apart from saying that the Church now refers to both the remnant of Jews and us Gentiles, saved by grace not by obeying the Mosaic Law, here is a good example how Chat GPT can help us respond to the refutations by those against replacement theology. You need to put your finger to stop the video as you read the commentary on what is known as the Hebraic Roots Movement (or HRM):
However, I am more inclined towards Fulfilment theology which Chat GPT has also provided a summary of it for your consumption.
Christ came as the Spotless Lamb of God to fulfil all the requirements of the Law. Our salvation which brings us to be at peace with God is the result of God’s grace and our response in faith.
Positionally we are now like Abraham, righteous before God as this cannot be removed from us if we hold on to our faith. The Lord will keep us with Him.
The seven feasts in the OT were a foreshadow of Christ who was to come. He is the ultimate fulfilment of all prophecies and what these feasts were supposed to depict.
Christ died the death of atonement as the Passover Lamb to be sacrificed on the Day of Atonement. We are the first fruits. The Lord Supper, which the Lord instituted, is only one of two so-called sacraments that Christ wants the body of Christ, the church comprising Jew and Gentiles, to keep until the day He returns.
The unbelieving Israel will be axed while we Gentiles are grafted. The basis for this is God’s Grace (His Initiative) and our faith (our only response that He requires).
Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that will be saved;”Romans 9:27 NASB1995
We are now part of the body of Christ by His grace thorough out faith, not our obedience to the Torah. As Peter puts it,
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”1 Peter 2:9-10 NASB1995
In fact, it reminds us of Christ’s fulfilment of the Law, which clearly shows the Law is good, but we cannot fulfil ourselves due to our sinful nature. Yet, the Sinless One died to pay the debts on our behalf.
To us, this mystery has been revealed, something the prophets of old waited eagerly to see.
Praise the Lord for such a great gospel we have.
Whatever it is, we should thank God for this wonderful creation of AI, until of course, if it is hijacked by some bad guys to be used for the wrong purposes. We must also bear in mind that like any tool, AI can be use for good and bad.
Just like the printing invented by Johann Gutenberg, it was used extensively by cults such as the Jehovah Witnesses, the Mormons, and even the Communists in the last century.
We should not shy away from using technology given to use for the good of His kingdom work.
