Can I please give 0 stars? This is a massively ill-informed at best, deceitful at worst piece of work that ignores a rather large portion of Scripture that specifically refers to the Jewish people returning to Israel in the last days. It also claims that Christians are the real Jews (replacement theology) when in fact there are many, many, many verses in the New Testament that speak of the Jewish people and are referring to those ethnically Jewish. There is not enough room here to go into detail here in only 1000 words or less.
Some questions regarding the replacement 'theology' in this film:
1. If Christians are now the 'real Jews', then what are those who formerly held that title? That would leave them without any classification; the first people group without a title in the history of people groups. 2. Why didn't the early church specifically identify as a Jew anyone who believed in Jesus as the church grew larger with more people from the Gentiles? 3. If replacement theology is true, why did Peter and John call the unbelieving Jews 'Men of Israel' is Acts 3:12 and refer to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as 'our fathers' in vs 13? Why does Romans 3:1-3 refer to Jews who don't believe in Jesus? Wouldn't that make them non-Jews if the premise of this 'documentary' is correct? 4. If God can make an eternal covenant with Abraham tying his descendants to the land of Israel, and then break that covenant, how can Christians even be sure about our own salvation? 5. Why isn't the church ever referred to as God's firstborn as He called Israel in Exodus 4:22? Isn't that the proper title they would take over if the church has usurped the name 'Jew' from the physical descendants of Abraham?
I have gone into more detail on the message boards here. What a pack of lies found in 'Marching To Zion'!
