Since this briefing was created to complete the KI requirements I did follow the published policy of “not naming names”; however, my personal stand on this is quite different as I agree with Walter Martin, Dave Hunt, Roger Oakland and others on this subject.
I believe that this is a pervasive church myth based on faulty exegesis of Matthew 18:15-17 resulting in NOT “rightly dividing the word of truth.” It also results in shepherds being bound and gagged, unable to point out the wolves in sheep’s clothing that are pouncing on and devouring the flock.
I have two other presentations that I’m completing, but after that I will be creating a presentation on this subject in detail, including quotations from the three I mentioned above and others.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the conference!
Good brief Leisa. Previously I didn’t see the church and Israel as the same but I’ve not really seen this point developed formally. You did a good job providing several very solid proofs in my book anyway so my opinion is that this is a good case. Thanks for all your continued work in this area. You are keeping up the good fight for truth Leisa.

Excellent polemic Leisa. You did it without accusing the Bretheren in any way I could see. See you in October!
Hi Chuck,
Thanks for commenting on my presentation. 🙂

Hi Gary,
I didn’t expect that you did see the Church and Israel as being the same. 🙂 But had you heard of it before?
