One of the most popular objections I get from people is that Galatians 6:16 proves the Church is spiritual Israel and thus has replaced ethnic Israel. A tragic misinterpretation (and misapplication) is to use this verse as justification for the hypothesis that since the majority of Jews rejected the Messiah and His gospel, God has instituted a new program in which the New Testament Church, the body of Christ, has replaced Israel and inherited the promises He originally intended to bestow on Israel. This teaching is often referred to as replacement theology.
