Hey Kasey! I also laughed while reading your post, and related as I grew up in a variety of different denominations with some charismatic influence here and there 🙂 Most of the churches I was in taught dispensationalism, as did my parents — it was actually a pretty important belief to them. Since then I have been in other churches that have members of varying beliefs but that lean more supersessionist. It’s interesting to see the impact of both perspectives — you would think it doesn’t have that much impact on how we live out faith in the day to day, but it does. I resonated with your comments on Christianity and antisemitism; I don’t believe supersessionism has to lead to antisemitism at all, but it is a tragedy when people twist theology into something totally antithetical to God’s character.
