Replacement Theology: Its Root, Fruit, and Consequences for Jewish People and the Nation of Israel – NOW AVAILABLE

Posted on November 28, 2025 by ccpastormike

Excerpt:

What Replacement Theology as a system embraces is metaphysical personalism – a belief that Old Testament realities/promises are transformed/absorbed/dissolved in Christ. By doing this, Replacement Theology believes it is justified in discarding/eliminating God’s covenant promises to Israel and co-opting them to the church. This is a serious error. There is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between Replacement Theology/Supersessionism and antisemitism. Replacement Theology adherents can no longer hide from this conclusion. Nor should we allow them to do so. Any theology that leads to hating people, be they Jewish or otherwise, is a theology not worthy of our consideration and must be opposed.

We are at a pivotal point in history. How the church approaches Israel today will determine the impact it has on the earth in our day and until the return of Jesus. Israel remains an inescapable stumbling block for many Christians. This should not be the case. The church should be Israel’s biggest advocate. That it is not is a sad commentary. God’s eternal plan for Israel is intertwined with His plan for all the nations. Christians, above all people, should make it a pursuit to understand the biblical story of Israel and God’s plan for them in the future. Buckle up, friends, the ride is going to be bumpy for some.

Christian America: Gog of Magog Is Not Russia

Posted on March 3, 2025 by ccpastormike

Current events demand that we understand what the Bible says in its prophetic passages. Many Christians are entertaining the idea that we are in the time of Ezekiel 38-39. Is that the case? Is Gog rising upon the earth? I don’t believe so as I will explain below.

The war of Gog and Magog is sometimes confused with the Battle of Armageddon. These two events are different for several reasons.

First, the war of Gog and Magog has a very focused theater of operations, namely Israel. The assembled armies come against Israel specifically and are destroyed by Yahweh Himself. Conversely, the battle of Armageddon is a worldwide conflict of the nations of the world assembled against Jesus Christ.

The Truth Concerning the Birth of Jesus: What the Manger Scene Tells Us – Dr. Mike Spaulding

Posted on December 22, 2024 by ccpastormike

Here we are again, another Christmas Sunday. The celebration of the birth of our Savior is a few days away. As I have done for the last couple of years, I’m breaking from our current Lord’s Day study, in our case this year, the book of Acts. I’m taking this Lord’s Day to teach about our Christmas celebration. Those who have been with us here at Calvary for a while may recall that two years ago, I titled the Christmas Sunday teaching, Debunking the Debunkers. Then last year I titled the Christmas Sunday teaching, Merry Non-Pagan Christmas.

The reason I have done this for the last couple of years is because the noise around Christmas gets louder all the time. I’m speaking of all the people who take to social media to remind the rest of us that Christmas is pagan. These people tell us that it originated with Roman Catholicism or Constantine, or the Druids, or some other pagan demonic source. Critics tell us that the day is really about the festival of the “Birth of the Unconquered Sun” or, Sol Invictus.[1]

Is any of this true? It is absolutely not true yet so many who profess Jesus Christ seem to take great pains to criticize and denigrate other Christians who celebrate the day set aside to commemorate the incarnation of the savior of the world.

Revelation 17-18 Show Us The Near Future – Babylon Will Fall

Posted on October 23, 2024 by ccpastormike

I hear people say “The world is falling apart.” I take a different view. I believe things are falling into place. We are marching toward the culmination of Jesus’ destruction of wickedness and evil upon the earth. Revelation 18 offers details of the true nature of the end times civic and commercial Babylon, as well as the complete and total annihilation of it. This one world government is coming into sharp focus in our day and will for a short time have complete control over all aspects of life for those “who dwell on the earth.”[1]

It appears to me that the current race to implement the United Nations agendas across the earth, the rapid development of AI, transhumanist technology such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink, and the virulent Anti-Israelism evidenced across the earth, is proof that we are on the cusp of a drastic change in how we live our lives day by day. At stake is our freedom and liberty as Americans, our rights of self-determination under a form of government where we are meant to have input, and the very ideals of Americanism. Add to this the creation and expansion of BRICS[2] and the push by the US Government working in conjunction with the Federal Reserve to implement a new government controlled crypto currency, and you have the makings of a totalitarian global regime.

There Is A Coming Kingdom – Dr. Mike Spaulding

Posted on September 24, 2024 by ccpastormike

We are seeing in our day, a rise in Christian radicalism. Specifically, I see some Christians calling for an armed rebellion to squash the evildoers in our midst. I see it because at one time, I was of the same opinion. I no longer hold the view that the Church of Jesus Christ is to take on the Deep State, the Council on Foreign Relations, the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, or the United Nations, to name a few.

The commission the Church has been given is to tell the world about the free gift of salvation God the Father has made available to “whosoever will” believe in Jesus the Christ. It is our solemn duty and honor to expose the workings of the kingdom of darkness. We must exercise all spiritual authority in Christ to persuade the hearts of men and women toward Him. But make no mistake, it is the work of the Holy Spirit which causes the new birth.
