Those who would imply that "everyone" of the Reformed persuasion believes that God is through with the Jews and are firmly "down" with what they call replacement theology simply don't understand us.
Margaret,
Thanks for your comments. I'm beginning to wonder if using the phrase is the extent to which they explain covenant theology (I may be wrong, though), similar to the way some people say reformed churches couldn't completely break from the catholic church, and therefore they baptize infants. For some, no more needs to be said. The point is made, and with one quick statement you can prove everybody else wrong, and yourself right.
