I loved this episode. And I might get some hate for this (and I am NOT a theologian) but I feel like the discussion was sort of touching on this issue without naming it so it might be helpful to clarify that some Christians are Supersessionists or practice Replacement Theology, believing that the Christian Church has superseded or replaced the Jewish people as God's covenant people. I do not endorse this or think that these people are correct, just explaining that they have existed in history. I personally think it is bad theology and has caused a lot of pain; and in fact in Mathew 5:17 (NIV) Jesus said "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I come not to abolish them but to fulfill them." He said it Himself.
I’m a long time Lewis fan and have read the Screwtape Letters twice, the first time at 14. His opinions and thought is more serious and weirder than you can imagine after one reading, but the screwtape letters is a remarkable book, and really a book about virtue and vice more than its ever a book about Satan and Hell.

I’m so excited for this, you cannot understand!!
Converting to Christianity saved me a fortune in temple fees, just saying
I could have gotten you a good deal ;)
