Supersessionism
Supersessionism, also called replacement theology or fulfillment theology, is a Christian theological view on the current status of the  church in relation to the Jewish people and Judaism. It holds that the Christian Church has succeeded the Israelites as the definitive people of God or that the New Covenant has replaced or superseded the Mosaic covenant. From a supersessionist's "point of view, just by continuing to exist [outside the Church], the Jews dissent".This view directly contrasts with dual-covenant theology which holds that the Mosaic covenant remains valid for Jews.
