Hi Emile,
The Catholic Church was formed out of the first century Christian Church and then grew in scope and power to the point that it controlled every area of life for all Europeans. It was a grand scheme to redirect the Christian Church to where it would become unfruitful and stop bringing people to know Jesus. Adhering to a form of godliness while denying God's power. It bottled up knowledge to the point that people became ignorant and hopelessly enslaved to the priests who literally had the power of life or death over them. It has always been obvious that this was a grand scheme of the devils for containment of the Gospel after his defeat at Calvary. It worked well for a long time but then came Luther and Calvin.
Because Israel was scattered I never had any thoughts of what happened to the OT religion after Calvary. I knew that it was still believed by the Jewish people but the idea that the devil had a plan to use it also for containment of the Gospel of Jesus just never occurred to me. I knew that the religious leaders rejected Jesus and stories were handed down. But that the devil would come in and build on that and use it to keep people from Jesus seems obvious after reading your post.
So with the Catholic Church and the OT religion both keeping people from Jesus the devil had two fronts to try to contain and minimize the damage caused to him at Calvary. It's amazing that the Gospel of Jesus, so powerful, was slowed down so effectively in history so that only now are Jesus's words being fulfilled that "This Gospel must be preached to all the Nations." The devils plan on every front is to thwart the "great commission."
I think there is a huge misunderstanding here. Inflamatory rhetoric and highly reactionary individuals have blown things up so big that the truth is difficult to strain from the rest.

Have a good evening,

Bob

PS I can also see after centuries of indoctrination that Israel now would be prime for being decieved by the anti-christ when he appears. They will accept him for a time and eventually realize their mistake. Maybe that will send them running to Jesus.
