The Church and the Jews: The Biblical relationship

This book is a revelation about the Jewish people as a nation and their relationship to the rest of the world (the gentiles or goyim). You will come to understand why and how they have been persecuted so intensely along the centuries, especially by those called Christians in the organized church since 325 at the Council of Nicea. This is so much a history book as a good biblical interpretation of the role the Church and Israel play in prophecy fulfillment.

What is so difficult to understand in "You worship what you do not know, we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews" (John 4:22)? The organized church right after the Apostles' time became married to the emperor Constantine, it was a state-religion, therefore the real gospel of Jesus Christ became diluted. What was supposed to be love between Jew and Gentile (Goyim in Hebrew) became hatred. It wasn't meant to be so. We both, who are born of water and the Spirit, who worship the God of the Jews in Spirit and Truth, are the Church. But the Gospel of God was substituted by the word of Man, and its errors were accumulated along history. The state-church wanted to believe that the the Kingdom of God of prophecy had come, because the same emperor had brought it and forced it on his people. The organized church sold its soul, but God always kept his remnant, I believe, among both groups (Gentiles and Jews), despite the rule of this phony church up to the Reformation. Changes were made after the Middle Ages, during Calvin and Luther's time, but the hatred towards Jews persisted.

This is a fresh and clear exposition of the errors of the organized church, of the growing-up together of wheat and tares, perhaps it's time now for the reaping.

Historically it all started at the Bar Kokhba Rebellion of 132-135, when the Roman emperor Hadrian destroyed all the Jewish sinagogues in Palestine. Remember the Gospel was being spread in the beginning by Jews (all the apostles were so) from Palestine. The void was filled by Satan thru imposing the Gentiles' new version of revenge upon the Jews, kidnapping the real gospel of love.

We should be able to say in confidence with Justin Martyr: "For it is not men, or the doctrines of men, that I choose to follow, but God and the doctrines that come from Him".
