If one believes Jesus is the Messiah (and he is), one should concede that Isaiah 53 prophesied of him. If one accepts this premise one should admit that Jesus did not speak with guile nor deceive the people of Israel. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Jesus did not lie. He did not deceive. Historically the Gentiles took over the churches and all our history is replete with wars of a religious nature. The Jews were persecuted and slaughtered, for being Jews. So much evil has been done in Jesus' name; some Gentiles who professed to be Christians have poisoned the well so to speak. Not only that, we have the divine temporary blinding of Israel so that Israel cannot recognize Messiah. I completely trust God in this matter and make supplication to the Father in the name of the LORD Jesus Christ in full communion with Mary, mother of our Lord, who is God with us, as well as the Jewish Apostles (who love their brethren) and all the saints who have pleased God, for Israel, to show them mercy, for it is in the same mercy that we shall be saved. Blessed John Paul II and Cardinal Koch correctly perceive that the Jews are our elder brethren. Every Jewish baby is another branch from the same tree. For the promise is unto you, and to your children
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

boy oh boy, where to start. first of all, there are no churches, this is the Church.
second of all, the Gentiles didn’t “take over” anything, in Christ we are all one, there is no Greek, there is no Jew.
here is a test for you, what did Jesus say in John 8 would happen to any Jew that did not believe he was the Messiah?
