John wanted them to reject YHvH and instead embrace the Paganism of Constantine's Roman church

The Church believed in Christ Jesus. That's really "pagan!" The Church opposed those who enticed Christians to embrace Judaism. That's not racist. The issue was religion, not ethnicity. His homilies are against Judaiziers, not Jews.

John Chrystostom condemned the worship of YHvH, the creator of the universe.

John argued for worship of the Man-made religion of Pagan Rome: Sunday, Easter.

What you call "church" is a man-made enterprise.

It was given a charter to operate as a state-sponsored enterprise
by the Pontiff, Constantine, the Pagan Emperor.

The Roman "church" rejected the YHvH commanded Feast of Passover( Nissan 14 )
and instead embraced the Pagan Easter(Pascha) on a very different date on a very
different calendar than than which was defined by the creator of the universe.

A careful reading of John Chrystostom's homilies against the Jews,
one would see it is racist as he calls YHvH's Chosen People unkind names.
These name are not based on the Charity of Yah'shua.

Clearly John Chrystostom is neither a Prophet nor is he Charitable.

YHvH commanded worship on Shabbat and not on the Pagan "Sunday" of the Roman "church".

YHvH commanded worship on Passover and not on the Pagan Easter(Pascha) of the Roman "church".
