How did Catholics treat them (notice I said Catholics and not Christians ) for doing exactly as Jesus said ? They called them heretics and even had some of them put to do death . How do Catholics treat them now , they curse at them and say they are not followers of Christ (kinda like you just did ) hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wonder if that is why middle eastern Catholics have been so cursed themselves ?
>>Catholic means universal. I’m not going to apologize for what some Western Christians did during the Middle Ages.
I’m not a Western Christian. Anti-Catholic bigots always ignore the fact John Paul II made an atonement for the sins of the past in 2000. They are all stuck in the past.
The modern Messianics have nothing in common with Jesus and his apostles. Their theology is a heretical mixture of Evangelical Protestantism and warmed over Rabinnical Judaism, which differs vastly from the Judaism of Jesus’s time.
Do you follow the Septuagint? The apostles did. All of the OT quotes in the New Testament are taken from the Septuagint version, not from the flawed Rabinnical Massoretic text.
Middle Eastern Catholics cursed. That’s a new one. They have far more in common with apostolic Christianity than Messianic Judaizers.
Your sect is neither Christian nor Jewish. It’s sort of in a no-man’s land between the two.
Lets see how blessed middle eastern Christians are .
Lebanon - once Christian now Islamic
Egypt - looks what has happened to the Copts and how Egypt has been swallowed up by Islam (psssssssssst the whole the Jews killed Jesus thing came straight out of Egypt from Origen who by the way the early church considered him heretical but now the Catholics don’t )
Syria - again used to be a Christian country ... how can a curse like islam take over these countries ??????????
It happens when the Gospel is not preached
They keep cursing Israel and pushing for a Palestinian state and what is happening to them ? They are getting persecuted more and more . I would not call having your children kidnapped and forced to convert to islam a blessing ... to me that is a CURSE .
The Bible tells us that where the GOSPEL is preached that it SPREADS .... why has what once was Christian been swallowed up instead of spreading ... what has changed in what was once preached ?
Europe is not much better off and it won’t be long before we start seeing the same thing there . What is not being preached ? These are not blessings
Oh and Mathew 23:1-4 doesn’t read any differently in Greek than it does in the English King James so maybe you should go read what Jesus told his followers about following everything they said when they sat in Moses’ seat (Torah was read when they sat in Moses’ seat and he told them to follow it .... it all testifies of him)
BTW I am not Jewish
