If “great deception” it is in universally recognized New Testament canon.

Of course it is - How else to almost fool the very elect? The problem isn't in the New Testament itself, but rather in how it is interpreted.

There are, were, and always will be until Christ’s return, “Judaizers.” Who will insist the Jewish style is the only valid Christian style.

Do you really think it is about 'style'? YHWH does not change. Yeshua (our example) does not change.

As to 'Judaizers', one must understand the distinction between Torah and tradition, in just the same way that Roman tradition effects Christianity.

And the proof is in the prophets. They proclaim a day when the whole world will keep Torah, to include the Sabbath and the Holy Days... How then, does Christianity get from here to there? Just sayin.

Some people say that since the Savior lived as a Jew, this means all saved Gentiles must, too. But no. No more than all Christians must die on actual crosses. This is a problem that to me, bespeaks reducing Jesus to an idol. That was a great risk God took and why in early revelation God warned the Hebrews that “they saw no likeness on the mountain.” Because if they did, they’d idolize it!

No... at least not while on earth. I pays my money and takes my choice. Realizing however, that a time is coming when the blessing of the Lord will be so fulsome upon the Jews that Gentiles will want to be one of them (and that will be granted). The distinction here is one of freedom.

How else to fool the very elect?... that ATTEMPT to fool them (which will fail in the end once they wise up) will of course involve a theology that twists the scriptures, but that doesn’t mean that what I have asserted twists the scriptures.

The bible itself says that the fooling will be done with “signs and miracles.” And it will, I believe, be marked with great parochialism. Be part of our cult or you aren’t saved! they will holler, as they do works that will have a demonic cast.
