Where has the church gone REALLY wrong? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. (Ephesians 2:14-18)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps we should remind the Gentiles how they have utterly failed mostly to follow this narrative, with centuries of hostility towards the Jewish people, thus rendering these verses a nonsense in their application of them. It is bad enough that \u201cChristians\u201d have relentlessly persecuted the Jewish people for centuries, but there is still hostility towards Jews who have accepted Christ and\u00a0now have access to the Father by the same Spirit.\u00a0<\/em>And it all started, as we saw in preceding articles, with the Gentile Church stripping away the Jewish roots of the faith, starting with the Sabbath and Passover.\u00a0One New Man<\/em>\u00a0was cut off in its prime and a lop-sided Church has reigned ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
