Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s.
Today is 7th month called July, the 27th day, of 2013
July -- Julius Caesar's month
Middle
English Julie
Latin Julius "Julius"
Latin Julius mensis "month of Julius"
Latin quintilis mensis "fifth month"
Quintilis (and later Julius) has always had 31 days.
Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar (hence the Julian calendar) in 46 BC. In the process, he renamed this month after himself.
----------------------------------------------------
Yehovah has His own calendar
We
are now in the 5th month, 18th day (this month has no name)
Judaism calls the 5th month Av which is made up – adding to the Word
Judaism made up the name AV (father?) and they say they have a civil year and religious year. They say AV is the eleventh month of the civil year, and fifth month of the religious year. Wrong!
Yehovah only has "ONE CALENDAR".
Deut. 11 [12] A land which Yehovah thy God careth for: the eyes of Yehovah thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

Today's Topic: False church
fathers
As some history states:
Cerinthus's heresy?
Millennial
Heresy, Origins of The Millennium doctrine started
with an ungodly heretic by the name of Cerinthus, who lived in the first century.
It is
true that the Jews generally believed that the Messiah would establish a
literal or earthly kingdom. And even some of them believed that Messiah's reign
would last a thousand years.
Here
is an extract from Neander's
History of Christian Dogmas, Vol. 1, Page
248.
"The idea of a Millennial reign proceeded from Judaism; for among the Jews the representation was current that
the Messiah would reign a thousand years upon earth. .
. . Such products of Jewish imagination passed over into
Christianity."
There
are many writings that state that Cerinthus
had so-called revelations, and things shown to him by angels, alleging that after the resurrection the kingdom of
Christ is to be on earth, and that the flesh dwelling in Jerusalem is again to be subject to desires and pleasures.
Again - he says that there is to be space of a thousand years for marriage festivities." Another one of his doctrines he taught was that
Christ would have an earthly kingdom.
This
is the true origin of the Millennium theory.
This
language he uses with special reference to the one thousand years Cerinthus claimed would be spent in sensuality. Notice also that Cerinthus believed in an earthly kingdom. Cerinthus lived in the days
of the apostle John.
This
mixture of Judaism and Oriental philosophy was calculated to make many
converts, and this sect soon became very numerous.
They admitted a
part of St. Matthew's Gospel but rejected the rest, and held the epistles of
St. Paul in great abhorrence." (Gregory and Ruter's Church History., Page 30)
Observe how closely
the modern Millennium teachers of today cling to the
doctrines of their founder.
Cerinthus taught that "Christ will have an earthly kingdom."
"After the resurrection the kingdom of Christ is to be on earth."
"The
resurrection would be followed by exquisite delights in the Millenary reign of
Christ." " That
Christ would hereafter return, and would reign with his followers a thousand
years in Israel.
The only
difference is that his modern followers today have dropped the idea of
sensuality.
----------------
Another
book states that:"Cerinthus required his followers to worship the
supreme God.... He promised them a resurrection of their bodies, which would be succeeded by exquisite delights in the
Millenary reign of Christ....
For Cerinthus supposed that
Christ would hereafter return . . . and would reign with his followers a
thousand years in Israel." (Mosheim's Eccl. Hist., Page 50)
To
sum up this up, the theory of a literal kingdom and reign on the earth was
gathered from Jewish fabulous "revelations," "unwritten
tradition," "carnal misapprehensions," "pretended
visions," "suppositions," and "superstitious imaginations."
Millennialism
had the worst heretic in the first century for its founder, and its chief
advocates thereafter were rejected by the early church.
From
time to time it was revived by "heretical sects."
The
vain worldly expectation that the Messiah would establish a literal kingdom
caused the Jews to
reject him, and his spiritual kingdom.
They only
wanted an earthly kingdom; hence rejected and crucified the
Son of God.
As soon as the
church began to apostatize, and lost the glory of his spiritual kingdom, vain
ambitions awakened the old Jewish desire for a literal kingdom.
And
so it has come to pass that we have at this time of dead formality a multitude
of men teaching the same abominable lie and false hope which crucified Christ
nearly nineteen hundred years ago; namely, a literal kingdom of Christ.
Source:
H. M. Riggle, "History of the
Millennium," The Kingdom of God, 1899.
All
claim, even today, 2013, that their doctrine is well founded in the book
Revelation. Let’s read Rev.20:
Rev.20
[1] And I saw an angel come down from
heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the
Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
[3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a
seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand
years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Notice in the Scriptures below, John
never says the
thrones he saw in his vision were on earth, he never says that these beheaded
people will reign on the earth; by the way beheaded people mean they must have
been killed for the stand they made for Messiah.
[4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither
his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their
hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
[5] But the rest of the dead lived not
again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in
the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall
be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison,
[8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four
quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather
them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand
of the sea.
[9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp
of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of
heaven, and devoured them.
[10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into
the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and
shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Again, this passage below is not on
the earth as we know, this is the last judgment, and it will be over.
[11]
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the
earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
[12] And I saw the dead, small and great, stand
before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is
the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were
written in the books, according to their works.
[13] And the sea gave up the dead which
were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they
were judged every man according to their works.
[14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second
death.
[15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the
lake of fire. (shall be tormented day and night
forever and ever.)
There are no other scriptures found
in the Bible that speak of a 1000 year reign on the earth after the
resurrection of Messiah or anywhere for that matter.
-------------------
Now let’s move on to the
false so-called church fathers
Let's start with a false
so-called church father called ORIGEN
ORIGEN live
about 185 – 251 A.D. He was an Ebionite, one who
accepts the moral teachings of Christ, but denies the doctrine of salvation.
He believed in infant
baptism.
He believed in universal
salvation, that is, all men would be saved, rather than could be saved.
He believed that sin was
forgiven through communion.
He did not believe that
Christ was a high priest.
He did not believe in a
resurrection of the body into a spiritual body.
He could not tell you
when, where, or how, or why he was saved.
By his own admission, he
amended the Gospels and letters whenever and wherever he felt like.
It is on the work of
this man that the whole line of the corrupt versions of the Bible lies.
In the fourth century,
Emperor Constantine of Rome supposedly converted to Christianity.
Supposedly the sincerity
of his conversion and his motivation for converting have been under serious
question.
At any rate, he asked a fellow named Eusebius to
make him 50 copies of the Bible.
Unfortunately, Eusebius
was the wrong man to ask.
He was an Arian, one who
denies the deity of Messiah and he did not believe in a literal interpretation
of the Bible.
Worst of all,
he was a great admirer of ORIGEN.
The next step in the
corrupt line was Jerome’s Latin Vulgate written about 400 A.D. it was based
primarily on the work of ORIGEN and Eusebius.
For the next thousand
years, that was the standard Bible of the Catholic Church.
The last stop between
the modern versions is the Rheims-Douay Bible completed about 1610.
It is the current Bible
of the Catholic Church. Of course, it reflects the work of Origen, Eusebius,
and Jerome.
The most
cursory examination of this line of Bibles reveals the fact that it has a Roman
Catholic heritage.
It should be noted that
the Roman Catholic Church has traditionally been opposed to layman reading the
Bible.
At times, the Roman
Catholic Church has even forbidden ownership of the Bible by the common man.
The corrupt nature of
these Bibles and the attitude of the church, which promoted them all helps to
explain why none of these Bibles were even popular.
One more note:
In discussing the text
of the Bible, the revisionists will often use the phrase “according to the
original Greek”.
This leads one to
believe that have access to the original autograph manuscripts. They do not.
No one today
has the original writings themselves.
Let me repeat that: the
original autographical manuscripts of the Gospels, no longer exists.
There were written on
perishable material and is unlikely that they lasted more than a few years, let
alone 19th centuries!
This is why the doctrine
of divine preservation Is so vital. If God
has not preserve his word as he states in Psalms 12:6 – 7, then it was irrevocably
lost 1900 years ago. That would mean
that no Bible in existence today is anymore inspired than a Harold Robbins
novel and that Yeshua the Messiah is a liar.
Often, the same people
that refer you to the original Greek will also refer you to the original Bible.
There was no original Bible. At no time did the original autographical
manuscripts of the 27 books of the Gospels and letters ever reside between the
covers of one particular book. To say you believe in the original Bible is to
say, you believe in nothing, no such book ever existed!
The Gospels and epistles
not written as a book per se, it was written by eight or nine different men, in
a variety of locations and circumstances, albeit over a period of about 60
years. Generally speaking, the books of the Gospels and epistles were
originally letters which were written to certain congregations or individuals.
These letters were written on papyrus in a particular kind of be called koine
Greek. Koine
Greek was the language of the common man at that time. It is important to
remember that the Gospels and letters were originally written in koine
Greek.
This is very important
because all the Catholic Bibles took the original koine
Greek, and then translated them to classical Greek.
Remember, the Gospels
and letters written on papyrus koine Greek.
It is important to know
the difference between classical Greek and koine
Greek for these reasons:
1- since
the Gospels were written in koine Greek, a
manuscript copy in koine Greek is apt
to have a closer reading.
2- there
are some 500 words in koine Greek, which
are used in the Gospels which cannot be translated into classical Greek.
3- the
majority of early Christian accepted manuscripts in koine
Greek, in preference to, manuscripts in classical Greek.
This corrupt line of
ascension accounts for only 5% of manuscript evidence. Let me repeat: only 5%
of the manuscript evidence supports this line of text. 5%!
As the Gospels and
letters circulated from church to church, each church would make a copy of the
letter before passing it on. Eventually, each church had its own collection of
letters.
It was only natural that
the collection of letters would eventually be put together in a book form some
day.
Much of the information
above is from a pamphlet I have called “perfected or perverted?”,
written by Norman Ward and compiled by a concerned laymen. Much of the
information is from David Otis Fuller.
There is much
information about Bible versions; however this will suffice as for the time
being.
How did the Church get so far from its Jewish roots?
Unfortunately, it has its basis in anti-Semitism - the hatred of God's chosen people, the Jews.
Satan hates the Jews
-------------------------------------
The term 'anti-semitism'
was coined in 1879 by a German journalist Wilhelm Marr to designate anti-Jewish
campaigns then appearing throughout Europe. Since that time, the term has been
universally applied to any form of behavior or literature which evidences
hostility toward the Jews.
Arafat has said "Kill the Christians on Sunday, kill the Jews on Saturday," as well as "Kill a Jew and save your soul".
Anti-Semitism and the early false church fathers
More Jews have been
killed in the name of this false christianity
than anything else. There is so much documentation that it is absolutely
appalling to any lover of the Scriptures. Volumes could be written, but this
will only highlight a few. Not only did our False Christian forefathers hate
the Jews and disengage themselves from them, they persecuted them throughout
history, beginning as early as 69 A.D. Indeed, from the day that Stephen
was stoned to death, there arose intense persecution against the Messianic
community in Jerusalem.
The early False Church lodged two big accusations against the Jews:
The first
false accusation
was "Deicide" that the Jews killed the son of God and that the
Jews are ritual murders.
The second false
accusation was supersession, now called "Replacement Theology". This false teaching says
that since the Jews had rejected Yeshua as the Son, that
their special bond with the Father was no longer valid, and the Christians were
now "the new Israel". The triumph of the elect (Christians) over the
rejected (Jews) justified the inferior status of the latter and showed them up
as the "living witness" and the One and True Faith (Christianity).
The following are just a few examples of how the False Church fathers spoke against the Jews:
Origen, 185-254 A.D., was most responsible
for changing the way the Church interpreted prophecy, creating the atmosphere
in which Christian anti-semitism took root
and spread. He developed a new teaching on "legalism" setting the
stage throughout history for the term "legalism" becoming synonymous
with Judaism and both being condemned. (Legalism is not the following of the Old
Testament Torah as is currently defined by some present-day teachings.
Webster's Dictionary defines legalism as "the doctrine of salvation by
good works."
Using his method the
Church began to develop the idea that the Israelites had permanently forfeited
all their covenants by rejecting Jesus as the Messiah, that these covenants now
belong to the church, and that the church is the only true Israel now and
forever. In order to alleviate himself of his sin nature, he castrated himself.
Considered to be a heretic, he was excommunicated by two church councils. His
later disciples consisted of Gregory, Dionysus, Hieracas,
Pamphilus,
Eusebius
of the Nicene Age).
If the early Church considered him a heretic, why are we still embracing his teachings on legalism today?
----------
The Crusaders (11th and
12th century)
theological tenets supported the mass murder of Jews and launched what our
generation has come to know in Bosnia as "ethnic cleansing operations".
The Spanish Inquisition still has the country
of Spain in bondage to its many curses due to the shedding of innocent blood.
These campaigns were both done "in the name of Yeshua and for the glory of
God."
Martin Luther, 1483-1546
A.D., was
by far the worst proponent of anti-semitism. During his
early years, he stated that the Jews were special. When they did not convert to
Christianity after the corruption of the Roman Church was exposed, he turned on
them, writing:
"Set Jewish
synagogues on fire for the honor of God. God will see we are Christians when we
get rid of the Jews. Likewise homes should be destroyed; they should be put in
a stable; they are not heirs of promises of God and deserve to die. Deprive
them of all prayer shawls, prayer books and communication, revoke all
passports, stop them from doing all business, everything they possess we
believe they stole and robbed from us. They do not have God's blessings, drive
them out of the country ... get rid of them."
In 1924 at a Christian gathering in Berlin, Adolf Hitler, a professed Christian, stood before thousands of Christians, and with a standing ovation said:
"I believe that
today I am acting in accordance with the will of Almighty God. As I announce
the most important work that Christians could undertake and that is to be
against the Jews and get rid of them once and for all. We are doing the work of
the Lord and let's get on with it." Hitler stated, "Martin Luther has
been the greatest encouragement of my life. Luther was a great man. He was a
giant. Within one blow he heralded the coming of the new dawn and the new age.
He saw clearly that the Jews need to be destroyed and we're only beginning to
see that we need to carry this work on." Hitler followed to the letter,
Luther's treatise on how to exterminate the Jews. Martin Luther preached his
last sermon avidly against the Jews and died four days later. Indeed, Nazi
leader Striker at his Nuremberg trial stated, "I have never said
anything that Martin Luther did not say".
Other Christian leaders that were strong proponents of anti-semitism include: Constantine the Great (280-337 A.D.); Saint Gregory of Nyssa (335-394 A.D.); Saint Augustine (354-430 A.D.); Saint Jerome (374-419 A.D.); Saint Fulgentius of Ruspe (467-533 A.D.); Pope Innocent III (1160-61-1216 A.D.); Pope Pious IV (1499-15654 C.E.).
John Calvin became a proponent of
"grace over law" found in his Institutes of Christian Religion, which
became the guide for the Reformed Church of Protestantism. Notable anti-semitists
of the twentieth century include Joseph Stalin and Henry Ford.
The most destructive
pieces of anti-semitic literature ever produced,
especially with its fabrication of the Jews plan to take over the world, is The
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, published by Sergyei
Nilus
of Russia in 1905 .
The Jews have even been blamed for the Black Plague, and as a result were put to death.
Church law throughout
the ages has been extremely anti-semitic. Jews were
not permitted to eat with Christians; nor permitted to hold public office; etc,
etc.... Other laws included the marking of clothes with a badges; and
compulsory ghettos (1267 A.D.).
While all these laws
were instituted against the Jews, they were still obliged to pay taxes for
support of the Church to the same extent as Christians.
This is only a short list of the atrocities instituted against the Jews.
Many of the things
believed to have been originated with Hitler truly found their source with the
False Church fathers. Hitler was just following what he thought to be early
False Church doctrine.
Part 2
Anti-Semitism of the "False Church Fathers"
Did you know?
Ignatius Bishop of Antioch (98-117A.D.) Epistle to the Magnesians
For if we are still practicing Judaism, we admit that we have not received God’s favor…it is wrong to talk about Jesus Christ and live like Jews. For Christianity did not believe in Judaism, but Judaism in Christianity.
"Epistle of Barnabas" Chapter 4vs 6-7 (between 130A.D. and 138 A.D.)
Take heed to yourselves and be not like some piling up you sins and saying that the covenant is theirs as well as ours. It is ours, but they lost it completely just after Moses received it.
Justin Martyr - Dialogue with Trypho (Between 138A.D. and 161 A.D.)
We too, would observe your circumcision of the flesh, your Sabbath days, and in a word, all you festivals, if we were not aware of the reason why they were imposed upon you, namely, because of your sins and the hardness of heart.
The custom of circumcising the flesh, handed down from Abraham, was given to you as a distinguishing mark, to set you off from other nations and from us Christians. The purpose of this was that you and only you might suffer the afflictions that are now justly yours; that only your land be desolated, and you cities ruined by fire, that the fruits of you land be eaten by strangers before your very eyes; that not one of you be permitted to enter your city of Jerusalem. Your circumcision of the flesh is the only mark by which you can certainly be distinguished from other men…as I stated before it was by reason of your sins and the sins of your fathers that, among other precepts, God imposed upon you the observence of the sabbath as a mark.
Origen of Alexandria (185-254 A.D.) A ecclesiastical writer and teacher who contributed to the early formation of Christian doctrines.
We may thus assert in utter confidence that the Jews will not return to their earlier situation, for they have committed the most abominable of crimes, in forming this conspiracy against the Savior of the human race…hence the city where Jesus suffered was necessarily destroyed, the Jewish nation was driven from its country, and another people was called by God to the blessed election.
John Chrysostom (344-407 A.D.) One of the "greatest" of church fathers; known as "The Golden Mouthed." A missionary preacher famous for his sermons and addresses.
The synagogue is worse than a brothel,it is the den of scoundrels and the repair of wild beasts, the temple of demons devoted to idolatrous cults, the refuge of brigands and dabauchees, and the cavern of devils. It is a criminal assembly of Jews…a place of meeting for the assassins of Christ… a house worse than a drinking shop…a den of thieves, a house of ill fame, a dwelling of iniquity, the refuge of devils, a gulf and a abyss of perdition."…"I would say the same things about their souls… As for me, I hate the synagogue…I hate the Jews for the same reason.
From "The Roots
of Christian Anti-Semitism" by Malcolm Hay
St. Augustine (c. 354-430 A.D.), Confessions, 12.14
How hateful to me are the enemies of your Scripture! How I wish that you would slay them (the Jews) with your two-edged sword, so that there should be none to oppose your word! Gladly would I have them die to themselves and live to you!
Peter the Venerable known as "the meekest of men, a model of Christian charity"
Yes, you Jews. I say, do I address you; you, who till this very day, deny the Son of God. How long, poor wretches, will ye not believe the truth? Truly I doubt whether a Jew can be really human… I lead out from its den a monstrous animal, and show it as a laughing stock in the amphitheater of the world, in the sight of all the people. I bring thee forward, thou Jew, thou brute beast, in the sight of all men.
From "The
Roots of Christian Anti-Semitism" by Malcolm Hay
Martin Luther 1543
On The Jews and Their Lies
What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of
Jews?
Since they
live among us and we know about their lying and blasphemy and cursing, we can
not tolerate them if we do not wish to share in their
lies, curses, and blasphemy.
In this way
we cannot quench the inextinguishable fire of divine rage nor convert the Jews.
We must prayerfully and reverentially practice a merciful severity. Perhaps we may save a few from the fire and flames [of hell]. We must not seek vengeance. They are surely being punished a thousand times more than we might wish them. Let me give you my honest advice.
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not
burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be
able to see a cinder or stone of it.
And this ought to be done for the honor of God and of Christianity in order that God may see that we are Christians, and that we have not wittingly tolerated or approved of such public lying, cursing, and blaspheming of His Son and His Christians.
Secondly, their homes should likewise be broken down and destroyed. For they perpetrate the same things there that they do in their synagogues. For this reason they ought to be put under one roof or in a stable, like gypsies, in order that they may realize that they are not masters in our land, as they boast, but miserable captives, as they complain of incessantly before God with bitter wailing.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayer-books and Talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing, and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threat of death to teach any more...
Fifthly, passport and traveling privileges should be absolutely forbidden to the Jews. For they have no business in the rural districts since they are not nobles, nor officials, nor merchants, nor the like.
Let them stay at home...If you princes and nobles do not close the road legally to such exploiters, then some troop ought to ride against them, for they will learn from this pamphlet what the Jews are and how to handle them and that they ought not to be protected. You ought not, you cannot protect them, unless in the eyes of God you want to share all their abomination...
To sum up, dear princes and nobles who have Jews in your domains, if this advice of mine does not suit you, then find a better one so that you and we may all be free of this insufferable devilish burden - the Jews...
Let the government deal with them in this respect, as I have suggested. But whether the government acts or not, let everyone at least be guided by his own conscience and form for himself a definition or image of a Jew. When you lay eyes on or think of a Jew you must say to yourself: Alas, that mouth which I there behold has cursed and execrated and maligned every Saturday my dear Lord Jesus Christ, who has redeemed me with his precious blood; in addition, it prayed and pleaded before God that I, my wife and children, and all Christians might be stabbed to death and perish miserably. And he himself would gladly do this if he were able, in order to appropriate our goods...
Such a desperate, thoroughly evil, poisonous, and devilish lot are these Jews, who for these fourteen hundred years have been and still are our plague, our pestilence, and our misfortune.
I have read and heard many stories about the Jews which agree with this judgment of Christ, namely, how they have poisoned wells, made assassinations, kidnapped children, as related before. I have heard that one Jew sent another Jew, and this by means of a Christian, a pot of blood, together with a barrel of wine, in which when drunk empty, a dead Jew was found. There are many other similar stories. For their kidnapping of children they have often been burned at the stake or banished (as we already heard). I am well aware that they deny all of this. However, it all coincides with the judgment of Christ which declares that they are venomous, bitter, vindictive, tricky serpents, assassins, and children of the devil, who sting and work harm stealthily wherever they cannot do it openly. For this reason, I would like to see them where there are no Christians. The Turks and other heathen do not tolerate what we Christians endure from these venomous serpents and young devils...next to the devil, a Christian has no more bitter and galling foe than a Jew. There is no other to whom we accord as many benefactions and from whom we suffer as much as we do from these base children of the devil, this brood of vipers.

Martin H. Bertram, "On The Jews and Their Lies ,
Luther's Works, Volume 47"; Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1971.
Martin Luther - 1543
Of The Unknowable Name and The Generations of Christ
But your [God's] judgment is right, justus es Dominie. Yes, so shall Jews, but no one else be punished, who held your word and miracles in contempt and ridiculed, insulted and damned it for such a long time without interruption, so that they will not fall, like other humans, heathens and all the others, into sin and death, not up in Hell, nor in the middle of Hell but in the pit of Hell, as one cannot fall deeper...
Even if they were punished in the most gruesome manner that the streets ran with their blood, that their dead would be counted, not in the hundred thousands, but in the millions, as happened under Vespasian in Jerusalem and for evil under Hadrian, still they must insist on being right even if after these 1,500 years they were in misery another 1,500 years, still God must be a liar and they must be correct. In sum, they are the devil's children, damned to Hell...
The Jews too got what they deserved. They had been called and elected to be God's mouth as Jeremiah says...Open your mouth wide and I will fill it; they however, kept tightly closed their muzzles, eyes, ears, nose, whole heart and all senses, so he polluted and squirted them so full that it oozes from them in all places and devil's filth comes from them.
Yes, that tastes good to them, into their hearts, they smack their lips like swine. That is how they want it. Call more: Crucify him, crucify him. Scream more: His blood come upon us and our children.’ (Matthew 27:25) I mean it came and found you...
Perhaps, one of the merciful Saints among us Christians may think I am behaving too crude and disdainfully against the poor, miserable Jews in that I deal with them so sarcastically and insulting. But, good God, I am much too mild in insulting such devils…
John Calvin
A Response To Questions and Objections of a Certain Jew
Their [the Jews] rotten and unbending stiffneckedness deserves that they be oppressed unendingly and without measure or end and that they die in their misery without the pity of anyone.

This information above is plentiful on the net for you to
review.
In closing:
I would just like let you know our church fathers are the prophets, the
apostles in the Bible and Yeshua the Messiah as the head.
For the so-called church fathers of the false Christianity
that was created, we fully reject their teachings.
At this point in time their histories are just blurring by
the vast space of time that has elapsed between them and us.
Get yourselves a copy of the King James Version of the Bible,
read it, believe it and do it.
