I heard a "Messianic Jew" who claims to believe Jesus who he calls Yeshua is the Messiah tell me that he thinks the antichrist will be Jewish
But then he knowingly or unknowingly said a bunch of other "Jewish" lies which might make "Jews" more comfortable with visiting the congregation but hide the degree of deception the majority of rabbis promote
"No one is "using" the jews.
The jews are the problem."
Evil beings can make alliances to use other evil beings that would still be evil without the alliance but might be more successful at committing evil deeds through the alliance

The Old Testament says more nasty things about the majority of the descendants of Jacob / Israel then the New Testament in my opinion
Basically a small minority of Jacob's descendants warned the majority to stop doing bad things and the majority of a large enough percent of them doubled down on doing bad things

The idea of clergy having the right to boss people around is bad and all Churches I have been to turned out bad because of clergy structure which I think the Old and New testament prophets would oppose if they existed
Clergy tend to be dishonest or ignorant and can not criticize Israel correctly and maintain power structure
Reading the Bible on your own without being controlled by clergy be a good thinking exercise

I have some typos on the last two comments I am not going to bother to correct but that explains some weird wording
@pepsi_man @Invictus @samjayganges
If Clergy publicly say certain things the government and media will try to destroy them
If you read it on your own in the Bible and secretly think it they can not catch you doing so so easily because it is done in private

Although I disagree with him about numerous things I think Shawn McCraney has some of the best ideas about Church meetings and clergy if you are going to have such a thing
Basically people can meet up and talk about the Bible and if they meet in a building you can have some people organize to maintain the physical infrastructure but people can believe & say whatever they want and attend as long as no one physically attacks anyone else

The problem with home churches is usually people tend to view someone in the group as authoritative and do not bother to research it for themself just like in another Church but it tends not to be as bad
I pray for the day we can decouple from these parasites.
What's the civilizational equivalent of a flea dip?
