Wolf in sheep's clothing

The Official Roman Catholic take on the relationship between Jesus Christ and the books that make up today's Old Testament is one that totally retrofits the personality of Christ to the personality of God portrayed by the Jews. One can see this as one of many fundamental erroneous decisions made by so called Apostles in the early Roman church concerning the mission and purposes of Jesus Christ expressed in their Encyclopaedia as follows: "Christ reaffirmed, purified, and confirmed the Jewish theology, both moral and dogmatic" The Cyclical then goes on to argue that Jesus asserted the spiritual nature of the Godhead insisting that we worship him in spirit as he himself said according to John. In this way the link between Christ's view of his Father and the Jewish portrayal is made to look unified by talking about the Godhead predicated by the prejudicial belief that 'Christ reaffirmed' the picture of God in the Old Testament books.
The prejudicial belief was based on the assumption that Jesus' reference to the scriptures of his ancestors amounted to a deferential reference, i.e. deference, as if Jesus needed the testimony of sinners to authenticate and verify what he was teaching as the truth.
The truth is not dependent on the Old Testament at all. The truth is entirely dependent on the teaching of Christ as the primary and ONLY source for understanding the often twisted theology and narrative of the Jews.
Through Christ it is possible to be set free from the Law to truly obey it in a way that confounds and totally contradicts the way the Jews think they obey the Law today.
The Law to love God is easy to do when you know God but impossible to do when your knowledge of God is obscured by scriptures that have not come from him at all but from the bipolar spiritual condition of both men and women whose morality was on a Switchback between two extremes of social and political behaviour. On this switchback of egotistical tendencies they both murdered their neighbours and their kith and kin while celebrating the love and faithfulness of God, thus demonstrating to the world for all time a bipolar and psychopathic view of God they had never seen in the flesh until Jesus came to show him without this awful characterisation.
The upshot of the Roman theological take on Christ is that Christians worldwide ever since have been snatched up by a wolf in sheep's clothing, feeding their hearts and minds on a description of God that is a complex and terribly frightening parody, a poisonous mix of old and new wine, of the old genocidal way of sin blended in with the new peaceful way of the sinless suffering passive Christ as if it were all one personality and will. Yeuch, what an insult to The Lord Jesus Christ.
Heaven knows what distortion of Christ the Bible has brought into the world and heaven knows what will bring this terrible chapter of deception and duplicity to an end.

Good point, though sometimes it's hard to arrive to definite conclusions

We do not really have exact quotes from Jesus nor do we have a defined Bible that could be referred to as the word of God. I strongly believe that we can find the Jewish man Jesus if we are led by the spirit just as Rebecca was led by the servant to find her husband Isaac.
