Tell Me The Truth

A significant gap in scriptural understanding arises from the rejection or sidelining of Jewish covenant theology and traditions. The early Church was deeply intertwined with Jewish culture, which was reflected in its language, ethics, and prophetic worldview. However, as time progressed, imperial theology began to replace the original covenantal stewardship, with Greco-Roman philosophy reframing Hebraic truths in ways that often obscured their original meanings. The Roman Catholic Church, through centuries of doctrinal authority and political alignment, positioned itself as the gatekeeper of Christian faith—often at the expense of the very roots from which it emerged. For those who have never encountered this history early in their spiritual journey, learning how the Roman Church established its authority can be both enlightening and sobering, revealing truths hidden not only from them but also from the wider Christian literature they were taught to trust.
