“ Killed in Christ's Name! ” Overview ¶ One of the ideas that the Church was "New Israel" is that a church had to ape the Jewish priesthood, so a prelacy was established. Bishops of churches had to have oversight to make sure they did theirs jobs, monarchial bishops, oversaw them, Metropolitans oversaw them, Metropolitans were usually bishops of the largest church in an area, It was then decided that someone had to check on the Metropolitans, the archbishop was invented, then some needed to see the archbishops were toeing the party line, so cardinals were invented to fill this spot in the hierarchy, but of course someone had to keep the cardinals in line and one man filled that role, the Pope. ¶ Ethnic Israel had continuing blood sacrifices, and so the mass finally came about so Christ was continually blood sacrifice. This flies in the face of God, ¶ Romans 6:10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God--ESV ¶ The Apostolic church believed in Chiliasm or millennialism. This was a Jewish view, so it had to be rejected! Augustine was the most famous rejecter of the physical Kingdom. ¶ He approved allegory. He developed Amillinnialism. He's the first who taught the error that the Church was the Kingdom of God. Jews were killed by the thousands.
