This is something that I have long suspected but I had no record of it myself. My own folks have not troubled to look into the matter to any great degree. They never thought it much concerned them. They have been too concentrated on thinking about our relationship with the Roman church.

This represents a pattern that has become all to familiar in our history, the hijacking of an idea and then the defamation of its originators so that the hijacker could claim sole credit. The church did the same to us with its adoption of the concept of the trinity. But then they twisted it into something we never intended and threw it back in our faces as if it was theirs thinking we wouldn't know it.

It doesn't suprise me in the least. The Greeks and Romans hijacked the idea of Yeshua and added all sorts of their own ideas to him and threw him back into the faces of the Rabbinal authorities and the Jewish people. From our point of view, the entirety of the New Testament that came out of the work of Nicea was written to discredit and defame the Jews so that Rome could claim primacy without any questioning of that claim. Paul said one thing that should have given the whole matter away when he claimed to be a Roman ctizen. Every one knows that you couldn't be a Roman citizen without declairing alegience to Caesar which meant, at that time, declairing Caesar to be a god. Caesar had long claimed to be god and a son of a god. The same claim that was put forth about Yeshua. A claim which the Jews would not and could not accept under any circumstances.
