Dougg,
If Rabbis made an effort to influence world Jewry to distance themselves from early church-father teachings which you admit to be heretical, how can you fault them? Looks to me that if you could go back in time, you'd side with the Rabbis against every historical christian whose articulated beliefs survived throughout history. Your thoughts?
