If these things are true, what are we to do?

Also those jews, who say they are jews but sit in the synagogue of satan. Are they the real deal. With that pale, white skin? No. I don't think so. It is what it is. They worshiped many gods. It is a sad shame to steal the identity of another people and take it on as your own. African-americans were the only people who came over on ships with iron yokes around their necks to be sold. Not those false chosen jews.

I believed this at one point until I found our about Kemet. That is Ancient Egypt. And found out where this stories really originated from.

@revoltingtomato The Scriptures need to be understood as a product of the Church's tradition. There are written traditions, those of which are most highly revered are Scripture, and there are oral traditions, unwritten teachings passed from generation to generation. In both cases, any personal interaction with these sources must be done through the prism of the Church.

The Catholic Church does not dismiss its Jewish heritage. The Eucharist is a commemoration of the Passover meal. Rather than denigrating the Passover, this meal takes on a new dimension in light of the Jesus' Last Supper and institution of the Sacrament of Communion.

Your ignorance is appalling, simply read the early Apostolic Fathers (Justin Martyr, Polycarp, Ignatius, Irenaeus for example), you will see that the Catholic Church's Gospel is the same as the one preached by Christ.

The term Catholic means universal, and it was first used by Ignatius of Antioch in his letter to the Smyrnaeans in AD 110. As Christians began to seek a more systematic theology, various heresies emerged, particularly in regards to the nature of Christ. Ignatius used the term Catholic to mean that he was a part of the universal Church in contrast to these heretical sects. Ignatius himself was a student of the Apostle John.

This is an absolute joke. Yes, the original followers of Christ were predominantly Jewish, however they were receptive to Gentiles as well (see Acts 15 Council of Jerusalem). The Christians were expelled from the Jewish communities, as being a heretical fringe sect, in part for associating with Gentiles who did not uphold the Mosaic law.
