30. Hmmm...

Jesus challenged the religious, social, and political structures of his time with his preaching that God's new reality of radical inclusion of everyone (especially the least of these) was in-breaking here and now.

Did the Jesuits bother to note hat the inclusion of Gentiles into the new faith occurred after the death of Jesus? In other words, they were not being entirely honest. Paul did that. The original faith was for Jews only.

Yes, they did I was going for a very high-level summary..

Whatever indeed. Caught in a flat out obvious contradiction, whatever is the only possible response, eh?
