Why is that connected to "There was a "mad scramble", by the Jews, in the 1st century, to hide the facts"?
The "religious leadership" greatly feared losing their "jobs", as there were so many fellow
Jews that were embracing
Yeshua as the "lamb of God". They quickly
regained their "right", from the Romans, to public executions by stoning other
Jews.
Perhaps this information has been hidden from you? Perhaps you know others that have "entrusted" their eternal destiny to the "rabbis"?
