They allowed Jews who were not true Jews <ref>[[Re 2:9]] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.</ref> <ref>[[Re 3:9]] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.</ref> to teach the church falsehoods about the Hebrew scriptures. They told the Gentile church that the Hebrew language has no vowels, yet confess to themselves that God is spirit because his name Yahweh is composed of vowels. They taught the Greeks that Moses wrote Genesis rather than their own confession that Hebrew is the language of God and was preserved through writings of the Fathers, passed from father to son. They taught the Greeks that the atomic level of meaning in Hebrew was the three letter root, while holding to the belief that the strokes of letter have metaphoric meaning which combine to form the metaphor of the letters which combine in two-letter 'gates' and that the meaning of words are derived from the combined metaphors of the letter and gates.

They had adopted the doctrine of Balaam, compromising with the world and paganism.<ref>[[Re 2:14]] But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.</ref>

The Judaisers re-instituted dietary restrictions as a new form of the Jewish law. <ref>"The Christian tradition of fasts and abstinence developed from Old Testament practices," https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_and_abstinence_in_the_Roman_Catholic_Church</ref> The Jewish sacrifices were modified into the mass where Christ is crucified again and again, significantly symbolizing that their Christ cannot save permanently. (Heb 10:2-4 nor can the repeated bloodless sacrifice of bread cleanse from sin)<ref>"In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner." http://www.ncregister.com/blog/jimmy-akin/are-we-re-crucifying-jesus-in-the-mass</ref>

By around 400 AD Augustine and Constantine had rid the church of anything that was truly Hebrew. Augustine even claimed that the Septuagint was more reliable than the original Hebrew. This translation to Greek hides the rich mystery of the gospel hidden in the Hebrew language and scriptures.

We have been taught to read the Bible literally... and we may, since the literal contains sufficient information for salvation. But is also has a spiritual layer written in prophetic riddle, which can be deciphered in a way which can be validated and verified.
