If the Jews are God's favorites, I'd hate to see God's unfavorites.
God is dumping Catholics in favor of Evangelical Protestants.
 
The Roman Catholic Church adds works to salvation. It denies that we are justified by faith alone in Christ alone. It adds sacraments (CCC 1129), baptism (CCC 1257), penance (CCC 980), and the works of the Law (commandments) as necessary for salvation (CCC 2068, 2036, 2070). The Bible teaches that keeping the commandments is not necessary for salvation (Romans 3:28, 4:5, Gal. 2:16, 21) and is to be avoided (Gal. 5:1-5). Otherwise, what Paul says in Romans 4:5 wouldn’t be true, “But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.”
The Roman Catholic Church preaches a false gospel.

God had a choice of all the religions in the world.

He said….I want my son raised a Jew

What's the harm? If you believe in God why not lead a Christian life?
 
The attitude of Catholic popes and bishops of Martin Luther days brings to my mind the Pharisees and Sadducees at the time we were presented the gift of Jesus. Leads me to believe of some divine intervention when comes to Johannes Gutenberg's invention of the movable-type printing press.

Yes, and Catholic/Orthodox beliefs may be more strongly rooted in Jewish beliefs and insights. Purgatory is one, and the way Catholics/Orthodox view salvation may well be another.

^ That is SO opposite of the truth, it's mind-blowing to me that anyone could actually say that with a straight face.

Once Rome took over, there was a move away from the Hebraic roots of Christianity, and numerous pagan practices were added to it. And it went downhill from there. Thankfully, Christians who care about the actual truth historically have pointed out all the additions and the false doctrines, but some people seem to prefer the Greco-Roman version of Christianity rather than the original Christianity practiced by Jesus and His earliest followers.

Most of modern "Christianity" wouldn't recognize or approve of the real Jesus or His apostles.

Catholics believe they have the authority to change the meaning of scripture.
Protestants do not claim such authority. From there comes most of the other differences.

Every religion on earth claiming to be Christian and using the translations with Gods name removed in over 7000 places by satans will, against Gods will, are being mislead in darkness.
There is 0 doubt about that.

You don't believe Jews believe in a one year purification after death? You don't believe there is any foundation for this Maccabees? You don't believe that Jews feel God's commands are to help people fully live life on earth, and less about any possible afterlife?
 
Most 'Protestants' remained 'Catholic', they just quit letting Rome extort them for cash, is all. Lutherans and Anglicans remained pretty much Catholic in their rites and church organizations. Only the Calvinists were 'radicals' in that regard. the Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, etc. were all more accurately 'anti-Protestant Protestants', rejecting Anglicism and Lutheranism, and most of Calvinism, too. Whitefield, Tennent, and Davenport's revivals in England and the U.S. further deepened the schism with the European flavors of Christianity and played a role in the Revolution and rejected the ruling class bullshit that dominated Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox and its offspring.

Most post-Ezra Babylonian inventions are made up nonsense, not really consistent with the Hebrewism of Moses and the written Torah. It was just Babylonians using their influence with Cyrus to set themselves up as a 'master race' and excluding Jews who weren't exiled from any role in the temple state financed by Persia. Jesus was a reformer rejecting all that Babylonian rubbish and returning to the original religion.
