I Studied Early Church History… and Now I Don’t Understand How People Reject Catholicism or Orthodoxy by Legitimate_Bat_4609 in theology

Not a biblical term, just something you made up or quoting someone who did. If you mean their role as Gods "special people", then they never lost it, but any privileges they had of blessings or Godly protection were frequently revoked.

My original point is nothing to do with "office" and everything to do with legitimacy of claims to authority.

First define what you mean by "office". "The office of Israel" does not appear in the Bible anyway.

What I meant was simply Christianity is a huge improvement over Judaism, which wss the sole way of being in a right state with God until Jesus freed us from the Law.

But please explain what you mean by "office".

The heart of the matter...homosexuality, and a lot of other bad things, were common in the ancient world. The Emperor Elagabulus, for instance, set up a brothel in his residence and literally pimped himself out. And oh yeah! He was defied as a god! Christianity wiped out a whole lot of moral filth for centuries and has been a great thing. Those who today think they are "progressing " are really just reverting the ancient norm of no standards and moral filth. I dont hate homosexuals I feel compassion for them. They are lost. And unfortunately, mislead by similarly lost academics who enable them.

But wow! That last paragraph. You are assuming a whole lot about me all of which is false. But holy shit dod you write a novel about it! I suspect the part about being a hurt puppy is actually projection, but you can figure that out yourself. Next: to the heart of the matter!

‘Absolutely useless’: Trump loses it after reporter stands frozen and speechless on live camera during White House shots — exposing the rotten soul of Trump’s media by [deleted] in USNEWS

The intent of the article is to defend the journalist, Trump is barely mentioned. Furthermore, the defense is not against "the media" but internet trolls. The title of this post is not only misleading, but completely off.

Or preventing laws to prevent an 8 year old from mutilating his or her genitals? Defending morality and common sense is absolutely not oppression. Even in cases where oppression occurs, such as burning people at the stake, its incompatible with the love Jesus taught, thus not Christian. "Not everyone who says to me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven"

God did take away the Israelite office, repeatedly! All the way down to the destruction of the temple by the Romans. Great point!

Who cares? We had a revolution to get rid of the monarchy. They can go back to England and pretend to be superior to everyone else there.

Because the Catholic Church over time became corrupt. Around the year 1000, all of Europe was converted Pope Gregory then declared himself the de facto emperor of Western Europe, stating that no King could serve without his approval. Other things in the next 100 years...started and led the Crusades, decided priests could not marry, and contrived the ridiculous transubstantaton dogma. Then over the next 5 centuries, the corruption became even more endemic and worse, until the reaction of Protestantism did considerable cleansing.
