Yes, Pagan Romans wanted to hijack the apostles teachings and institutionalize it, as "The Way" following way quite revolutionary in it's understanding of law and love. Before they institutionalized it, they murdered plenty of "The Way" followers.

Then the Jesuits came along and corrupted Catholicism a lot further with their neo-platonism etc...

LaRouche says that... Reach Christopher Hollis books on the Jesuits. Again, there were two orders opposed to each other who took the name of the Jesuits. Both were corrupt. Today, the US is new Rome and the synagogue of Satan and Noahide Freemasons are at the helm.

I honestly don't get why so much people place so much value in the Christian and Jewish holy books.

Because Christianity is what PAGANS called persons who followed Yeshua. Again, read Yeshua's words ONLY, clearly the old covanant is over and the new covanent of preaching "The Way" and following Christ is the creators doing. Yeshua said to turn the other cheek.

Because Yeshua's words are the truth, period.
