“They” are at work in every Age. Who are “they”?
The Book of Mark names four Protestant groups. They included Pharisees, Herodians, Pharisees, and Scribes. We see that “Elders” and “chief priests” are among them in 8:31.
Catholics are smart enough to see! A powerful and unspecified group of early Protestants is identified only as “they”. (emphasis added)
“they” are first mentioned in Mark 3:2. “they were watching Him . . looking for something to use against Him . .”
Question 1. “Why were ‘they’ watching‘?”
The Bible’s answer: “they” wanted to see if He would do the work of curing the man with a withered hand on the Sabbath.

Question 2. What did “they” do after Jesus cured the man?
The answer is in Mark 3:6. “The Pharisees went out and at once began to plot with the Herodians against Him, discussing how to destroy Him.”
We see who “they” are! Those in the “they” are The Executive Committee of the highest level God-haters!
~
Question 3. “What did Jesus tell us about the chosen nature of such people?”
The answer is in Mark 4:12. “They may see, and see again, but not perceive; (they) may hear and hear again, but not understand; otherwise they might be converted and be forgiven.”

Question 4. “May we reasonably conclude that God despises those in the ‘they’ so much that He does not want their souls in Heaven?
My answer: “‘Yes.’ is the only rational answer.” ___.
~
Question 5. What did The Executive Committee of God-haters have the power to do?
Mark 12:13-17 answers! “And they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to entrap Him in His talk . . “
The unnamed “they“ in The Executive Committee of God-haters had the power to command lower-level Pharisees and Herodians to “try to entrap” Jesus!

Question 6. “Do I realize that every attack on The Only Church Spoken Into Being by This Word of Jesus Christ: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.” is ordered by The Executive Committee of those who hate greater obedience to God than theirs in every age?”
My answer: “The only logical answer must be ‘Yes’.” ___.
