When Paul was arrested by the Romans, he told them of course that he too was a Roman, and not a slave. And when he wrote to the church in Philippians, who were majorly a jewish community of Christians, he told them he too was one of them, a Jew.
I am not sure I quite follow your meaning, please. I am not certain what "Christian leaders" today you seek to compare with and why.

The Jewish demonised Christ and his followers because they went against their establish teachings. The Christians leaders(and other religion leaders) are threatening people with hell for going against their own teachings. So again my question what's the difference between what the Jews did and what Christian leaders of today are doing?

Oh that!
Well, here's the thing, first of all, Jesus Christ instructed His followers against setting themselves up in positions of authority/leadership, so their teachings are doctrines of men and not the teachings of Jesus Christ to begin with.

Matthew 20 vs 24-28 (ESV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24. The other ten followers heard this and were angry with the two brothers.
25. So Jesus called the followers together. He said, “You know that the rulers of the non-Jewish people love to show their power over the people. And their important leaders love to use all their authority over the people.
26. But it should not be that way with you. Whoever wants to be your leader must be your servant.
27. Whoever wants to be first must serve the rest of you like a slave.
28. Do as I did: The Son of Man did not come for people to serve him. He came to serve others and to give his life to save many people.”

Now, as far as Hell is concerned, that is a domain that is ruled over by Jesus Christ and no man can condemn another to Hell. Each man is condemned by his own actions against the Word of God. So, that too...
Difference between the old Jewish leaders and the current "Christian leaders"... no clue.

But hell wasn't mentioned in the scripture you quoted.

Did you read the people who are going into everlasting punishment vs 44-45

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

This is my question to you. With the above requirement, do you think any Christians in Nigeria will qualify to get to heaven?
