The Original Jewish Faith of The Nazareans
There is:
One Body, and One Spirit, even as you are called in One Hope of your calling;
One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One G-d and Father of all,
who is above all, and through all, and in all.
Ephesians 4:4-6
A Prayer:
Our Dear Heavenly Father,
Strengthen us to walk worthy of the holy calling with which you have called us,
to walk in humility and meekness, in patience and forbearance, and in Love for One Another,
Endeavoring to Guard The Unity of Your Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:1-3
Through The Accomplishments of Yeshua ben David's Ministry
On Behalf of The House of Judah, The House of Israel, and All Nations
All have access to The Father
By the means of His Holy Spirit (His Holy Inspiration)
Ephesians 2:18
*****************************************************
There is One True El-o-him (G-d) - The G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Hear O Israel, The LORD is Our El-o-him, The LORD is One. He is One Person. He is Infinite, Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, Indivisible, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and glory for ever and ever. For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to Whom be glory for ever. Amen. Deut 6:5 ; 1 Tim 6:16 ; Rom 11:36 He is called El Shaddai - The Almighty. He is El Elyon - The Most High. He is Lord of Heaven and Earth. To Him alone do we pray. He created multitudes of beings that we generally call in English, angels or messengers. There is rank and function among those invisible messengers He created. There is one known as "The Angel of G-d", who appeared to Abraham along with two other angels (Genesis 18). This Chief Angel (Hebrew - Malak) is an agent of G-d, who personally interacted with Abraham and others on His behalf. The Chief Messenger carries G-d's name and delegated authority with him. He is not Yah-u-weh; However, he does speaks on His behalf, as if he were Him. One should study the Jewish law of agency to correctly understand this. (It is a plausible interpretation and is not idolatrous to believe that the higher soul [Hebrew: the nashamah] of this Messenger became the nashamah of His Majesty, Yeshua ben David at his conception - if we understand that every human conception has 3 parts - the seed of a man, the egg of a woman, and the nashamah from G-d.) There is One Lord Mashiach whose name is Rabbi Yeshua of Nazareth, the Son of David. It is Through Him that we are reconciled with Our One El-o-him (G-d) and Father. He is a man (1Timothy 2:5; Acts 2:22, 38; Ro 5:15), who was Exalted and Anointed as King and High Priest of Israel and All Nations. He and His accomplishments were foreknown in the mind of El-o-him before Creation and was foretold through the Prophetic Scriptures. He was conceived and born to Yoseph and Miriam: He of the Seed of King David and his son Solomon (2 Sam 7:12; Lk 1:32 ; Rom 1:3 ; Acts 2:30 ; 13:23). He learned obedience, (Lk 2:40 ; Heb 5:8), lived sinless, (2 Cor 5:21 ; Heb 4:15 ; 1Jn 3:5), and died for our sins, (Is 53 ; 1 Pet 1:19). He was buried and arose on the third day, (1 Cor 15:1-7 ; Lk 22 - 24 ; 2Tim 2:8), and is The First Begotten from the dead, (Acts 13:33 ; Col 1:18 ; Rev 1:5) - The Royal Head of the New Creation, (2 Cor 5:17 ; Col 1:18). He was seen by Kepha, and then, by the Twelve Apostles, by Yacov his brother, the Apostle Sha'ul, and then, by hundreds more who later fell asleep in death (1 Cor 15:1-7 ; Lk 22 - 24). He ascended to the Right Hand of El-o-him, (Ps 110:1 ; Acts 2:33). Since then, He continues to visibly reveal Himself to many. He will return to Jerusalem (Is 2:2 ; Acts 3:21, 24) in the Glory and Power of His Father and of the Holy Angels. He will Resurrect the dead saints (or, some of them), Quicken the living saints (at least, some of them), and establish His Visible Kingship over all the earth, (Lk 9:26; 1 Thess 1:7-10 ; 4:13-17 ; Lk 19:12 ; 22:29, 30). After a literal or symbolic 1000 years, there will be a final Judgment followed by a new heaven and a new earth. The wicked will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire. The righteous will have immortality with rewards commensurate to their faith-filled works. There is One Faith Throughout the Scriptures, though there were many writers of the Scriptures. There is a coherent and consistent belief system taken from the Scriptures. But you continue in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them; And that from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures [The Law, the Prophets, & the Writings], which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Messiah Yeshua [Testified of in The Messianic Scriptures]. All scripture is given by inspiration of El-o-him, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of El-o-him (G-d) may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2Timothy 3:14-17 2nd of Letter of Paul to Timothy - Teacher to Ephesus From Adam to Noah, from Melchizedek to Abram, from Abraham to Moses, from Joshua to King David, from Daniel to Yeshua to Paul to Timothy; There is One coherent and consistent Faith. This is a belief system that does show the evidence of 'developmental change' like a seed that develops into a tree, but never an annulment of the ancient commandments - Not until 'heaven and earth passes away', according to Rabbi Yeshua of Nazareth. Faith, belief, trust without works is dead. Faith and obedience-works are like water and wet. You cannot have one without the other. Living Faith produces Living Works. Dead Faith produces Dead Works. Through Faith, the Elders obeyed (Hebrews 11). Through unbelief, rebels disobey. The evidence of unbelief is apathy and disobedience. Rabbi Yeshua of Nazareth taught us that a tree is known by the fruit it bears. The Infinite One is a perfectly just and merciful Judge, who will judge and reward each person according to his/her Works whether they are good or bad. Faith in the heart is a good work itself. There is One Baptism of Water, yet many who administer it. If possible, it is to be administered/witnessed by others in the name/authority of Yeshua Mashiach. One should call upon El-o-him the Father, in prayer. The Roman Catholic Trinitarian Formula, which was edited into the text of Matthew 28, should not to be used. Throughout the Book of Acts, people were baptized in the name of The Lord Yeshua Mashiach of Nazareth. There a variety of modes of Water Baptism in scripture: Immersion, Sprinkling, and Pouring. The mode which is used is not as important as the faith and repentance preceding the Baptism. We normally pray with and witness the person's self-immersion in a body of water and upon their rising out of the water, we Pour water on them as a sign of cleansing and Holy Spirit Baptism from Heaven. In some settings, such as a prison, a hospital, or a nursing home, it is permissible to baptize in the mode of Sprinkling or Pouring Water on the head. There are other regular Mikvaot/Baptisms taught in Scripture, which are to be observed by men and women. There is One Body of Israel called by a variety of titles, but in essence it is The Assembly of El-o-him and His Mashiach. And there are many members to this body. Yeshua is the Head of the body of Israel, which includes those from the Nations who believe, repent, and do works worthy of repentance. The Angels will separate the true from the false in The End. El-o-him knows those who are His. There is One Spirit of G-d, which proceeds into the universe, yet there are various giftings upon people: The Spirit is The Inspiration and Power of El-o-him, by which, The Chosen are Called unto Faith, Repentance and Water Baptism; Forgiven of Sin, Separated unto Obedience in The Way of Righteousness, then, Spirit Baptized, Sealed, Filled, Gifted, and Enabled to Persevere in "The Way." There is One Hope of our One Calling: That we may be holy and blameless, bringing glory and honor unto Our Father through The Ministry of Our Lord Yeshua, and inherit Everlasting Life in the coming Resurrection. ************************************************There is Only One G-d
:The El-o-him of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob (Israel)
The Lord of Heaven & Earth
And, There is Only One Mediator,
[A Mediator is one that reconciles differences between adversaries and/or establishes a covenant on the behalf of others...this was first done by Adam, and then, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David...This never meant that one was to pray to them as intermediary's...neither does it mean any such thing in regard to Yeshua of Nazareth, who is the Mediator of the Renewal of The Everlasting Covenant...We do not pray to Yeshua]
Who was ordained to return us and reconcile us to Our Creator.
He is the Promised Messiah; The First Man to be Resurrected into Immortality; the Firstborn from the dead,
≈ Our Lord Yeshua ben Joseph ben David, The Mashiach from Nazareth ≈
Through Him and His Ongoing Ministry, we have been reconciled to
Our Heavenly Father
, who is The Infinite and Everlasting LORD of Heaven & Earth.Whether or not they are aware of it or even acknowledge it, Jew & Gentile alike, all experience the benefits of all that has been, is being, and will be procured through The Mashiach's Ministry. His Dual-Roles as
(1) Yeshua ben Yoseph - the suffering servant - The Lamb of G-d
(2) Yeshua ben David - the conquering servant - The Lion of The Tribe of Judah
are for the benefit of the Jew, the Ephraimite, and Gentile alike - indeed the whole world who repents and returns to G-d.
Many Jews will be shocked!!! when they realize who is behind the curtain in the Holy of Holies (in Heaven) ministering as High Priest to G-d as Psalm 110 proclaims. Many Christians will be shocked when they are rebuked for miss-representing him as part of a pagan Trinity who abrogated The Torah and sought to nullify His Everlasting Covenants.
******************************************************
Yeshua Mashiach is The Chief Cornerstone In The LORD's House 1) We are Monotheist, also called Unitarian - It is True Biblical Oneness - That means that We Believe that the Scriptures and the Netsarim Testimony (which contains the Re-New-ed Covenant) teaches that The LORD, The El-o-him of Avraham, Isaac, and Ya'acov, Our Heavenly Father, is One Person. He is One Infinite Indivisible Unchangeable Person (A Unity) - NOT a Modality, Duality, or Trinity of any sort. 2) Like all Jews, we believe in a coming Messiah. We Believe that Yeshua of Natsareth is The Mashiach (The Messiah - The Christ). He is The Chosen & Anointed One, The First Begotten Son or The First Resurrected Son From The Dead) - But, he is NOT G-d. He is the biological son of Yoseph and his wife Miriam; He is the Son of David, and Son of Abraham. He is The Son of G-d - in the Scriptural Sense - but, not the imported pagan sense espoused by Roman Catholics and Protestants. 3) We Promote Trust In and Obedience To The Bible; The Law & The Prophets. We hold to the The Original Netsarim Testimony. Their Testimony teaches us that The Law - The Torah - is still "The Way" we are to walk, as much as is possible in our present exilic condition. 4) We Promote The Baptism of the holy spirit, which is a joyful and awe inspiring experience of El-o-him's Presence, which normally follows Faith & Repentance, Baptism and Prayer. It was promised and experienced by The Prophets and the Israeli people, including Geirim and proselytes - that is, people Ingrafted from other Nations. 5) We Believe that many of us are, biologically, part of the exiled Northern House of Israel. Faith and repentance begins the process of returning to Our Land, The Land of Israel and The Everlasting Covenant attached to it, as the prophets have foretold. Yet, all nations are invited to turn to G-d and be delivered from sin and its penalties.We believe in the Good News of
The El-o-him (G-d) and Father of Isra'el - Yah-u-weh, The Lord of Hosts,
which is proclaimed throughout The Sacred Hebrew Scriptures and by
Our Lord, Yeshua ben Joseph, The Mashiach from Nazareth, Israel.
