messianic.nazirene.orgThe Way of Yeshua and the Messianic Nazirene Disciple

Welcome To Light of Yeshua.org The Way of Yeshua and the journey of the Messianic Nazirene Nazirene means: "the keeper of the way" This web site is about discipleship -- becoming the Bride of Messiah and entering into an intimate relationship with the Son of God -- Only A True Messianic Disciple can learn the Mysteries of Creation directly from the One Teacher. The Disciple of The Way inherits the Promise of the Lord: "But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren" (Mt 23:8) -- the Disciple learns directly from The Logos/Son Of God upon entering the Temple within. The Essence of TheWay Yeshua/Jesus did not come to promote belief in the Messiah/Christ - neither did he come to promote the worship of Messiah/Christ - Yeshua came to teach the people TheWay to become Messiah/Christ, and fulfill the vision of a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation of Anointed (Messiah/Christ) Disciples who are set aside for the service of the Most High God that Yeshua taught was the Father of all of mankind. But the majority of the Roman and Greek followers who were too Pagan to embrace the teachings of Yeshua, were not interested in a life of genuine change and spiritual transformation, so they made Jesus their God so they didn't have to pick up their own cross and follow in TheWay. Thus, the Church itself betrayed and crucified Messiah/Christ when it immersed itself in the way of the heathen, and worshiped the messenger instead of imitating the pattern and example that Yeshua set as the required standard for all those who called upon the name of the Lord. The Good News is that once you understand and are willing to live in accordance with the Original teachings of the New Covenant, the Promise is that you will Know the Truth for yourself as you are permitted entrance into the Kingdom within you (Lk 17:20-21). While it is claimed that believers are saved by faith in Yeshua The path of the disciple is for those who Surrender to the Light and desire a life of total and complete intimacy with the Son of God. For the Messianic Believer, these are truly confusing times! With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls we now know conclusively that Yeshua was very Jewish in his teachings. Further, the original Gospels which were corrupted by the Gentile Church, did not state that Yeshua was God -- but more correctly, that Yeshua was a holy man who lived the necessary Consecrated Life and became the Final Temple -- and this fact is easily proven in the article The Ten Words . The problem is that the Christians have a great deal of money and political power invested in the doctrine of the Trinity which was adopted from the Pagan roots of Rome, and regardless of the proof and evidence that is shown to them that the original Ebionite Nazirene disciples and followers of Jesus were right -- and their positions were totally supported by the original Gospel accounts -- the vast majority of Christians are too anchored by their pagan system of beliefs to open their eyes to the Truth. And because of this great investment of blind faith, time and money, the Christians continue to believe their manmade dogma regardless of what the Bible states with respect to the spiritual apostasy of their dogma (see The Lie ). How could they even begin to admit that the very heart of their dogma is factually wrong -- and that while the original Yeshua is the Truth, the salvation that they have been peddling is basically a fraud. How can they even begin to come to terms with the reality that as believers, the people were supposed to follow in the footsteps of the man Yeshua, and not remain immersed in the thinking and lifestyle of this world while calling upon God only with their lips? Y eshua condemned the Pharisees as counterfeit spiritual leaders, because they threw away the Key of Knowledge . In like manner, the Church under the rulership of Pagan Rome, also threw away the Key of Knowledge -- the proper application of which, has the ability to unlock the "narrow strait gate" within the seeker/disciple, and open the inner door to the Kingdom. And while this is very clearly stated in the Gospels, the Christian Church ignores its far reaching implications, because it is impossible to support their pagan dogma in light of what Yeshua stated and taught. And because the teachings on the Key of Knowledge has been suppressed, this places modern Messianic and Nazarene Jews at a great disadvantage -- i.e., while it is easily seen that Christianity has been gravely influenced by its pagan past, to simply return to the way of the Pharisees would be a grave mistake. Which means that the modern seeker/disciple must rise above the error of both the Christians and the Jews -- promote the proper use of the Key of Knowledge -- live the Consecrated Life in TheWay which transforms the person into the Final Temple -- and fulfill one of the primary objectives of the Gospel which was to learn the Truth directly from God through what the original disciples called The True Prophet . A Most Important Thought For All Jews and Messianic Jews To Contemplate! Many Messianic Jews attempt to embrace traditional Christian doctrine with a Jewish facade in an attempt to convert other Jews to a quasi-form of Jewish-Christianity with a Pagan foundation. In view of the fact that the original followers of Yeshua are historically described as “ rejected from one religion as apostates, and from the other as heretics” (Gibbon: Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire, v.1, p.416), this conversion to Jewish-Christianity would be a grave error. I have often heard it expressed by both Messianics and Christians that only Paul understood the teachings of Yeshua, and his disciples were too Jewish. Yet, it is correctly pointed out by Prof. Hyam Maccoby in The Mythmaker: Paul and the Invention of Christianity (see abstract ), that: "The Ebionites are thus by no means a negligible or derisory group. Their claim to represent the original teaching of Jesus has to be taken seriously. It is quite wrong, therefore, to dismiss what they had to say about Paul as unworthy of attention." Prof. Maccoby then writes: "Consequently, if the Gospel of Matthew contains assertions by Jesus about the validity of the Torah, this is strong evidence that Jesus actually made these assertions, for only a persistent and unquenchable tradition that Jesus said these things would have induced the author of the Gospel to include such recalcitrant material, going against the grain of his own narrative and standpoint. If Jesus himself was an adherent of the Torah, there was no need for re-Judaization on the part of the Nazarenes in Jerusalem, who were simply continuing the attitudes of Jesus. But, in any case, several scholars have now come to think that the loyalty of the Jerusalem movement to the Torah is itself strong evidence that Jesus was similarly loyal. It is, after all, implausible, to say the least, that the close followers of Jesus, his companions during his lifetime, led by his brother, should have so misunderstood him that they reversed his views immediately after his death. The 'stupidity' motif characterizing the disciples in the Gospels is best understood as a Pauline attempt to explain away the attachment of the 'Jerusalem Church' to Judaism, rather than as historical obtuseness." In the case of Matthew which was rejected by Martin Luther as the most Jewish of the Gospels, Matthew himself was a tax collector -- a secular-minded outcast from the Judaism of his day. So his many Gospel statements which pertained to the observance of the Law and the requirement that the followers of Yeshua were required to keep the Law to a higher perfected level than was practiced by the Pharisees, can only be attributed to the direct influence of the historical Yeshua and the original teachings of TheWay. This keeping of the Spiritual Law becomes perfectly clear when it is understood that the followers of Yeshua believed that he "...was ju...
