Introduction:

Coming to Torah Observant Faith is a life changing experience. When you choose to surrender fully to hashem, and live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of hashem, you will feel a change inside you. The commandments are a blessing, and are easy and light. They are not to hard for you Deuteronomy 30:11. When you do all of the things hashem commands, when he commands you to do them, where he commands you to do them, how he commands you to do them; you and your family will be blessed! The blessings in the bible are dependant on torah observance. When you keep torah, you unlock the blessings in your life and in the lives of others! You become a partner with Hashem, and help people experience heaven on earth today! His kingdom come, his will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven! The opposite of his will, is sin, that is the transgression of Torah. 1 John 3:4.

Ultra Orthadox Nazarene Judaism is NOT protestant or catholic, and it technically is not the same as Messianic Judaism. As you will read and see below, Nazarene Judaism is what yeshua the nazarene and paul taught Acts 24:1-5, Matthew 2:23, and Nazarene Judaism pre-dates / comes before the Catholicism, Marcionism, and Protestant faiths. History shows that the later faiths of Catholicism, Marcionism, Protestant faiths, and others, rejected the faith of Nazarene Judaism yeshua and his disciples taught. Ultra Orthadox is strict. Women cover their heads Isaiah 47:1-3, Leviticus 18 (not using wigs), Men have beards, and wear tiziot. We do not mix dairy and meat. We strive to keep all of the instructions in the entire bible. Failure to try to obey all the instructions in the bible, is a failure to repent from the transgression of torah. Sin is the transgression of the torah, and unless we repent from the transgression of the torah, we will not be saved. Abraham was saved by faith, and it is faith that saves, but obedience is repentance, and repentance is requried. Later faiths that came after Nazarene Judaism teach that salvation and justification are by faith alone. James wrote that it is not by faith alone that a man is justified, but also by his works, and that faith without works is dead. Torah prohibits making sacrifices without the temple in yerusalem and without the levitical preisthood; so critics can not say that anyone must make sacrifices without a temple. Some still kill the passover lamb in jerusalem inside the gates and eat it, as these passages of the torah do not talk about the temple or preists slaughtering the passover lamb.

Question: Did Jesus teach Nazarene Judaism or the later Protestant and Catholic Christianity? https://copilot.microsoft.com/shares/HocJAEf149y5WckNtqcyT

Microsoft Copilot Answered:

“Jesus taught within the framework of **first-century Judaism**, and what we now call **Nazarene Judaism** is likely the closest historical reflection of his teachings during his lifetime.

### Jesus and Nazarene Judaism
– Jesus was a **Jewish rabbi** who observed Torah law, celebrated Jewish festivals, and taught in synagogues. (reference)
– His teachings emphasized **ethical living, repentance, and the coming Kingdom of God**, all rooted in Jewish tradition.
– His earliest followers—like James and Peter—continued to observe Jewish customs while believing Jesus was the Messiah. (reference)

### ✝️ Christianity’s Evolution
– **Catholicism and Protestantism** developed centuries later:
– **Catholicism** emerged as the institutional form of (false Christianity) Christianity, formalized through councils and creeds starting in the 4th century. (reference) (Not from copilot: dogmaism δόγμασιν g1378 dogma man made religion not originating from jesus christEphesians 2:15, Colossians 2:14, Matthew 15:9. Used in Luke 2:1, Acts 17:7… as a decree from ceaser, not a decree from jesus christ. https://biblehub.com/greek/1378.htm Elsewhere it also refers to man made extra biblical laws. Ephesians 2:15 and Colossians 2:14 say that these were abolished on the cross, but the torah was not abolished. Matthew 5:17)
– **Protestantism** began in the 16th century as a reform movement against certain Catholic doctrines.
– These later forms of Christianity (Protastants and Catholics) reflect theological developments that go **beyond what Jesus directly taught**, incorporating interpretations by church fathers, theologians, and reformers.

### So What Did Jesus Actually Teach?
He didn’t teach Catholicism or Protestantism as we know them today. He taught a **Jewish message of renewal**, centered on love, justice, and spiritual transformation. His followers later interpreted and expanded that message into distinct religious traditions.

If you’re curious, we can explore how different denominations interpret Jesus’s teachings today—or dive into how modern Nazarene groups try to revive his original message.”

Microsoft Copilot “Think Deeper” answer: https://copilot.microsoft.com/shares/krChSF8WM8nR7R5BRh3p6

“# Jesus and His Original Teaching

Jesus of Nazareth taught as a Jewish rabbi in first-century Palestine, so his message aligns with what scholars call **Nazarene Judaism** rather than any later Christian (Protastant and Catholic) denominations.

—

## 1. Teaching Within Jewish Tradition

Jesus…

– Observed Torah commandments (Sabbath, festivals, dietary laws)
– Taught in synagogues using Hebrew Scriptures
– Spoke Aramaic, rooted his parables in Jewish life and prophecy

His followers saw him as the fulfillment of Jewish messianic hopes, not as the founder of a brand-new religion.

—

## 2. Emergence of Catholic Christianity

Centuries after Jesus:

– The church (Protastants and Catholics) formalized hierarchy (bishops, councils)
– Key doctrines (Trinity, Christ’s divinity) were defined at ecumenical councils (e.g., Nicaea, 325 CE)
– Latin became liturgical language; Roman structure shaped “Catholic” identity

These developments build on Jesus’s message but reflect post-biblical theological debates.

—

## 3. Rise of Protestant Christianity (faith)

In the 16th century, Reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin:

– Challenged Catholic authority and practices
– Emphasized salvation by faith alone, scripture alone
– Created new denominations (Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican)

Protestantism further diverged from both Jesus’s Jewish context and early Nazarene practice.

(Protastants and Catholics tried to replace Christianity. Protastants and Catholics tried to replace Nazarene Judaism)

—

## 4. Why Jesus Didn’t Teach Protestant or Catholic Forms

– The organizational structures, creeds, and liturgies of later churches were **absent** in his day.
– His focus was on **kingdom ethics** (love, justice, mercy) within Judaism.
– Early believers naturally followed Jewish norms; only **after** Gentile expansion did distinct Christian (Catholic and Protestant) identities emerge.

Historical References to Nazarene Judaism

1. New Testament Reference Acts 24:1-5,
2. Epiphanius of Salamis (4th century) the Nazarenes in his Panarion, highlighting their continued observance of the Torah and distinguishing them from Gentile Catholics, It also mentions that they read the gospel of Matthew in Hebrew. 
3. Jerome (4th–5th century) mentions the Nazarenes in his anti-Pelagian and polemical works, noting their use of an Aramaic Gospel (the Gospel of the Hebrews),
4. Augustine of Hippo (5th century) refers to Jewish Christian sects, including the Nazarenes, when discussing heresies and divergent Christian practices,  
5. Hippolytus of Rome (early 3rd century) contrasts the Nazarenes with the Ebionites, observing that Nazarenes bound Mosaic law to Jews by birth, unlike Ebionites who applied it to all converts,
6. Eusebius of Caesarea (4th century) alludes to Jewish Christian communities in his Ecclesiastical History, implicitly encompassing the Nazarenes.
7. Medieval Hebrew sources use the term notzrim (נוצרים) to denote Christians, originating from “Nazarenes.”
8. Early Islamic texts (Qur’an, Hadith commentaries) refer to naṣārānī (نصراني), translating to “followers of the Nazarene.”
9. Cardinal Humbert, Letter to Pope Leo IX (1054 CE) References Pasagians (Pasagini), identified with surviving Nazarene communities in Southern Italy.
10. Bar-Hebraeus (13th c.) Mentions Syrian Nazarene Christians still using Hebrew liturgy in Aleppo region.

## Moving Forward

Would you like to explore:

– How different denominations interpret Jesus’s core teachings today?
– Modern movements aiming to restore Torah-observant Christianity?
– The Jewish roots of key Christian doctrines?

Let me know which path sparks your curiosity next!”

Some fringe sources trace church to Circe or Kirke, the Greek sorceress-goddess, via a root meaning “circle” or “circular” and link it to pagan temple shapes https://www.calledoutbelievers.org/the-true-origin-and-meaning-of-the-church/

Circe (Greek Mythology)

• Daughter of Helios (the sun god) and ocean nymph Perse; famed as a sorceress who transformed men into beasts with enchanted food and drink.
• Symbolized magic, seduction, and the power of transformation in Homer’s Odyssey (c. 8th century BC) Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circe

Circle (Universal Symbol)

• Ancient across cultures: represents eternity, unity, wholeness, and the cosmos. No beginning or end implies infinite cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
• In Chinese thought, the circle signifies heaven; in Judeo-Christian (protestant and catholic) art, halos denote sanctity; in sacred geometry it embodies balance and perfection https://studyofsymbols.com/circle-history-meaning-of-symbols/

Note that in the Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic bibles, no one went to a church.

The followers of Jesus Yeshua went to synagogues, assembiles. Yeshua created ecclesia, while protestants and Catholics created churches.
Churches are not Ecclesia, and Ecclesia are not Churches. 

A Church is a building related to the Circe or Circle described above, and knowingly or unknowingly blends in rituals, cultures, and religions of Easter, Baalam (Nicolas) of the nicolations, that come from Egypt and Babylon. A Church is inclusive of every religion (Unified Catholic Chrislam), and is the daughter of the sun god helios, and NOT the bride of yeshua. The Circe daughter of helios meets on the venerable day of the sun (Helios Baal Ra). It is often made up of false witnesses: Acts 6:13-14 And they appointed false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease speaking words against The Written Law and against this holy place.” 14“We have heard him say that Yeshua the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses delivered to you.” Wolves and False Prophtes

צְפַנְיָה Zephaniah 3:1-5

Yeshua specifically warned about these same false prophets and wolves and hamas torah חָמְסוּ, תּוֹרָה in Matthew 7.

The Ecclesia is a set appart group of people, who do NOT practice rituals, cultures, and religions of Easter, Baalam (Nicolas) of the nicolations or the nations. Insteadthe Ecclesia follows the torah, keeps shabbat, and the holy days and feasts mentioned in the bible, and they have faith in yeshua the Nazarene, who taught his followers to do these things, and not depart from them, so that they may remain in yeshua’s love, as he is in his father’s love (John 15:10), but yeshua and the father are one echad (Deuteronomy 6), and not 2 or 3.

So we can see from history that the extra bibilcal (after the bible) protestant and catholic faiths are replacement theology,

Protastants and Catholics reject the strict torah observant nazarene judaism taught by yeshua hamashiach (Christianity),

Protastants and Catholics attempted to replace the teachings of yeshua (Christianity), with new faiths (NOT Christianity).

The term Christianity means to follow christ (Meshiach Messiah) that is his hisorical nazarene judaism,

Catholic and Protestant faiths are replacement theologies made by men and councils, centuries after yeshua lived, died, rose, and assended to heaven.

              – Protastants and Catholicsare a “new way” and a “new covenant” involving a new papal preisthood that is not from the tribe of levi,

              – Protastants and Catholics Outlawed the holy days in the bible, and replaced them with Biblically Forbidden Mythological holidays founded and  originating in rome, egypt, and babylonian myths, (see holidays)

              – Protastants and Catholics Outlawed the law of moses and the 7th day sabbath,

              – Protastants and Catholics Persecuted and wore out the saints, changed the times, and the laws, fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel 7:23 and Daniel 7:25

Therefore protestant and catholic faiths are NOT Christianity, NOT following the Christ messiah yeshua hamashiach. 

According to Daniel 7:23 and Daniel 7:25 the 4th nation of Rome, tried to change the lunar biblical commanded forever calendar, into the papal Gregorian solar calendar, and the “church calendar” that the council of nicea ruled uses the spring vernal equinox ( the astrological sign of Aries ) and the first full moon following Aries, to determine the beginning of the “Church Calendar” and the pagan holidays. This is the basis of the Catholic and Protestant festivals, holidays, Sunday worship, and everything they do that violates torah; the torah that was outlawed by rome, and the “church” councils.

Good News is that today we have the knowledge and wisdom to return to the torah observant ways that yeshua jesus and his disciples taught, and be a holy set apart peculiar people.
1 Peter 2:9, a treasured possession of hashem Exodus 19:5, and we can have a close intimate fellowship and relationship with hashem and other believers.

Exodus Chapter 19 שְׁמוֹת

• Yield edible seeds when parched, indicating sufficient dry matter.
• Develop so it will be harvest-ready in 2–3 weeks (by the First Day of the Passover week).

• To determine the new year, teams travel hill-country fields in early spring in search of Aviv Barley. If the Aviv Barley is in all the fields, and the first new moon is sighted, then the new year begins in the spring, and spring has begun! 
• It is time to prepare for passover, bring the lamb into your house on the 10th day of the month, and begin passover on the 14th day at sundown, feast of unleavened bread, and first fruits. Counting the homer follows, and then shavuot.
• In the 7th month comes the last 3 feasts of the year. Yom Terrura, Yom Kippour, and Sukkot.
• Then the new year starts in the spring when the barley is Aviv and the new moon is sighted all over again! It is a year filled with feasts, gatherings, and celebrations for the king of kings and lord of lords; doing them his way on his days!

New Moon Sighting

The biblical month begins at the first sighting of the crescent moon (chodesh). Ancient Israel’s approach:

1. Observers watch the western horizon on days 29 and 30 of the current month.
2. Two or more reliable witnesses report spotting the slim crescent at sunset.
3. The Sanhedrin (or its local equivalent) confirms and proclaims the new month by trumpet blast and sacrifices; all subsequent feast dates follow from that declaration

This visual method turns each new-moon evening into a communal event—skywatching, signal fires, and shared reports build excitement as everyone marks the turning of the month.

Making It Fun

Engaging in these ancient practices is an immersive celebration:

• Springtime field expeditions with friends to spot green-gold barley
• Sunset skywatch parties, complete with binoculars and hot tea
• Community feasts right after the moon-sighting, sharing seasonal dishes
• Hands-on workshops on weaving an omer sheaf or blowing the ram’s horn
• Photography contests for the best new-moon crescent shot

By stepping outside, hunting buds in the grain, and looking up together, participants forge memories that blend Hebrew heritage with nature’s beauty.
