The Armor of Elohim

An Excerpt from my spiritual warfare book War in Heaven http://www.lulu.com/nazarene

We live in a Hellenistic (Greek based) culture. This culture has unfortunately colored our understandings of the Scriptures, often in ways we do not realize. The Hellenistic Roman culture has had a major impact on our own. The commentaries on the Scriptures that we read are all to often unduly influenced by Hellenistic, Roman cultural views. Many books… Continue

Yesod HaBriah

One of the halachic principles which distinguished the Essenes from the Pharisees (whom the Essenes termed “Wall Builders”) was a principle the Essenes called “Yesod HaB’riah” (The Principle/Foundation of Creation).

The Pharisees were divided on the issue of divorce. The House of Shammai allowed

divorce only in the case of an “unclean matter” while the House of Hillel allowed divorce

even if the wife only spoiled a dish, and Akiva stretched this to allow a man to… Continue

Your Feedback and Support

Shalom Chaverim,

The Body of Messiah is being attacked by Mar Sheol (the Lord of the Pit). I love YHWH with all my heart. I will feed his sheep and I will act to protect His sheep. I will not stand by and allow wolves to destroy the flock. I refuse to stand by and watch the Lord of the Pit transform this last days restoration of the Sect of the Nazarenes into a bizarre polygamist cult.

It is good to know that so many of you are standing by us in this matter.

As for… Continue

A Nazarene Looks at the Book of Mormon Part 1

A NAZARENE LOOKS AT THE BOOK OF MORMON

By James Scott Trimm

PART 1:

THE ANTI-NOMIAN BOOK OF MORMON

The Book of Mormon makes a major mistake from a Nazarene standpoint. The Book of Mormon does not represent the teachings of the Bible, but instead presents the teachings Protestant Christians have BELIEVED are in the Bible.

Although the Book of Mormon, unlike the Bible, presents a continuous story line running from "Old Testament Times" through into… Continue

I am Anti-Christ

I am anti "Christ"

At least I am if by "Christ" you refer to the Christian version of

"Jesus" who came to "free you from the bondage of the Law". This

Torah-less "Jesus" is not my Messiah, Yeshua, the Word made flesh, the

living Torah, is my Messiah.

Many have asked "Why have the Jews rejected Jesus?"… well let me make

this clear, the only "Jesus" that most Jewish people have ever been

exposed to is the "Jesus" that supposedly came to "free them… Continue

Is the Tithe for Today?

In this movement we often deal with the question “Is the Torah for today?”. Ironically those that teach the Torah has been done away with encourage their audience to tithe, on the other hand, those that maintain that the Torah is for today, often teach that the tithe is not for today!

Many in the Torah Observant movement have been taught that the tithe only coes to Levites, or only goes to the Temple and is only on agricultural produce of the land of Israel. As a result, Torah… Continue

Wolf in the Fold

Chaverim,

Over the last week we have been flooded with emails, many from persons who had, until now, studied under the teaching ministry of Moshe K. . The common denominator of these emails is that they were all shocked and dismayed by Moshe K. recent actions and teaching. Just this last week, Moshe K. sent out an email soliciting single women to match into polygamous marriages. And all of this is being done in the names of “Messianic” and “Nazarene”.

Some of those who… Continue

The Apocrypha Unveiled

The Apocrypha Unveiled

There are thirty nine books about which Jews and Christians agree form the text of the Tanak. There are also thirteen books about which they do not universally agree as to whether they should be in the canon of the Tanak or not. These books are known as the “Apocrypha”.

The “Apocrypha” are a group of books which seem to have been part of the canon of the earliest “Christians” but which were not adopted by Rabbinic Judaism into the Masoretic Text, and… Continue

The Systematic theology of the "One Faith Two Expression" theology or "Two Torah" Theology is the theology of much of Messianic Judaism including the majority of the IAMCS and the UMJC.

Two Torah Theology maintains that the "Church" or "Body of Messiah" is made up of two two groups who are united together in one body. The two Groups are Messianic… Continue

Bring your Jug of WIne

There is an old Jewish story of a couple about to be married. They

lived in a small village and had invited everyone from the village to

their wedding. Each guest was asked to bring a jug of wine for the

celebration. Each jug of wine would be poured into a giant vat to be

shared by everyone. As the wedding day approached, each member of the

village thought, "If I do not bring my jug of wine, it will not be

missed among so many other jugs."

The wedding… Continue

Explaining About Sabbath and Law

Saturday v.s. Sunday

Written By Trecek

Sunday observers believe that the seventh day Sabbath was changed to Sunday in the NT. And, some believe that the entire law within the OT was nailed to the cross. Is this true?

JOHN DOE WROTE:

Some false teachers are those who do old testament sabbaths and feasts and stuff. Galatians 3;24 says "Wherefore the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.Verse 25; But after that… Continue

Messianic Docetism????

Rabbi Trimm, could you share your ideas regarding Marshell Konuichowsky's teaching in Whole Wheat Unleaven Bread. Where as I do not perceive your words on the same perspective in this as Marshell does by teaching Yeshua could not walk with us in flesh because 'yetzar ra' would be physical aspect. I believe it is not physical but spiritual. Yetzar (inclination) is set in the womb at needing its basic needs, so, as the child grows it is given chance to choose, but base animal desires are what the… Continue
