New Testament verses quoted from the Aramaic English New Testament, Andrew Gabriel Roth, Netzari Press, except as otherwise noted.

"My beloved, while I take all pains to write to you of our common life, it is needful for me to write to you, encouraging you to maintain a conflict for the faith which was once delivered to the Set Apart believers."

Jude 1:3 A.E.N.T.

The history of the Netzarim (Nazarenes) dates to the days of Mashiyach Y'shua’s (Christians refer to Him as Jesus) ministry on earth. Y'shua was Himself called a Nasraya. Yochanan (John) 18:5, "They said to him, "Y'shua the Nasraya. Y'shua said to them, 'I am he'." Andrew Roth's footnote says, "Y'shua is Mashiyach; the 'Netzer' of Yesha'yahu/Isaiah 11..." On page 905 in the appendixes of the AENT Roth goes on to say, "The Netzarim designation clearly implies the 'Tree of Life" which serves as a reminder of the Eternal Kingdom that was offered to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The term netzer (sprout or branch) is also the root word for the City of the Branch, Netzeret (Nazareth)... The designation of 'Nasraya' serves as a reminder for all his followers, not that he dwelled in Netzeret but that his 'dwelling' (the Spirit of Mashiyach) is within his people." (see also Matt. 2:23; 26:71; Mark 1:24; 10:47; 14:67; Luke 4:34; Romans 11:16).

In Acts 9:5 we read "And he answered and said, 'Who are you my Master?' And our Master said, 'I am Yeshua the Nasraya, He whom you persecute'." Later in Acts 23:5 Rav Shaul (Paul) was referred to as a "... ringleader of the sect of the Netzarim."

In Acts 11:26 we read, "...From that time on the disciples in Antiochi were first called Kristianay." Roth correctly cites in the footnote that, "The Shlichim/Apostles do not call themselves 'Kristianay' (Christians). The Sclichim are members of the Way (not to be confused with The Way International), referred to as Netzarim. Gentiles in Antioch coined the word 'Kristyane', a Greek term for 'Messianics'." In the appendixes Roth notes, "The Netzarim Faith is considered as a sect of Judaism in the First Century because it was originally sponsored by Jews. The popularity of Mashiyach Y'shua was the impetus for the original faith to be morphed into pseudo-Christian pagan religions... Although the values of the Netzari Faith are clearly preserved in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts, concepts like having Torah written upon the heart (observance of Torah) is almost non-existent within the Gentile based Christian religion which evolved in Antioch, Rome and Alexandria Egypt."

Yeshua was born a Jew. He observed the seventh day Shabbat (Sabbath) and the Moedim (Appointments) Feasts of YHWH. Y'shua wore a tallit (prayer shawl) and tzit-zit on the four corners of His garments. Y'shua lived a kosher lifestyle. Y'shua was Torah observant in all respects.

Y'shua's Shlichim/Talmidim were also completely Torah observant - they walked as Y'shua walked. In most of Christianity it is taught that "Jesus" nailed Torah to the "cross" and that we are now under grace and no longer following the Torah. This theology of course negates what Y'shua said in Matt. 5:17-19. Read it carefully. We have to ask ourselves, if the Torah was done away with, why did Y'shua's Shlichim/Talmidim continue to observe Torah? If the Torah was done away with, the "Ten Commandments" being a part thereof would have been done away with as well. What standard remains to judge sin?

Introduction

One of the fundamental doctrines taught in Christianity is that "Jesus nailed the Law (Torah) to the cross and we are no longer under the law". What does it really mean to be "under the law", especially from a Hebrew point of view? The Hebrew point of view is of extreme importance since Y'shua, the Messiah, was a Hebrew, His Shlichim were Hebrews (Luke was an Aramean wrongly interpreted as a Gentile), and they spoke Hebrew and Aramaic.

Christians around the world observe the Friday before Easter as "Good Friday", the day they believe Messiah was crucified. But does the Ketuviim Netzarim (Writings of the Nazarenes, Christian term: New Testament) really teach that Messiah was crucified on a Friday and resurrected on a Sunday? "IF" Messiah was crucified on the 6th day (Friday) of the week, then Messiah would have lied about the only "sign" that would be given. So, did Messiah lie or has Christian "doctrine" twisted the scriptures to fit into a pagan holy day?
