Okay, welcome back to the second part of our discussion, everyone.
The first part of our discussion, again, what we wanted to do was lay down
the foundation as it relates to what the people of the New Covenant were called in
the days of antiquity.
And what we see, or what we saw rather, was that they were first, or was first
mentioned as people practicing a theological belief which was just noted as
a way or the way.
And we see later by the acknowledgement of Felix, after Paul was delivered up to be
judged or having to give an account for his actions, that he was accused of being
a ringleader of the Nazarenes.
And then later, later, we see that Luke states that Felix was associated,
not associated, but familiar with this way or this practice.
Okay, thereby binding the two, you have Nazarenes associated with the
way.
Okay, not Christianity as we've gone in and have already established that
Christianity was, or Christian was inserted after the translation of the book
from the Greek into the Latin.
Okay, and it was a term that was first used by Bishop Ignatius of Antioch.
All right, let's go ahead and continue with the theology of the Nazarenes.
Let's see what their practices were, and we can get an understanding of where
we are today in our theological practices.
All right, let's go ahead and pick it up at Acts chapter 21.
Acts chapter 21, and let's pick it up at verse 17 through 24.
Acts chapter 21, verses 17 through 24.
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
And the day falling, Saul went with us unto Jacob, and all the elders were
present.
And when we had saluted them, he declared particularly what things Elohim had
wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
And when they heard it, they glorified Yah and said unto him, You see, brother,
how many thousands of Jews there are which believe, and they are all jealous of the
Lord.
Okay, here's your highlight in verse 20.
Go back and read verse 20 again.
And when they heard it, they glorified Yah and said unto him, You see, brother,
how many thousands of Hebrews there are which believe.
Believe in what?
Believe in Yahshua.
But notice, which believe, and they are all zealous of the law.
The law is the foundation.
The law is our culture.
It defines, it defines who we are.
It defines if we are lawful or if we are what?
Lawless.
Okay.
All right.
So look at the concern.
Let's pick up verse 21.
And they are informed of you that you teach all the Jews which are among the
Gentiles to forsake Moshe, saying that they ought not to circumcise their
children, neither to walk after the customs.
And this is not what Paul communicated to the Hebrews in these mixed assemblies
throughout Asia Minor.
What he communicated was that the Gentiles did not have to have circumcision imposed
upon them.
But we see that Yahshua's brother, James, says here, they are informed of you
that you teach all the Hebrews, which are among the Gentiles, to forsake
Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk
after the customs.
So we have apostles and disciples with concerns about statements that Paul
allegedly made.
And we know that this concern stemmed from one of the epistles that he wrote to the
Galatians, which was a mixed Hebrew assembly.
And when he spoke to the Gentiles, he said to the Gentiles that circumcision
profiteth nothing.
And so when this word got back to the assembly at Jerusalem, there was a big
issue with this because it was communicated to the leaders in the
assembly that here you have Paul out within Asia Minor teaching that the
Hebrews does not have to be circumcised.
OK, so let's go ahead and pick it up in Acts 24, Acts 24.
And let's pick it up at verses 14 through 15.
Acts 24, 14 through 15.
But this I confess unto you that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I,
Elohim of my fathers.
Back up and read verse 14 again.
OK, here you have Saul being accused of being a heretic, a heretic.
Go ahead and read.
But this I confess unto you that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I,
Elohim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the
prophets.
Believing all things that are believing all things which are written in the law
and in the prophets and have hope toward Elohim, which they themselves also allow
that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust.
Let's go ahead and pick it up at Acts 27, 8 through 9.
Saul is saying, I have not offended anything of the fathers.
I've not offended the culture.
And we're going to continue to build upon these statements.
Acts 27, and let's pick it up at verse 8 through 9.
And hardly passing it came unto a place which is called the fair havens.
Near where unto was the city of Lasea.
Now when much time was spent, and when selling was now dangerous, because the
fast was now already passed, Saul admonished them.
OK, so why do we have Luke communicating to Theophilus about a fast?
A fast, Yom Kippur.
There's a fast that we have one time of the year, the holiest day of the year.
This is a day that you do absolutely no work, no manner of work, no pleasure,
no nothing on.
All right.
Just a question.
Why would you have Luke writing to Theophilus about a fast, saying that when
the fast was passed, it says because here you have now when much time was spent and
when sailing was now dangerous because the fast was now already passed, Paul
admonished them.
OK, go ahead and pick it up in Acts 28, 16 through 23.
I just want to lay down a foundation of what the Nazarenes were engaged in.
And then we're going to go back to our secular material and build upon the
Christian perspective on the Nazarenes.
Acts 28, 16 through 23.
What we want to do is we want to be able to receive knowledge and understanding and
skill to say to our friends, if we are not to observe the law, then explain to me why
we have all of these activities taking place.
That's bound in the law amongst the apostles and the disciples.
If we are not if we are not to partake in the covenant, if we are not to be
practitioners of the covenant, then explain to me why you have these
apostles engaged in all of these acts that are found in the Torah.
Go ahead.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of
the guard.
But Saul was suffered to dwell by himself with the soldier that kept him.
And it came to pass that after three days, Saul called the chief of the Hebrews
together.
And when they will come together, he said unto them, men and brethren,
though I have committed nothing against the people of customs of our father,
yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people or customs of
our fathers or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from
Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go because there was no
cause of death in me.
But when the Hebrews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar,
not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
For this cause, therefore, have I called for you to see you and to speak with you,
because that for the people of Israel I am bound with this chain.
And they said unto him, we neither receive letters out of Judea concerning you,
neither any of the brethren that came showed or spoke any harm of you.
But, but we desire to hear of you what you think.
For as concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.
Go ahead.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him in his lodging,
to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of Elohim, persuading them
concerning Yahshua, both out of the law of Moshe and out of the prophets,
from morning to evening.
Read 23 again.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging,
to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of Elohim, persuading them
concerning Yahshua, both out of the law of Moshe and out of the prophets,
from morning to evening.
OK.
All right.
Let's go ahead and pick it up at Romans 1, 29 through 32, persuading them both out of
the law of Moses and out of the prophets.
Out of the law and the prophets.
Let's go over to Romans 1, 29 through 32.
Romans 1, 29 through 32.
And this is one of the reasons why our knowledge and our ecclesiastical learning
and understanding our education begins with the law and the prophets.
The reason why you have Hebrew assemblies and you have Christians and various
religious groups and bodies argue over the Messiah's name is because they do not
defer to the law and the prophets in order to validate and substantiate their
position.
If you have in the prophets and the prophets that the Messiah's name will be
Yahshua, then where's the argument?
OK, go ahead and pick up at Romans 1, 29 through 32.
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whispers,
backbiters, haters of Elohim, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful, who knowing the judgment of
Elohim, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same,
but have pleasure in them that do them.
What he just named your brothers and sisters from 29 through 32 are
transgressions of the law.
How is it that you can have a religious body, a theological standing, which states
that we are not under law, but yet, but yet tells you that you need to honor
your mother and father.
You should not covet.
You should not commit adultery.
Are not these things found in the law?
It makes absolutely no sense.
Okay, but let's continue to build upon that.
Romans 2, 10 through 14.
Let's look at what the ringleader of the Nazarene stated.
The ringleader of the Nazarene.
But glory, honor and peace to every man that works good to the Hebrew first and
also to the Gentile.
For there is no respect of persons with Elohim.
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law.
For as many as have sinned without law, that means that they don't even
acknowledge the law, shall perish without law.
And as many as have sinned in the law, they acknowledge the law and they
acknowledge that they shall be judged by the law.
And as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law.
The law, okay, just does not deal with harsh judgments.
But the law also deals with mercy.
The law also speaks about grace and grace, right?
For those who commit lawlessness in ignorance, you hear terms and phrases that
ignorance of the law is no excuse.
It is an excuse for ignorance.
All right, go ahead and read.
For not the hearers of the law just before Elohim, not the hearers of the law.
Paul is saying not the hearers of the law or just before Elohim, but what the doers
of the law.
But those that do the law shall be justified.
And we spend so much time arguing why we should not practice the law.
Go ahead.
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in
the law, these having not the law are a law unto themselves.
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in
the law, these having not the law are a law unto themselves.
The law people are broken into three blocks, three distinctive blocks.
The first block, OK, as relates to the law or the laws pertaining to holiness.
It shows you how to serve your deity.
OK, it shows you what the Most High requires of you.
The first four blocks.
First commandment is you shall have no other God before me.
The second commandment is you shall make unto yourselves no graven image and bow
yourselves down to it.
The third commandment is you shall not take or use the name of Yah your Elohim in
vain.
The fourth commandment, remember the Shabbat day to keep it holy.
All of these laws deals with how you serve your creator.
And then you have the next block of laws that deals with how we treat one another.
We're talking about social interaction or the laws of morality, human relations.
Honor thy mother and father.
Thou shalt not covet.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not murder.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
All of those laws deals with human relations.
And then we have our third tier, which are the ceremonial laws.
These are the laws that deal with sacrificing.
Now let's go back and look at 14.
Read 14 again.
They did not receive the synodic covenant.
Go ahead.
How would they be able to do by nature of keeping the Sabbath day?
That has to be taught and it had to be taught.
It had to be communicated.
How would they do that by nature?
How about not using the Most High's name in vain?
We were taught the Most High's name.
So how would they do that by nature?
So it's not talking about the first tier of laws.
It's talking about the second tier, the laws pertaining to human relations.
If they do those by nature, they are a law unto themselves, which show the work of
the law written in their hearts.
Their conscience also bearing witness and their thoughts.
The meanwhile, accusing or else excusing one another.
Let's go ahead and pick it up at 17 through 20.
Pay very close attention.
17 through 20.
Behold, you are called a Hebrew and rest in the law and make your boast of Elohim
and know His will and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed
out of the law.
Go back and pick it up at verse 17 again.
Behold, you are called a Hebrew and rest in the law and make your boast of Elohim.
Is he talking to the assembly in Rome?
Yes, he's talking to the new covenant assembly in Rome.
Look at what he says to the Hebrew.
Behold, you are called a Jew and rest in the law and make your boast of Elohim and
know His will and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out
of the law.
We're looking at Nazarene theology.
Go ahead.
And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which
are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which have
the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
Which have a form of knowledge and of the truth in the law, right?
But he says, behold, you are a Jew.
Did he not?
Go ahead and pick it up at verse... let's go ahead and pick it up at verse 26.
26 through 29.
Therefore, if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not its
uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Go ahead.
And shall not uncircumcision, which is by nature, if it is fulfilling the law,
judge you who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the law?
Right.
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision,
which is outward in the flesh.
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart and
the spirit and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of Elohim.
Go ahead and pick it up at 3, 1 through 2.
What advantage then has the Jew?
Or what profit is there of circumcision?
Much in every way, because, mainly because, that unto them were committed the
oracles of Elohim.
Romans chapter 7, 1 through 4.
What I'm simply trying to illustrate here is that the Nazarenes, okay, did not
deviate from the covenant.
The Nazarenes did not deviate from the covenant.
What they deviated from were the animal sacrifices.
That is what they deviated from.
Go ahead.
Know you not, brethren, for I speak to them that know the law, how that the law
has dominion over a man as long as he lives.
Not according to our friends.
According to our friends, we are not under law.
We are under grace.
But here Saul says, first of all, know you not, brethren, for I speak to
them that know the law, how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he
lives.
Go ahead.
For the woman which has a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he
lives.
Go ahead.
But if the husband be dead, she is loose from the law of her husband.
That's right.
So then, if while her husband lives, she be married to another man,
she shall be called an adulteress.
That's right.
But if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so that she is no
adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Go ahead.
Wherefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law.
By what law?
Thank you.
By the sacrificial ordinances, the law pertaining to sacrifices.
Wherefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law by the body of the
anointed, that you should be married to another, even to him who is raised from
the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto Elohim.
Let's continue.
Pick it up at verses 13-25.
13-25.
Was then that which is good made death unto me?
Elohim forbid.
But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me, but that which is
good, that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold unto sin.
For that which I do, I allow not.
For what I would, that I do not, but what I hate, that I do.
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that is good.
Now then, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing.
For to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good,
I find not.
For the good that I would, I do not, but the evil which I would not,
that I do.
Now, if I do that I would not, it is no more that I do it, but sin that
dwells in me.
I find in the law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me.
For I delight in the law of Elohim after the inward man.
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind,
and bringing into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
I thank Elohim through Yahshua the Anointed, our Master.
So then, with my mind, I myself serve the law of Elohim.
I thank Elohim through Yahshua the Anointed, our Master.
So then, with my mind, with my mind, with my mind.
This is the reason why Moses said meditate upon the law.
Solomon said meditate upon the law.
Okay?
I thank Elohim through Yahshua, through Yahshua the Anointed, our Master.
So then, with my mind, I myself serve the law of Elohim.
But with the flesh, the law of sin.
Now pick it up eight and five.
But they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh.
But they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death.
Right?
You are already flesh, right?
You are already fleshly.
Okay?
But one needs not to be fleshly minded, but spiritually minded.
Go ahead.
But to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is hatred against Elohim.
Go ahead.
For it is not subject to the law of Elohim.
For it is not subject to the law of Elohim, neither indeed can be.
So then, they that are in the flesh cannot please Elohim.
Got a mic here.
Alright, right here he is talking about animal sacrifice and also sexual lust,
things like that, sexual vices and things like that.
Here?
Yeah, right here where he is saying them being controlled by the law of the flesh.
No, no, no.
This is flesh is used to denote carnality.
Period.
Right?
We are talking about lust, greed, envy.
We are talking about... Hold on one second.
Hold your thought.
Let me show you.
Let's go to the book of Galatians.
Go ahead and pick it up at Galatians chapter 5 and pick it up at verse 16.
Galatians chapter 5 and verse 16.
This I say then, walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the
flesh.
Walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
The lust of the flesh is everything carnal.
Right?
Walk in the spirit is walking in the laws of Elohim.
Why?
Because the laws of Elohim are spiritual.
Go ahead.
For the flesh lusts against the spirit.
Now we just spoke a little bit about that over here in Romans.
The seventh chapter.
He says my mind, my focal point is going to be on the laws of Elohim.
My flesh is my flesh.
Right?
But hey, if my mind is focused, then the body should follow.
Go ahead.
For the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh.
That's right.
Go ahead.
And these are contrary the one to the other so that you cannot do the things
that you would.
Right.
Go ahead.
But if you be led of the spirit, if you be led of the spirit, you are not
under the law.
In other words, if you are following the law after a righteous nature, right?
Then you don't need a reminder in order to be obedient to the code of ethics of the
most high.
OK, go ahead.
Now, the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these adultery, fornication,
uncleanliness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revelings and such alike of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you
in times past that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of
Elohim.
This is the lust of the flesh.
Now go back to Romans chapter eight and pick it up in verse five.
Romans chapter eight and verse five.
For they that are after the flesh.
We just we just named them over in the book of Galatians.
Go ahead.
Do mind the things of the flesh.
That's right.
But they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit.
Remember, he says this, I say, then walk in the spirit and you shall not
fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Right.
Go ahead.
For to be carnally minded is death.
For to be fleshly minded is death.
Go ahead.
But to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
He says this, I say, then walk in the spirit, walk in the spirit.
Go ahead.
Because the carnal mind is hatred against Elohim.
Why?
Because it is not subject to the law of Elohim.
Nazarene is going back to the point, OK, that you're going to have to focus and
meditate and practice the law.
You're going to have to do it.
Right.
And let me go ahead and jump here a little bit.
Let's go ahead and pick it up.
No, I'm going to continue.
And we're actually going to expound on this piece.
But go ahead and continue to read verse nine, brother.
Romans chapter eight and verse nine.
But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit.
If so be that the spirit of Elohim dwells in you.
That's right.
Now, if any man have not the spirit of the anointed, he is none of his.
Now, what do we have to have in us?
Do we have to have the spirit of Elohim in us or the spirit of the anointed?
The spirit of Elohim.
Right.
Which is his what?
Word.
Which is his word.
OK.
All right.
Now let's go ahead and pick it up at chapter nine, verse one through six.
This is the reason why this is the reason why Paul said in the book to the
Philippians, he says, let this mind be in you.
That was also in Yahshua.
OK, let's go ahead and pick it up at Romans nine, one through six.
I say the truth and the anointing.
Remember, Paul told you says one is not, you know, you are looking at Jews from an
outward perspective.
Right.
One is going to have to be of the chosen people of Elohim, according to the inward
man.
Not the outward man of circumcision, but the inward man of the circumcision of
the heart.
Right.
OK.
This is a Jew.
Go ahead.
Now watch what he says here.
And in qualifying this more.
Go ahead.
I say the truth and the anointed.
I lie not.
My conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have a great
happiness and continual sorrow in my heart.
If I could wish that myself will curse from the anointed for my brother,
my kinsmen, according to the flesh who are Israelites, to whom pertains the adoption,
the glory, the covenants who are Israelites.
Number one, to whom pertains the adoption.
They were the only nation of people adopted, adopted, adopted from amongst
man.
This is the reason why he says over in the book of Amos, you only have I known
amongst all of the nations upon the face of this earth.
You only.
Go ahead.
Who are Israelites to whom pertains the adoption, the glory.
They give right.
They receive the glory because they are ministers of the covenant.
Go ahead.
The covenants and the giving of the law.
They get not the receiving of the law.
We receive the law on Mount Sinai.
Right.
But what does he say?
The giving of the law.
In other words, right.
To teach the law, to teach the law.
Go ahead.
And the service of Elohim and the promises, the services, the service of
Elohim and the promises, whose are the fathers and of whom as concern of the
flesh, the anointed King who is overall Elohim blessed forever.
Not as though the word of Elohim has taken that effect, for they are not all Israel,
which are of Israel.
The objective is to become what?
The Israel of Elohim, the Israel of God.
OK.
And there is a process.
This is the reason why Yah says there shall be one law for all.
As you do, so shall the stranger do that sojourns amongst you.
Right.
OK.
When Yahshua returns, there would be a theocratic order upon the face of this
earth.
Everyone will be subjective to the laws of Elohim.
All right.
Let's go ahead and pick it up at Romans 11, 13 through 18.
Romans 11, 13 through 18.
For I speak to you Gentiles inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles.
I magnify mine office.
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, I might save some
of them.
Go ahead.
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the
receiving of them be but life from the dead?
Go ahead.
For if the first fruit be holy.
That's Yahshua.
The lump is also holy.
That's the assembly.
And if the root be holy.
Those are the fathers.
The children of Israel.
Go ahead.
And if some of the branches be broken off.
That's right.
And you Gentiles being a wild olive tree, Go ahead.
Were grafted in among them.
You all were grafted in among them.
You all were grafted in amongst the children of Israel.
The children of Israel were not grafted in among you.
You were grafted in amongst the children of Israel.
Go ahead.
And you being a wild olive tree, and were grafted in among them,
and with them...
Boast not against the branches.
But if you boast, you bear not the root.
You do not bear the covenant of the fathers, right?
But the covenant bears you.
Go ahead.
For if Elohim spared not the natural branches, take heed, lest he also spare
not you.
This is a message to the Gentiles that are in the assembly in Rome.
1 Corinthians 6, 9-10.
We are going through these epistles that the apostles wrote, mainly Paul,
to see if Paul communicated a Nazarene doctrine or what we know today to be...
or what we call today a Christian doctrine.
1 Corinthians 6, 9-10.
What do we have that defines unrighteousness?
What do we have that defines law?
We have the Torah that defines unrighteousness.
You cannot teach doctrine from the New Testament.
The New Testament is a confirmation of sound doctrine.
Go ahead and pick up verse 9 again.
Go ahead.
No covetous, no drunkards, no revilers, no extortioners shall inherit the kingdom
of Elohim.
Everything that the law speaks against, everything that is against the will of the
Most High, everything that is ungodly, unholy, everything that is profane,
is outlined in the Torah.
What Saul is doing is he is extracting these things and he is communicating it
now to the assembly at Corinth.
1 Corinthians 7, 5.
1 Corinthians 7.
And go ahead, brother, and pick it up at verse 5.
But I speak this by permission and not of commandment because this commandment or
this act, this decision is not found in the law book.
You are not going to find it written in the law that if you have an issue with
your spouse, you separate for a while.
That is not documented.
So Saul has to preface this by saying, okay, look, this is what you do if you
have some issues with your spouse.
Separate for a while.
Give yourself the fasting and prayer.
But understand something.
You are not going to find this written in the law book.
But I am speaking this by permission.
Go ahead and read.
Now he is telling you this is coming from the law book.
He is telling you this is not coming from me.
I am not speaking this by permission.
This is a commandment that comes from on high.
Look at how a Nazarene works.
That is the reason why when a questioner is asking me if I cannot find it in the
scriptures or if it is not to be found in the scriptures and it is a pretty good
question I do not know, I would say it is my opinion.
This is not doctrine.
This is not scriptural.
This is my opinion.
This is my personal belief.
Because I do not have an answer for you.
Go ahead and read.
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but Yah.
Let not the wife depart from her husband, but if she depart, let her remain
unmarried or be reconciled to her husband.
And let not the husband put away his wife.
But to the rest speak I, not Yah.
If any brother has a wife that believes not...
Okay, Paul is telling you this is what I am saying.
You are not going to find this in the law either.
Go ahead.
If any brother has a wife that believes not and she be pleased to dwell with him,
let him not put her away.
And the woman which has a husband that believes not and if he be pleased to dwell
with her, let her not leave him.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is
sanctified by the husband.
Else were your children unclean, but now are they holy.
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart.
A brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases, but Elohim has called us to
peace.
And this is exactly what Saul is communicating to the assemblies in order
to establish peace.
This is the reason why he is communicating outside of the law in order to address
situations that the law did not deal with.
That the law did not address.
But he is telling you, I speak this by permission.
Go ahead.
For what know you, O wife, whether you shall save your husband?
Or how know you, O man, whether you shall save your wife?
But as Elohim has distributed to every man, as the master has called everyone,
so let him walk.
And so ordain I in all assemblies.
Is any man called being circumcised?
Let him not become uncircumcised.
Is any man called in uncircumcision?
Let him not be circumcised.
Circumcision is nothing.
And uncircumcision is nothing.
But the keeping of the commandments of Elohim.
That's something.
Let's look at the dialogue of a Nazarene and compare it to what has been taught
over the past 2,000 years.
1,900 years.
Look at what's being taught and communicated.
About 68% of the world population today as they try to quote from this book.
That's the reason why all of these doctrines that you find under the
Christian umbrella makes absolutely no sense.
And a lot of Hebrews that come out of Christian organizations they carry residue
from it and therefore their doctrine doesn't make any sense.
Okay, let's go ahead and pick it up at 1 Corinthians 7 and 39.
We're going to go ahead and run this on down here because we have a lot of secular
to go over.
1 Corinthians 7 and 39.
The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives.
But if her husband be dead she is at liberty to be married to whom she will
only, only in the master.
1 Corinthians 14 and 34.
Let your women keep silence in the assemblies for it is not permitted unto
them to speak but they are commanded to be under obedience as also says the law.
Okay, now the law doesn't state that a woman cannot speak in the assembly,
okay?
But the law does state that they are to be under obedience.
That's what's in the law, okay?
Alright, let's go ahead and pick it up at 1 Corinthians 16 and 8.
But I will tarry at Ephesus unto Pentecost.
Okay, so here we have Pentecost again.
Let's go to Galatians...
We went there.
Let's go to 1 Timothy 1, 7-10.
1 Timothy 1, 7-10.
Remember what Paul said, if you be led by the Spirit then you are not under the law.
What does he mean?
1 Timothy 1, 7-10.
Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor
what they affirm.
But we know that the law is good if a man use it lawfully.
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man.
Why?
Because a righteous man keeps the law by nature.
He does the law by nature.
Go ahead.
Who is the law for, though?
But for the lawless and disobedient...
You can only disobey a policy, a process, a law, a guideline.
Okay, go ahead.
For the ungodly and for sinners.
What is sin?
Transgression of the law.
Go ahead.
For unholy and profane.
For murders of fathers and murders of mothers.
For manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with
mankind.
For men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons.
And if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine.
Where is sound doctrine located?
In the Torah.
In the Torah, the first five books of the Bible.
Alright, let's go ahead and pick it up at 2 Timothy 3, 14-17.
Go ahead.
But continue you 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.
Okay, the New Testament was canonized in the year 367 A.D.
by Athanasius and his administration.
What's your time stamp on Saul's epistle to Timothy?
Okay, it wasn't canonized in 66 A.D.
Paul was writing letters in the year 66 A .D.
So when Saul tells Timothy, and that from a child you have known the Holy
Scriptures.
He wasn't talking from Matthew to Revelations.
Matthew to Revelations did not exist.
Okay, and that from a child you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are what?
Able to make you wise unto salvation through faith, which is in the anointed
Yahshua.
What do you find in the Holy Scriptures?
What did he just enjoy?
The law, the prophets, and the faith of Yahshua.
Go ahead.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of Elohim and is profitable for doctrine.
Where do you receive doctrine from?
Remember what he said, okay?
In 1 Timothy chapter 1, 7-10, he says, And if there is anything, if there is
anything contrary to sound doctrine.
If there is anything that is contrary, right, to the law and the prophets.
Go ahead.
For reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
Instruction in righteousness.
All right, let's go ahead and pick it up at 2 Timothy 4, 1-4.
I charge you therefore before Elohim and the master Yahshua who shall judge the
quick and the dead as appearing in his kingdom.
Teach the word, be instant in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke,
exhort with all longsuffering in doctrine.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.
But after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching
ears.
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.
Okay, so let's see what truth is.
Remember they said they're going to turn away from sound doctrine, okay?
He says here, they will not endure sound doctrine.
Sound doctrine, we've already confirmed, are the law and the prophets, okay?
He says they're not going to endure sound doctrine.
They shall turn away their ears from the truth.
Psalms 119 and 140 through 142.
Psalms 119, 140 through 142.
Your word is very pure, therefore let your servant love it.
I am small and despised, yet do not I forget your precepts.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness and your law is the truth.
And they will what?
They shall turn away their ears from the law.
Go ahead and pick it up at verse 151.
You are near, O y'all, and all your commandments are truth.
And they shall turn away their ears from the commandments and shall be turned unto
fables.
Proverbs 30, 5 through 6.
This is Nazarene.
These are Nazarene's teachings, okay?
This is a Nazarene's epistle to another Nazarene.
Make sense?
Proverbs 30, 5 through 6.
Every word of Elohim is pure.
He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Add you not unto his words, lest he reprove you.
Add not unto his words, lest he reprove you.
Go ahead and pick it up at John 17, 16 through 17.
Don't add unto his word.
You can elaborate upon his word by using other scriptures.
By looking at trends and looking at statements that have already been given or
communicated in order to expound on a verse.
And that's what we do.
All right.
John 17, 16 through 17.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them through your truth.
Your word is truth.
Every time Yah opened up his mouth, he gave what?
Law.
Okay, let's go to James 4, 1 through 4.
James 4, 1 through 4.
Go ahead.
From whence come wars and fighting among you?
Come they not hence, even of your lusts that warn your members?
You lust and have not.
You kill and desire to have and cannot obtain.
You fight in war, yet you have not, because you ask not.
You ask and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your
lusts.
You adulterers and adulteresses...
Why does he call them adulterers and adulteresses?
Why?
Because they were committing adultery?
Sister Elaine, where is Walker?
Talking about spiritual adultery.
Spiritual adultery.
And we are going to confirm that.
Go ahead.
Know you not that the friendship of the world...
That is spiritual adultery.
Okay?
You are either a part of the world system, okay?
Or you are a part of Yah's ecclesiastical system.
Okay?
This is the reason why he says you lust and you have not.
You kill and desire to have and cannot obtain.
You fight in war, yet you have not, because you ask not.
You ask and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your
lusts.
We are talking about the pride of life.
John talked about this in 1 John.
You adulterers and adulteresses.
Why would you call them adulterers and adulteresses?
Follow up.
Know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with Elohim.
Whosoever, therefore, would be a friend of the world is an enemy of Elohim.
Let's look at what a Nazarene's doctrine is about.
And compare it to what has been taught for the past 1900 years.
Many of your religious leaders, okay, run in politics.
Run in politics.
Part of the world government structure.
Alright, let's go ahead and pick it up at James 5, 19-20.
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth and one convert him, let him know
that he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from
death and shall hide a multitude of sin.
Brethren, what is truth again?
Law.
Brethren, if any of you err, right, from the commandments and one,
right, converts him or brings him back, let him know that he which converts the
what?
The sinner.
He that converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death
and shall hide a multitude of sins, right?
Okay, pick it up at 1 John 3 and 4.
Truth.
Brethren, if any of you do err from the commandments and one converts him,
he says err.
Err from the truth.
What is the truth?
He just qualified in verse 20.
He says, let him know that he which converts the sinner.
What is a sinner?
Pick it up at 1 John 3 and 4.
And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law.
Whosoever commits sin transgresses the law.
Let's pick it up at 1 John 5, 1 through 3.
Whosoever believes that Yahshua is the anointed is born of Elohim.
And everyone that loves Him that begot loves Him also that has begotten of Him.
By this we know that we love the children of Elohim.
When we love Elohim and keep His commandments.
This is a Nazarene talking.
Go ahead.
For this is the love of Elohim.
What is the love of Elohim, Yishma'el?
That we keep His commandments and His commandments are not grievous.
And His commandments are not grievous.
All right.
Let's go ahead and pick it up at Revelations 12 and 17.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of
her seed.
Go ahead.
Which keep the commandments of Elohim.
Who?
Who did he go make war with?
With the remnant of her seed which keeps...
Who is the remnant of her seed?
Those which keep the commandments of Elohim.
Those that keep the commandments of Elohim.
Go ahead.
And have the testimony.
And have the testimony of Yahshua.
Remember what James said at the council, right?
He says there are thousands of Jews out there which believe.
The question was believe in what?
Believe in Yahshua and they are all zealous for what?
For the law.
The very same thing you see quoted here in Revelations 12 and verse 17.
Let's go ahead and pick it up at Revelations 14, 12 through 13.
Here is the patience of the saints.
What is a saint or a righteous one?
There are those that keep the commandments of Elohim.
Those that keep the commandments of Elohim.
And have the faith of Yahshua.
And are purified in the name of Yahshua the anointed.
Believing and confessing doesn't do anything, doesn't mean anything,
unless you are purified in His name.
The only thing that you are doing is just talking.
Unless you are purified.
Alright, Revelations 20, 12.
Did you all see?
I mean, we went basically through all of these epistles.
And in all of these epistles, right, what they are talking about is keeping of
the commandments.
And keeping the law.
Observing the law.
Being purified by the law.
Being purged, right, by the law.
Okay.
Revelations 20, 12-15.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before Elohim.
And the books were opened.
What books were opened?
Go ahead.
And another book was opened, which is the book of life.
And the dead were judged out of those things.
What book do we have that have judgments found in them?
The Torah, the law books.
Go ahead.
And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books
according to their works.
According to their works.
In Galatians chapter 5, right, we talked about the works of the flesh.
Romans chapter 2, we talked about the works of the flesh.
And 1 Timothy chapter 1, right, Paul told you, you know, that the law is
not made for the righteous, right, but for the lawless, for the unholy,
for the ungodly.
And everything that you saw was a work of the flesh.
Go ahead.
And they were judged every man according to their works.
Go ahead and pick it up at verse 13.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the
dead which were in them.
And they were judged every man according to their works.
Go ahead.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of
fire.
Revelations 22 and 9.
Then said he unto me, See you do it not, for I am your fellow servant, and of your
brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book.
Worship Elohim.
OK, this is the angel, right, that spoke to John and told John exactly what to say
to the people.
Right.
OK, go ahead.
And let's see what's in verse 14.
Go ahead.
That's what else the angel said.
Go ahead.
Blessed are they that do His commandments.
But you're hearing these words though, right?
You're hearing these words.
Go ahead.
Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of
life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Blessed are they that do what?
His commandments.
OK, that's all I want to see right there.
Let's go ahead and pick up our first bullet.
After the death of the apostles.
What happened?
The question is what happened?
We clearly see from Matthew all the way to Revelation, the theme seems to be what?
Keep the commandments.
Practice the law.
Right.
Have faith in Yahshua.
OK.
So now we have a religion upon the face of this earth that just says just believe in
Jesus and don't worry about the law.
OK.
What took place?
What happened?
Go ahead.
After the death of the apostles, the early Christians removed the Jews'
influence from their midst and began the practice of Sunday worship.
The early church fathers removed, right, the Jews' influence.
What was the Jews' influence?
The law.
And began Sunday worship.
Go ahead.
Epistle of Ignatius to the Christian churches.
For we are still practicing Judaism.
For if we are still practicing Judaism.
This is what Ignatius said to go and show you what he started off with.
For if we are still practicing Judaism, we admit that we have not received God's
favor.
We should not be practicing our faith after the Jewish manner to keep the
Sabbath and to eat things prepared the day before.
End quote.
Go ahead.
Early in the second century, the Nazarene Jews became subjected to a number of
religious and political events.
In 117 CE, the Roman Emperor Hadrian built a temple to Jupiter in Jerusalem and
renamed the city Aelia Capitolina, turning Jerusalem into a Roman city.
Watch this.
Nazarene synagogues were destroyed and schools of pagan thought...
Read again.
Nazarene synagogues were destroyed and schools of pagan thought and Christian
cults were erected in their places.
Go ahead.
Go to the next one.
After the Romans defeated the Jews around 132 CE...
Schools... Nazarene schools were destroyed, right?
And schools of pagan thought and Christian cults were erected in their places.
Go ahead.
After the Romans defeated the Jews around 132 CE, Yehudah the last recorded
Nazarene, Nasih head of the Beit Din, was exiled with the rest of the Jews from
Jerusalem.
A Gentile Christian named Marcus was made Bishop of Jerusalem in his place.
OK, kick the Jew out.
We put in the Gentile.
OK, so now he's responsible for teaching you sound doctrine.
And what does he teach you?
Lawlessness.
Go ahead.
Next bullet.
In the second century CE, many of the early church fathers or apostolic fathers
began to make statements which further separated Gentiles from everything Jewish.
Non-Jewish doctrines began to be developed, which became the foundation of
beliefs of Christianity.
Although Gentile Christians were not particularly opposed to the Jews and many
still converted to Judaism.
And many continued, many converted to Nazarene theology.
Go ahead.
The former position of the church was decisively set against the synagogue.
The church sought to conquer the synagogue, which, in their view,
continued to cling stubbornly to its ancestral faith.
Frustrated and embittered, the church fathers set out to prove that Judaism was
a legalistic, dead and superseded religion.
Go ahead.
Two, by reversing the biblical image of the Jews, the church claimed to be the new
Israel.
The church claimed to be the new Israel.
Go ahead.
The Jacob, whereas the Jews were Esau and Cain, the murderers of their brother.
Go ahead.
Israel was portrayed as blind and divorced from God.
Go ahead.
This theology of replacement, which evolved in a theology of displacement,
stated that the Jews had forfeited what God had given them.
And now Christianity was the new heir to the promises and the blessings of God.
Go ahead.
The Jews, however, could keep the curses in the epistle of Barnabas written around
135 CE.
This replacement theology is clearly stated.
Referring to the Mosaic Covenant, Barnabas writes, Indeed, it is ours.
All this belongs to the Christians.
Now, Paul just said in his epistle, he says, Do not boast against the
branches, for you don't bear the root.
The root bears you.
Go ahead.
Indeed, it is ours, for Moshe had hardly received it when they forfeited it
forever.
The third epistle of Barnabas, just in the modern 110 through 165.
And dialogue 10 states, Christians live like all other Gentiles, not observing the
festivals, Sabbath, new moon or the rite of circumcision.
Christ did away with the entire law of Moses and circumcision.
True fasting is giving your food to the hungry.
Church father rhetoric.
Go ahead.
In 325 CE, a pagan Gentile named Constantine conquered Rome and made
himself emperor.
Mm hmm.
Constantine, although a pagan himself, declared his brand of Christianity to be
the Catholic universal religion, thus making Christianity the enforced
state religion of the Roman Empire.
Constantine, who was an anti-Semite, called the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE to
standardize Christianity.
Mm hmm.
Nazarene were excluded from the meeting.
Nazarene are Nazarenes, right?
This is a Yiddish term for Nazarene.
Right.
Go ahead.
Jewish practices were banned.
The day of the sun was substituted for the biblical Sabbath for the first time.
Gentile Christianity officially labeled the Nazarenes as apostates.
There you go.
Go ahead.
From this time forward, Nazarenes began to be listed in the catalogs of apostate
movement.
Mm hmm.
The first of these to include the Nazarenes was Epiphanius, Pateron around
370 CE.
Next bullet, please.
The early Christian church was not a highly organized.
This is an essay by Dr. Meredith Sprunger on an introductory, an introduction to
Christianity.
An introduction to Christianity by Dr. Meredith Sprunger.
Go ahead.
The early Christian church was not a highly organized body with an established
creed.
Right.
Therefore, it could encompass a wide variety of beliefs.
Go ahead.
The most famous heresy of the early church centered around a widespread and diverse
group known as Gnostics.
Go ahead.
They believed that the spirit was good and that flesh was evil.
Mm hmm.
Consequently, they denied that Christ could have been truly human.
Jesus was not really born of the flesh and there was no resurrection of the flesh.
Mm hmm.
The Gnostics also regarded Jehovah as an inferior being.
Excuse me, as an inferior being and rejected the Old Testament.
Mm hmm.
Gnosticism was a synchronous, a syncretistic movement, which incorporated
beliefs of many Middle East religions and philosophies.
Go ahead.
Marcion, the son of the Bishop of Pontus, declared that the God of the Old Testament
was a cruelly legalistic and merciless deity and that Christians should discard
the Old Testament and follow Paul in asceticism, celibacy and scorn the
physical world.
Mm hmm.
According to Wallace Austin, a minister in Princeton, New Jersey, Marcion tried to
get rid of the Hebrew scriptures altogether, being convinced that the
church was making a mistake and aligning itself with the religion and literature of
the Jews.
Dr. John Gary, a Messianic Jew, writes the following.
In the middle of the second century, the Hebrew foundations of Christian faith
were attacked by the first great heresy that challenged the church.
Some of the ideas of this heresy so permeated the church's corporate psyche
that it has not yet fully recovered its spiritual and scriptural equilibrium.
Marcion, son of a bishop of Sinatra and Pontius, joined the Syrian Gnostic Serdo
in Rome and developing a dualistic view of sacred history which postulated the
existence of two gods, the good and gracious God, which is Christ,
and the Demiurge, Jehovah of the Jews.
Marcion taught an irreconcilable dualism between gospel and law, between
Christianity and Judaism.
The Demiurge and his religion were seen as harsh, severe and unmerciful, and they
were cast into Hades by Christ, the good God.
Marcion invented a new canon of Holy Scripture, which included only an abridged
gospel of Luke and ten of Paul's epistles, some of which he edited.
He rested the words of Jesus in Matthew 5, 17 to declare, I am not come to fulfill
the law and the prophets, but to destroy them, right?
So what Yahshua does is he takes Yath, throw him over in a lake of fire,
and then says, I've come to destroy the law.
This is what your Christian church fathers attempted to publish.
Go ahead, pick up your next bullet.
Dialogue of Justin, chapter 11.
The law abrogated reads, but we do not trust through Moses or through the law,
or though the law, for then we would do the same as yourselves.
But now, for I've read that there shall be a final law and a covenant, the chief of
all, which is now incumbent on all men to observe, as many as are seeking after the
inheritance of God.
For the law promulgated on Horeb is now old and belong to yourselves alone.
But this is for all universally.
Right, Christianity.
Go ahead.
Now a law placed against law has abrogated that which is before it, and a covenant
which comes after in like manner has put an end to the previous one, and an eternal
and final law, namely Christ, has been given us, and the covenant is trustworthy.
After which there shall be no law, no commandment, no ordinance.
Barn of curses.
Let those who are not yet acquainted with them, Nazarene, please note how perverse
their belief and doctrine are.
First they teach that we should obey the law of Moses, according to the letter,
the Sabbath, circumcision, and legal precepts still being in force.
Furthermore, to increase their error, they condemn and reject all the church
fathers.
Furthermore, to increase their error, they condemn and reject all the church
fathers.
To the Nazarenes.
Very same things we would be accused of.
Furthermore, to increase their error, they condemn and reject all the church
fathers, and the whole Roman church.
They condemn and they reject.
They reject all of Christianity.
All of Christianity.
Now let's see how they retaliated.
Let's see how the Christians retaliated.
Go ahead.
Retaliation of the church.
John Christendom, possibly the early church's most powerful and influential
orator, stated, the Jews have assassinated the Son of God.
Propaganda generally goes first, right?
Okay, you want to wage war?
Okay, go ahead.
The Jews have assassinated the Son of God.
How dare you associate with this nation of assassins and hangmen?
The Jews are the most worthless of all men.
They are lecherous, greedy, rapacious.
They are profiteers, murderers of Christ.
The Jews are the odious assassins of Christ.
And for killing God, there is no expiation possible.
No indulgence or pardon.
Christians may never cease vengeance.
And the Jews must live in servitude forever.
Elohim always hated the Jews.
It is incumbent upon all Christians to hate the Jews.
This is from Prager D.
and Tushkin, J.Y.
the Jews, New York, Simon & Schuster, 1985.
Next bullet.
The leader of the first crusade, Godfrey Bouillon in 1096 CE, swore to
avenge the blood of Christ in Israel and to leave no single member of the Jewish
race alive.
Go ahead.
When the crusaders arrived in Israel, then called Palestine, they rounded up the
Jews in Jerusalem, herded them into the synagogue, and burned the building to the
ground.
Go ahead.
Marching triumphantly around the inferno, they sang a hymn, Christ we adore you.
Inside the burning synagogue, no doubt the Jews heard these strains of Christian
worship as they perished.
Go ahead.
Fourth Lateran Council, held in 1215 CE, Pope Innocent III condemned the Jews to
eternal slavery.
They were... Jews were condemned to eternal...
Now how many of y'all know any Jews in slavery or went into slavery?
Go ahead.
By decree, the Jews against whom the blood of Jesus Christ calls out, although they
are not to be killed, least the Christian people forget the divine law.
Yet as wanderers ought they remain upon the earth until their consciences be
filled with shame.
Wanderers, no home, no place.
Go ahead.
By the 11th century, the church had converted to Christianity virtually all
the inhabitants of Europe.
In 1215 AD, the church's Fourth Lateran Council set up the social destiny of the
Jewish people in Christian lands for many centuries.
At this council, the whole of Western Christianity may have well been
represented.
There were present 71 archbishops, 412 bishops, 800 abbots, and a host of
other church dignitaries and priests.
It was decided that Jews were forbidden to walk in public on Christian feast days and
also had to wear a distinctive badge on their clothing.
They were to wander over the earth without rights...
Without rights.
Without a home...
Without a home or security.
And treated at all times as if they were beings of an inferior species.
And the so-called Jews today own the world.
Own every single thing.
But look at what the nation's curse that they have pronounced against the
ecclesiastical Hebraic bodies.
And what Yah has placed as a curse upon them.
And you are going to find they are sink and sink.
And just go in and just find where the Hebrews are.
Go ahead.
The Council's Canon 68 states, Jews and Saracens of both sexes in every
Christian province must be distinguished from the Christian by a difference of
dress.
Moreover, during the last three days before Easter, and especially on Good
Friday, they shall not go forth in public at all.
The negative projection of Jews continued for centuries.
That's right.
Go ahead.
Even the Reformation did not improve the situation of the Jews.
That's right.
At the beginning, the great reformer...
We're talking about Protestantism, right?
Okay, go ahead.
Martin Luther, expecting mass conversions of the Jews, wrote to the papacy
condemning the Catholic Church's persecution of them.
Go ahead.
However, when the mass conversion of the Jews did not materialize, Luther felt
betrayed and his acceptance of the Jews were turned into loathing.
Luther declared...
Now watch Luther's quote here.
Go ahead.
Therefore, know, my dear Christian...
My dear Christian...
That next to the devil you have no more bitter, more poisonous, more venomous an
enemy than a real Jew...
Than a real Jew.
Go ahead.
Who earnestly desires to be a Jew.
Go ahead.
Now what are we going to do with these rejected, condemned Jewish people?
You must refuse to let them own houses among us.
You must take away from them all their prayer books and Talmuds wherein such
lying, cursing, and blasphemy is taught.
You must prohibit their rabbis to teach.
You shall not tolerate them, but expel them.
Go ahead.
Another form of isolation was the ghetto system introduced in Venice by the church
in 1516.
Another form of isolation was what?
Was the ghetto system...
Go ahead.
Introduced in Venice by the church in 1516.
The ghetto, from the Hebrew word get, meaning divorce, was a segregated and
enclosed section of Venice for the complete isolation of the Jews from the
Christians.
That's right.
Ghettos were prevalent mostly in Northern Italy, the German-speaking countries,
and a few Polish cities.
The Jewish quarter, which already existed, was different to that of the ghetto as
Christians and Jews were able to mingle together.
Christians also partook of Jewish life and learning.
The creation of the ghetto was not just to keep the Jews in, but to keep the
Christians out.
With this statement, the church settled the destiny of the Jewish people for many
centuries.
With this statement, the church settled the destiny of the Jewish people for many
centuries.
Church doctrine ultimately legitimized the torture and murder of Jews in Christendom
for nearly 2,000 years.
They were to live as wanderers on the earth, having no home, rights,
or privileges.
The Jews were treated as pariahs and became the scapegoats for all the ills of
society.
People everywhere in all classes were eager to exterminate the Jews.
These people were not born with an instinctive, talking about the Christians,
an instinctive hatred in their hearts towards the Hebrews.
Their hatred was a product of clerical propaganda, church propaganda.
