10 Differences between Christianity and Nazarene Judaism

1. CHRISTIANS: Believe in God the Father, God the Sun and God the Spirit,three persons in one  God (doctrine of theTrinity).

NAZARENE JUDAISM:   We have thefather, YHWH, as the only Elohim andthe center  of worship (Dt 6:4-9). We do not believe in the Trinity.

 

2. CHRISTIANS: They seemed sure not beunder the law, but under the grace. TheNew Testament is the Authority‘sconduct and life as the New Covenant.The salvation is by grace through faithalone.

NAZARENE JUDAISM: We believe that weare under grace, making it easy to understand and apply the law of Elohimin the Tanack and salvation is by gracethrough faith in Yeshua. We recognizethat Orthodox Jews are judged by the lawof Elohim, unless at the end of times, they come into the light of Yeshua. 

3.CHRISTIANS: They believe in Jesus andhis deity.

NAZARENE JUDAISM: Yeshua is theMessiah of Israel promised in theTanack, descendant of David, throughhis father biological Yosef. The divinenature is, because it comes from thefather, He was in front of the Father andsaw Him, resurrected and in He lives allthe fullness of deity (Colosians 2:9). We believe that Yeshua has a specialdivinity to be high priest and authorthrough YHWH’s eternal salvation forwhich believes in the Hebrews 5:9-10 reads “ and having been perfected,became the author of eternal salvationto all who obey him and was declared byElohim high priest after the order ofMelchizedek“.

4.CHRISTIANS: They believe the virginbirth.

NAZARENE JUDAISM: Yeshua wasdescendant of the House of David by hisfather Yosef. (There was no virginbirth) See Luke 2:3-6 

5.CHRISTIANS: They believe in Sundayas the day of the Lord, the day in thatJesus resurrected from the dead.

NAZARENE JUDAISM:  We remember Exodus 20:8 “Remember the day Sabbath to keep Holy it.” Exodus20:9-11.  “Six days you labour, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of YHWH your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. Therefore YHWH (יהוה) blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart”. 

 

6.CHRISTIANS: All the Jewish festivalswere surpassed by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Christian Church is notobliged to keep Jewish holidays whichpassed along with Acts of the Apostles.

NAZARENE JUDAISM:  We celebrate all the Leviticus 23 festivities, specially thethree large  annual Festivities of Elohim: Pesaj, Shavuot, and Sukkot, andthe weekly gathering of Shabbat / Saturday, all scriptural, not “for themJewish“,  but for all “followers ofYHWH“.  

7.CHRISTIANS: They use the words: “Jesus”, “Chrit”, “John”, “New Testament”, “Old Testament”, “Paul”, “Palestine”, “cross”, “church”, “converted”, “christian”.
NAZARENE JUDAISM: We use the original hebrew names: Yeshua, Mashiach, Yonathan, Nazarene Texts, Tanack,  Shaul, Israel, Wood, Kehila, Goy  

8.CHRISTIANS: The Christian Church recognizes baptism and the supper of the Lord as ordinances left by Jesus Christ to his Church.

NAZARENE JUDAISM:  We do not believein any “Holy supper” out of Passover,and this is only once a year. We practiceevery Shabbat Kiddush take: takeunleavened bread and wine kosher. To the  purpose of “baptism”, in Judaism,the mikveh, the bath ritual exists from 4,000 years ago and physically,  there are no difference between it and theimmersion in water instituted by theRabbi Yeshua except by a singledifference: the immersion in water is made a single time for salvation proof,for death of our ego and to have the lifeof Yeshua Ha Mashiach in us. Themikveh is done periodically.

 

9.CHRISTIANS: Christianity believes thatwhat the Nazarene Judaism is doing is“Judaizing” and “go back to Judaism“.                                                                                        NAZARENE JUDAISM: We are restoringwhat is has stolen, the translations, thetrue religion of the Rabbi Yeshua, itscontext cultural, idiomatic andtheological.

10.CHRISTIANS: They believe that thenew Covenant has been instituted.                                   NAZARENE JUDAISM:  We affirm that still have not been given the New Covenant describe in  Jeremiah 31:31-34  and named in Hebrews 8,  Yeshua brought renovation of the Covenant of Moses with different priestly laws. 

 

Hebrews 8:8-13  “For finding fault with them, He says, “See, the days are coming,” says YHWH, “when I shall conclude with the house of Yisraʼĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah a renewed covenant,   not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Mitsrayim, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them,” says  YHWH. “Because this is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Yisraĕl after those days, says יהוה, giving My laws in their mind, and I shall write them on their hearts, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. And they shall by no means teach each one his neighbour, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know YHWH,ʼ because they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. Because I shall forgive their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I shall no longer remember. By saying, ‘renewed,ʼ He has made the first old. Now what becomes old and growing aged is near disappearing“.

None of this has happened, because the“New Covenant” is something that will happen when Yeshua returns to theworld. In the mean time we have the Nazarene Scriptures about the story of the true Messiah of Israel: Yeshua. 

 

Thousand blessings and shalom to all.
