Nazarenes

About Us

We are a handful of Jews who study and practice the teachings of the early church.

We use two names: Nazarenes and Ebionites.
Internally, we call ourselves Nazarenes, from Yeshua the Nazarene, our Lord, and that is how we would prefer to be called.

To distinguish ourselves externally from the "Nazarenes" who are from the Pauline church and have nothing to do with us, although they are quite popular, we use the name Ebionites.
The name Ebionites comes from אֶבְיוֹנִים or ebionim, which means poor, describing the community of Jews who believe in Our Lord Messiah Yeshua, who keep the Laws of God, as well as the teachings of the Jerusalem church.
We believe that the teachings we have are teachings from the Jerusalem Community - James the Brother of the Lord, we are also Jews, and the name poor refers to certain teachings related to our faith.

Do you have to become a Jew to be a Nazarene?

Yes, the Law for Nazarenes has not lost its validity, but we also have interpretations of the scriptures that are read according to the teachings of the Apostles.
Christians and Jews can read in the prophecy of Isaiah 56, it is said that pagans can join the people of God by accepting His Laws and Sabbaths (holidays). If you accept the Laws and Sabbaths that are with the Jews, we become Jews.
Lord Yeshua was the Messiah, and as we know, Messiah is the title of the King of the Jews. So it is difficult to accept Messiah Yeshua as Lord without being a Jew.

Do you believe in the Trinity? Or in One God.

We believe in God as He was given by the Apostles.

We are not another menu item where a person can imagine that God should look like this and not otherwise and choose.
You can know about God as much as He Himself said about Himself, because there is no position from which we could observe God, nor words that could truly justly define God.

Are your teachings true?

We believe that God taught us to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and true teaching must rely on the truth that comes from the Lord Yeshua. Many teachings that we have but do not publish are based on understanding, which is why anyone who learns about them is surprised that people do not see this, how blind they are.

But the beginning begins with the fact that someone must seek the Truth, focusing on self-denial, because the truth sometimes contradicts what we imagined and seeing it, it is simply hard to believe, but there are no words to refute the Truth. We do not publish writings so that they are not used by deceivers.

Are there many of you?

No, very few, but don't worry, more than one person ;)

Are you different from Messianic Jews?

Yes, we have texts that are not in the canon of Messianic Jews, we completely reject Paul of Tarsus as a false prophet, so you will not find in our collection of writings any letters that can be easily attributed to Paul of Tarsus or his teachings.

By cutting out Paul, you have nothing

By cutting out Paul, it turns out that other apostles start saying that whoever sacrifices himself for God is not left with nothing, there are whole volumes of teachings that are based on the truth.

If you had the Truth, there would be many of you

In the days of Noah, there were many unrighteous people, and Noah was righteous. The majority of them did not help many, Noah's justice did.

We do not wonder why few people know the Truth, but apparently that is how it was supposed to happen.

There are so many copies of the Bible, it can't be that there are falsehoods

Many copies, many versions, many canons.

In ancient times, the Iliad is considered the most popular, does that mean it is true?

Do you have anything in common with others who call themselves Ebionites/Nazarenes?

Everyone can call themselves whatever they want, we call ourselves Nazarenes after Yeshua the Nazarene, and Ebionites (ebionim) through science, and this results from our teachings, not a matter of attributing ourselves to a specific group.
We have teachings that we believe come from the Jerusalem church, led by James the Brother of the Lord, hence there are no guesses in our teachings.

We are not "Nazarenes" from the Pauline branch, and we consider Paul a false prophet, nor are we people calling themselves "Ebionites" and claiming that the Son of God was born during baptism, or describing the world in a philosophically complex way, defining a good/bad god, etc.

Our teachings are based on the Truth

Can anyone become a Nazarene?

No, only the one whom God calls to us will be willing to deny himself and submit to God's Will.

What must be done to be a Nazarene?

Educate yourself, accept Messiah Yeshua as Lord, receive Baptism in Living Water, observe the Law of God and the teachings of Lord Yeshua.

Can everyone be convinced?

People are prone to falling in love with bad people, they will not change their minds, although they see that there are other better people. Due to a similar state of mind, people choose badly and even if they see it, they persist in their choice.
