Yeshua or Jesus was NOT"Christian"

Shocking as it may seem, history and the Bible prove that Yeshua theMessiah was a devout Jew who did not come to abolish the faith ofJudaism or the Law of his Father, but to magnify and epand them!Modern day "#hristianity" has very little in common with the carpenter$sson from %a&areth, whom they claim as the founder of their "faith"!Yeshua did not teach or observe the ma'or "#hristian" holidays of#hristmas, (aster, but considered them pagan) *e observed the

Jewish holy days of +assover, abernacles, and +entecost) Just whatdid Yeshua the Messiah of %a&areth teach- .nd why was he violentlypersecuted by the religious leaders who were in control during his day-/hat did he really teach about the Laws of Y(*01.* 2od-

For many months we have wanted to write upon this topic) Bruce Barton calls

Yeshua the Messiah the man "nobody knows," and that seems to be the truth! 3n

his book entitled The Man Nobody Knows, Barton pointed out that the Messiah

of the %ew estament was very unlike the common conception people have of

him) *e was not sanctimonious, wimpy, namby4pamby, weak, whining, or

effeminate) %ot only was he muscular and strong, physically, having worked for

years as a carpenter and mason, but he was bold, courageous, and active, even

throwing the money changers out of the emple of Y(*01.* 2od)

But, Yeshua the Messiah was unlike the common conception of him in many

other ways, also) he truth is, he was %0*3%2 L35( the modern

representation or idea people have of him! ruly, as the apostle +aul warned

was beginning to happen 6,788 years ago, the world has embraced ".%0*(9

J(S:S" 44 a totally different "Jesus" from the one revealed in Scripture! +aul

warned the #orinthian church, "But 3 am afraid that 'ust as (ve was deceived by

the serpent$s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your

sincere and pure devotion to #hrist) For if someone comes to you and preaches

a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit

from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you

put up with it easily enough" ;33 #or) 66, %31?)

he Yeshua of modern4day #hristianity all too often seems to be one who hated

his Father$s law, especially the Sabbath day, and abolished it) *e hated the holy

days of Y(*01.* 2od, and abolished them) *e came preaching a gospelwhich virtually abolished the entire 0ld estament, the Laws of Y(*01.* 2od,

and ridiculed and condemned all the religious leaders of the Jews) But is this

portrait of Yeshua the Messiah accurate-

/ho is the "real Jesus"-

Will the Real Yeshua, Please Stand Up?

he truth is, the "Jesus" 'ust described is 6@8A opposite from the Yeshua of the

Scriptures! *e is a F.LS( Y(S*:., a false "god," which was foisted upon theworld by a devious and cunning Satan, who has indeed deceived the "whole

world" ;9ev) 6

he priest was to present these offerings before the L09C and make the sin

offering and burnt offering ;verse 6G?) *e was to present the basket of

unleavened bread, and to sacrifice the ram for a fellowship offering, together

with the grain offering and drink offering ;verse 6?) hen the %a&arite$s hair,

which had not been cut for the duration of the vow, was to be shaved off and put

in the fire under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering ;v) 6@?) he priest then

was to place in his hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and a cake and a wafer

from the basket ;unleavened?) "he priest shall then wave them before the

L09C as a wave offeringD they are holy and belong to the priest, together with

the bread that was waved and the thigh that was presented) .fter that, the

%a&arite may drink wine" ;%um) G

origin is not in the Scriptures of the Bible, but in the ancient pagan Mystery

religion of ancient Babylon, with its false Messiah, its pagan customs and

beliefs, and its hatred of the laws and customs of Y(*01.* 2od, which have

been preserved in part by the Jews only!

hat is why we say, in the title of this article, that Yeshua the Messiah was %0#*93S3.%! *e never observed #hristmas ;see our article, Is Christmas

Christian??, which is the pagan celebration of the winter solstice and the birth of

the "sun god)" *e wasn$t born anywhere near Cecember E! *e never observed

(aster Sunday, named after the pagan goddess of se and fertility, called

"((S(9" ;phonetic spelling? but spelled .starte, or 3shtar, by the pagans)

Furthermore, Yeshua the Messiah never once in his entire life observed

"Sunday" every consecutive week as a day of rest, nor did he ever command his

followers to observe it! Sunday is the pagan day of worship of the S:% 20C! 3t

carries its very meaning in its name) rue followers of the Messiah do not

worship on the "day of the sun" every consecutive week, but keep the Sabbath

according to the lunar calendar as Y(*01.* 2od commanded, and which can

fall on any day of the week! #onsecutive Sunday worship stamps people as

worshipping the false "god of this world," Satan ;33 #or) >?, who has blinded the

minds of those who believe not the truth of the Scriptures) Satan comes

disguised as an "angel of light," as +aul wrote)

hose who teach contrary to the Law of Y(*01.* 2od, which Yeshua upheld,

and +aul also taught, are false ministers, serving in false #hurches, eploiting

the "name" of Yeshua to cover over their pagan roots and origins) +aul writes of

them, "For such are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masKuerading as

apostles of #hrist) .nd no wonder, for Satan himself masKuerades as an angel

of light) 3t is not surprising, then, if his servants masKuerade as servants of

righteousness) heir end will be what their actions deserve" ;33 #or) 66

Yeshua and the Pharisai# Leaders o %is Ti&e

.s Yeshua the Messiah was brought up, therefore, and taught as a youth, he

was obviously brought up in the teachings and doctrine of the +harisees! 1ery

likely he was educated by 9abbis who were of the School of *illel) /e know that

his wisdom and knowledge, even when he was 6 years old, astonished the

doctors of the Law and +harisees) /hen he was twelve, his parents took him to

Jerusalem to observe the +assover) /hen the Feast was over, they returned


10/21

home, unaware that he was still in Jerusalem) . day after they left, they

discovered he was missing, and returned to Jerusalem to find him) ".fter three

days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to

them and asking them Kuestions) (veryone who heard him was ama&ed at his

understanding and his answers" ;Luke 64>?)

/hen Yeshua began his ministry, however, many of the +harisees did not

accept him) Many who were in power and authority in Jerusalem looked upon

him as an "outsider," an interloper, as one who threatened their power and

security) hey vehemently denounced him) /hen they saw his miracles, they

ridiculed them) /hen Yeshua healed a demon4possessed man who was both

blind and mute, the common people were astonished, and wondered, "#ould

this be the Son of Cavid-" But the ma'ority of the +harisees, who by this time

had been infiltrated by hypocrites and wicked men, re'ected the evidence beforetheir very eyes, and eclaimed, "3t is only by Beel&ebub, the prince of demons,

that this fellow drives out demons" ;Matt) 6

+harisees) By the time his ministry had begun, the +harisees as a whole had

degenerated into a thieving, greedy, conniving bunch of rascals and scoundrels)

he ma'ority of them had become wicked and self4righteous, vain and selfish,

lusting after praise, honor and glory from men)

' Pharisee Na&ed (a&aliel

0ne, however, who was not among this apostate group was 2amaliel) *e was a

"doctor of the orah," a grandson of the famous *illel who had founded the

School of *illel) 2amaliel is mentioned favorably in the %ew estament) Luke

records that when +eter and John had been brought before the Sanhedrin

because of the miracle they had performed in the name of Yeshua, many of the

+harisees present were furious and wanted to put them to death) he apostles

had challenged their authority to command them to Kuit preaching in the name

of the Messiah) +eter had said, "/e must obey 2od rather than men!" ;.cts

hen Yeshua confounded the +harisees by asking them a Kuestion, saying

"/hat do you think about the #hrist- /hose son is he-" hey replied, "he Son

of Cavid)" hen Yeshua asked them, "*ow is it then that Cavid, speaking by the

Spirit, calls him $Lord$- For he says, $he Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right

hand until 3 put your enemies under your feet)" $ 3f then Cavid calls him $Lord,$

how can he then be his son-$ " ;verses >64>E?) hey couldn$t think of a reply ;v)

Y(*01.* 2od, in determining the emple services and rituals, and in

preserving and maintaining the sacred calendar, and setting the dates for the

annual *oly Cays) /hen Yeshua said this, he was speaking of the C(10:

+harisees 44 such as echariah, the father of John the Baptist, 2amaliel, the

"doctor of the Law," and others, such as %icodemus)

But after saying this, he turned his attention to the 0*(9 +harisees 44 the

rascals and insincere, the mountebanks and hypocrites among them, the rogues

and scoundrels 44 the religious renegades and apostates! 3t is then of *(S(

kinds of +harisees that he goes on to say, "/0( to you, teachers of the law and

+harisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men$s faces) You

yourselves do not enter Hso obviously he was not here talking about devout,

righteous +harisees, such as 2amaliel, or %icodemus, or Saul of arsusI, nor

will you let those enter who are trying to) /0( to you, teachers of the law and+harisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to make a single

convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell

as you are) /0( to you, blind guides!" ;Matt) =

motives of self4interest and the desire for self4aggrandi&ement) he

leaders of the +harisees were well aware of them and condemned

them severely) 3n biting irony, the 9abbis called them $+ainted 0nes,$

whose piety was but painted on, a veneer designed to hide a heart of

selfishness) hus in the mouths of the rabbis, the term $+harisee$ could

be the highest accolade or scathing rebuke)

"9abbi Joshua used to say< $. mad pietist, a cunning villain, a

"+harisaic" woman and the scourge of the +harisees lead society to

destruction ;Sota 8 ff)?)$

"3n eplanation the terms are clarifed?) /e can almost pick

the different types of $painted ones,$ who are mentioned here in eKual

sharp rebuke) But why did the rabbis permit these people to remain

members of the group- Because as humans we cannot look into the

hearts of men to determine their true motivations" ;pp) 4=?)

Yeshua the !essiah -- the True .e/out Pharisee0

/hen we look at all the evidence, then, we see that Yeshua the Messiah did not

come to bring an entirely new "religion)" 9ather, he was a Jew, and he taught an

enlightened, epanded truth of the Law of Y(*01.* 2od) *e was taught of the

+harisees as a youth, and no doubt was considered as a "+harisee" in general

terms) he +harisees of that day acknowledged him as a "rabbi," or "teacher)"

John the Baptist seemed to be indicating that Yeshua was, at least in the

beginning, before he began his own separate ministry, among the +harisees)

For John said to the +harisees who came to him, Kuestioning him

jesus was not christian
