What's wrong with Christianity?  SEE NATSARIM (CLICK ON WORDS)

"My brothers, if one of you should wander from the Truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."   

~  James 5:19-20  (Ya'aqob 5:19-20)

Things have become bent over the centuries.  You may know many of the things contained on this page, but perhaps if they are presented to you clearly enough, you may agree with the unquestionable conclusion that the world has strayed far from the faith once delivered to the saints.

Judaize?  Is Yahushua a "Judaizer"?  Did He not give Israel the Torah?  There's only one body of Messiah, not two.  And, Yahushua is the Messiah of Israel, so why would an Israelite have to change their way of living (religion) to accept their own Messiah?  If we are to walk as Yahushua walked, it would be hard to explain why we would not have a Passover, or Sabbath day (the real one), or the appointed festivals He lived by (and as Elohim, gave them to Israel).  Also, it is far more likely that Goliath of Gath had an Easter basket and solstice tree than our Messiah did;  after all, these items are rooted in idolatry, not the Torah of Yahuah. 

The "universalizing" of the diverse religions of the Romans has had its effect. 

It was altered beyond all recognition.   If only the Pagan elements in Christianity burned people like hot sauce;  maybe then they would notice them.

It was an edict enforced under pain of death.  When Yahusha told us, "pray that your flight not be in winter, or on a Sabbath" (Mt. 24), do you imagine He was only talking to future "Judaizers" that may still be clinging to the "non-Catholic" error of resting on the real Sabbath?   If we were trying to solve a mystery, or a calculus formula, we'd make certain of getting the correct answer, no matter how many variables there were.  Yahuah does not change or vary His ways, yet people can't seem to solve the most simple of puzzles concerning how the true Sabbath became "Satyr-Day", and the Pagan's "Day of the Sun" became Rome's day of rest.  Constantine did not outlaw Pagan practices in the least, but "universalized" the diverse beliefs of his empire.

Yahuah gave instructions not to ADD or TAKE AWAY from His Commandments (Dt. 12:32).

Catholicism added 7 "sacraments" that the Word of Yahuah knows nothing of, and took away 

7 appointed times (see Lev. 23, Dt. 16), which we see Yahushua observed faithfully.

"For it is by (chasid, unmerited lovingkindness) you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of (Elohim), not by works (of men's hands, i.e., circumcison), so that no one can boast.  For we are (Elohim)'s workmanship, created in (Mashiach Yahushua) to do good works, which (Elohim) prepared in advance for us to do. (These "good works" are the Torah, the Covenant with Israel).

Therefore, remember that you who were formerly Gentiles in the flesh, and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)-  remember that at that time you were separate from (Mashiach), excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope and without (Elohim) in the world.  But now, in (Mashiach Yahushua), you who once were far away, have been brought near through the blood of (Mashiach). 

For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one, and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,  by abolishing in His flesh the law with its commandments and regulations (the ceremonial law, not the Torah).  His purpose was to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,  and in this one body to reconcile both of them to (Elohim) through the (tree), by which He put to death their hostility."   Eph 2:8-16

The conclusion to draw from these clear writings is that there is no one who currently obeys the Covenant that is a "Gentile"  -  they may have been "formerly Gentiles in the flesh", but are now members (or better, "fellow citizens") of Israel.  This is not an allegorized, "spiritual" Israel as many have supposed through other misunderstandings, such as the doctrine of "Replacement Theology".  While the term "Israel" can be used to apply to a geographic area, in Scripture this term refers to those who have joined themselves to Yahuah through His Covenant, also known as His Torah (the Ten Declarations/Words).  Through the centuries, there has been a "Gentilization" of the faith, a falling-away (apostasy) from Torah observance, and the adoption of formerly Pagan terms and observances.  The Sabbath and moed'im (appointed times) were sabotaged/replaced, the Name was destroyed/ruined in favor of non-specific, generic references, and over time the persecuted became the persecutors. 

"Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens (Gentiles, goyim), but fellow citizens with (Elohim)'s people and members of (Elohim)'s household,  built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with (Mashiach Yahushua) Himself as the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a (qodesh, set-apart) temple in (Yahuah).  And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which (Elohim) lives by His Spirit."   Eph 2:19-22
