Shalom all,

Each week and through Channukah we will be teaching each Sabbath from 3:15 PM
Central Time until about 5:00 to 5:30 PM on Channukah and the Maccabees.

We will meets via PalTalk: http://www.paltalk.com in the BeitNetzarim room.
(BeitNetzarim is supposed to be one word). This room will be in the "Religion
and Spirituality" category and "Christianity" sub-category each Sabbath
(Saturday) at 3:00 PM Central Time. (Unfortunately the "Judaism" sub-category
creates too much disruption
with anti-missionaries disrupting the room.)

In the coming weeks we will be teaching from each of the four books of the
Maccabees, Judith and other Scriptures which pertain to Channukah.

Did you know that the Channukah story is a very accurate picture of the last
days?

Wherever you are in the world, come study with us online each Saturday at 3:15
Central Time.

If you are in the Dallas / Fort Worth area, come join us at 3:00 PM at 348
Arcadia; Hurst, TX 76053.

If you have a copy of the apocrypha, especially one with all four books of the
Maccabees (some editions only have 1 &2 Maccabees) have it handy.

The Gospel According to the Hebrews is a "lost" apocryphal Gospel used anciently
by the ancient Nazarenes and Ebionites. While no copies of this document have
survived, much of it has survived in about fifty quotations and citations from
it made by various ancient sources. Using these materials and other information
at our disposal, we have reconstructed the complete text (at least as complete
as we can have it at this date).

Barnes wrote:

…the Gospel according to the Hebrews by its very title claims
an authority equal to, if not actually greater than, that of the
four which eventually received the approval of the Church.
(A. S. Barnes; The Gospel according to the Hebrews;
Journal of Theological Studies 6 (1905) p. 361)

And Schonfield writes:

The Gospel according to the Hebrews is a literary outlaw with a
price on its head; but in spite of the scholarly hue and cry it
still evades capture. Neither monastic libraries nor Egyptian
rubbish heaps have so far yielded up a single leaf of this important
document....

For behind Hebrews lies the unknown potentialities of the Nazarene
tradition, which may confirm or contradict some of the most
cherished beliefs of Orthodox Christianity. It is useless for
certain theologians to designate Hebrews as "secondary" on the
evidence of the present fragmentary remains preserved in
quotation. ...

Judged by ancient testimony alone it is indisputable that Hebrews
has the best right of any Gospel to be considered a genuine
apostolic production;...

Here is obviously a most valuable witness, perhaps the most valuable
witness to the truth about [Yeshua] whom even a jury composed
entirely of orthodox Christians could not despise, and who ought to
be brought into court. But the witness is missing, and all that we
have is a few reported statements of his taken long ago...
(Hugh Schonfield; According to the Hebrews; 1937; pp. 13-18)

The appearance to Ya'akov (James), ...is not mentioned elsewhere in
the New Testament but is reported in one of the apocryphal books,
the Gospel according to the Hebrews...
(Jewish New Testament Commentary by David Stern 1Cor. 15:7)

To my knowledge this is the first complete reconstruction of the text:

http://www.lulu.com/nazarene

As some of you know, the original Jewish Believers in Yeshua (the
Nazarenes) used an apocryphal Gospel known as B'SORAH HA-EVRIM:
The Goodnews according to the Hebrews.

Eusebius wrote of this Gospel in the fourth century:

"the especial delight of those of the Hebrews who have accepted
Messiah"
(Eusebius; Eccl. Hist. 3:25:5)

And Jerome referred (again in the fourth century) to it as:

"the Gospel which the Nazarenes and Ebionites use"
(Jerome; On Mat. 12:13)

This Gospel has been lost for centuries but has finally been restored!

Finally a complete flowing text of the Gospel according to the
Hebrews is available... for the first time in centuries and for the
first time ever in English.

This Gospel was used by the ancient Nazarenes and Ebionites.
Scholars have long recognized the profound importance of this
document. I t has been lost for centuries, but has finally been reconstructed
from ancient source documents.

This edition includes:

* Several pages of introductory material including evidence that
B'sorah HaEvrim is the original source behind Matthew, Mark, Luke
and even John.

* A complete flowing text, 29 chapters including many events absent
from our four canonical gospels.

* An appendix with all of the primary citations by "Church Fathers"
listed out and cited in English and in most cases also giving those
citations in either the Greek or Latin in which the given "Church
Father" wrote.

* A Nazarene commentary on the B'sorah Ha'Evrim.

B'sorah HaEvrim
The Goodnews according to the Hebrews

Shalom;

your proposed Perspective of the Ancient Essenes has been discarded by scholars
with recent research in the three types of Judaisms that existed in the
intertestament period. There was a Religio-Philosophical Association of Sects
that we today call "Essenes" of which the Qumran Sect was associated. This
Association had its center in Damascus. For the Early Church started by Jesus
and His Disciples were part if this Association as Nazarenes; there were others
of this Association; called Therapeutea, Nazarites as John the baptist was. For
this why Paul as a Pharisee went to Damascus to arrest the leaders what he
viewed as a Heretical Judaism we know as Essene Judaism. Josephus states at that
time there existed three forms of Judaism; Pharisee, Saducee and Essene.
Rabbinical Judaism has decendant from Pharisee Judaism while the other two have
gone extinct among the Jews.

On August 12th, 1553, at the petition of Pietro, Cardinal Caraffa, the
Inquisitor General, Pope Julius III signed a decree banning the Talmud in Rome.
The decree was executed on September 9th (Rosh HaShanna) and anything that
looked like the Talmud, that is, anything written in Hebrew characters was
confiscated as the Jewish homes and synagogues were ravished. Jean DuTillet,
Bishop of Brieu, France was visiting Rome at the time. DuTillet was astounded to
take notice of a Hebrew manuscript of Matthew among the other Hebrew
manuscripts. DuTillet acquired the manuscript and returned to France, depositing
it in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris. It remains there to this day as Hebrew
ms. No. 132.

While most scholars have ignored the DuTillet Hebrew version of Matthew, Hugh
Schonfield stated his opinion that this Hebrew text underlies our current Greek
text. Schonfield writes:

....certain linguistic proofs ... seem to show that the Hebrew
text [DuTillet] underlies the Greek, and that certain
renderings in the Greek, may be due to a misread Hebrew
original.
(An Old Hebrew Text of St. Matthew's Gospel; 1927, p. 17)

Now available from WNAE for the first time in ten years:

Text) Third Edition

Shalom  all,
      The ancient Essenes were primarly a group that more or less stayed to
themselves and cared for the own brotherhood. They sought not to participate in
a political life nor to concern themselves with such things. They sought after
G*D and tried to live their life in the right path as they understood it. They
viewed oath taking in a strict sense and opposed "praying" to the earthly
"Theos" for benefits. They viewed their religion as caring for each other and
not subjecting themselves willfully to any "earthly" authority.
      If my understanding is correct, I am wondering why I am seeing more and

Understanding Paul Intensive Seminar

Paul is almost certainly the most misunderstood author in the Scriptures.
Finally, there is a book that sets straight many of the misunderstandings of
Paul, even some of those circulating in the Messianic, Two House and Sacred Name
movements.

In order to grasp the confusion surrounding the understanding of Paul, let us
examine five verses as they appear in the King James Version.

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
(James 2:24)

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his
sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
(Romans 3:20)

(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law
shall be justified.)
(Romans 2:13)

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of
Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified
by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the
law shall no flesh be justified.
(Galatians 2:16)

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is
written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written
in the book of the law to do them.
(Galatians 3:10)

OK, so we are justified by works and not by faith only, but by deeds of the law
no flesh shall be justified, but doers of the law are justified, yet a man is
not justified by works of the law however those who are of the works of the law
are under a curse but we are cursed if we don't keep the law either. Oy vey!

There is no wonder people have a problem understanding Paul.

Come join us at the Understanding Paul Seminar.
To be held in Hurst Texas (in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area)
We have a location picked but have not reserved it yet. When it is reserved we
will post it.
LIMITED SEATING (No more than 35 to 40 people can be accommodated)
Sept. 25, 26 & 27 – Note that the 27th in the evening is the beginning of Yom
Kippur on the Rabbinic Calendar.

When you have finished this seminar you will understand that all of the above
statements are true and they do not actually contradict each other.

In this seminar I will show that the NT itself tells us that Paul's teachings
were hard to understand, misunderstood and twisted even in his time. We will
look at what Paul actually said and seeking to understand what he really meant.
We will look at some commonly misunderstood passages including Gal. 4:21-5:2 and
apply Jewish
Hermeneutics to see what this passage is actually saying (you may be surprised).
In the book shows that Paul was actually a powerful Torah advocate.  We will
look at every verse of every book Paul wrote.

The intent of this seminar is to go line by line through the teachings of Paul
both from the original Hebrew and Aramaic, and from the Greek version. This
leaves no part of Paul left to be misunderstood. No part of Paul will go
uncovered. Participants will receive a three ring binder with outlines, handouts
and notes and have direct access to Dr. Trimm throughout the seminar. This
seminar will have limited seating and is especially intended to raise funds for
WNAE as we face financial short falls. As such we are asking participants to
donate $200.00 to WNAE. We are willing to hold this Seminar for as few as three
people, and are planning on no more that 35 or 40. If there is a larger response
then we can and will accommodate a larger group.

The Hebraic Roots Version (http://www.lulu.com/nazarene) (now in print for eight
years! Revised E-version now avaiable) (which began as the Semitic New Testament
Project) was the result of a ten year project to produce a new and accurate
translation of the New Testament taken primarily from old Hebrew and Aramaic
sources. Unlike most translations this edition is not rooted in a Greek
Hellenistic text. Instead this translation will seek to understand the text of
the New Testament from the languages in which it was originally written. This is
important because there are some passages in the NT which do not make sense at
all in Greek, but only begin to make sense when we look at them in Hebrew and
Aramaic.


Acts 11:27-30

And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch. Then one of
them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was
going to be a great famine throughout all THE WORLD, which also
happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. Then the talmidim, each
according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brothers
dwelling IN JUDEA. This they also did, and sent it to the elders by
the hands of Barnabas and Saul.


Now this doesn't make sense at all, why would those in Antioch send
relief to those dwelling IN JUDEA if the famine was to strike all THE
WORLD. They would be facing famine themselves.

The Jewish New Testament translates the Greek word as "throughout the
Roman Empire" but this has the same problem, since Antioch and Judea
were both in the Roman Empire.

The solution lies in the fact that the word for "WORLD" in the
Aramaic manuscripts is ERA (Strong's #772) the Aramaic form of the
Hebrew word ERETZ (Strong's 776). This word can mean "world" (as in
Prov. 19:4) "earth" (as in Dan. 2:35) or "land" (as in Dan. 9:15)
and is often used as a euphemism for "The Land of Israel" (as in Dan.
9:6). Certainly the word here is not meant to mean "world" but "land
of Israel."


Mt. 26:6 = Mk. 14:3

And when Y'shua was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,
(KJV)


As any Bible student knows, lepers were not permitted to live in the
city (see Lev. 13:46).

Stern's JNT attempts to fix the problem by translating:

Stern's JNT has:
Yeshua was in Beit-Anyah, at the hom of Shim'on, the man who had had
the repulsive skin disease.

But in fact the Greek does NOT say that Shim'on HAD BEEN a Leper.
The Greek calls him "Simon the Leper".

Since ancient Hebrew and Aramaic were written
without vowels, there was no distinction between the Aramaic words
GAR'BA (leper)and GARABA (jar maker or jar merchant). Since in this
story a woman pours oil from a jar it is apparent that Simon was a
jar merchant or jar maker and not a leper.


Mt. 19:12 & Acts 8:26f

....there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the
Kingdom of Heaven's sake....
--Mt. 19:12 NKJV

So he [Phillip] arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a
eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians,
who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to
worship.
--Acts 8:27 NKJV

In Mt. 19 Stern's JNT translates the same Greek phrase for "eunuch"
as "do not mary"; "without desire"; "been castrated" and "renounced
marraige" to avoid this problem. He translates the same Greek word
as "eunuch" in Acts 8:27 just as the KJV does.

The man in Acts 8:27 appears to be a proselyte to Judaism since he
seems to be making the Torah-required pilgrimage to Jerusalem (Dt.
16:16). The Torah, however, forbids a eunuch both from becoming a
proselyte Jew, and from worshiping at the Temple (Dt. 23:1f). This
also raises the question of why one would become a eunuch (be
castrated) for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. After all eunuchs
are excluded from the assembly of Israel. The word for "eunuch" in
the Aramaic manuscripts of both of these passages is M'HAIMNA which
can mean "eunuch" but can also mean "believer" or "faithful one" as
it clearly means here. In Mt. 19 it appears as a sort of wordplkay
bbecsue it also refers to one who is faithful in marraige.


Mt. 19:24 = Mk. 10:25 = Lk. 18:25

...it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.

Stern's JNT has "...it is easier for a camel to pass through a
needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."

The word for "camel" in the Aramaic manuscripts is GAMLA which can
mean "camel" but can also refer to a "large rope," which is certainly
the meaning here.

Jn. 12:11 & 15:16

One word that the Greek translators often misunderstood was the
Aramaic word 'EZAL which normally means "to go" or "to depart" but is
used idiomatically in Aramaic to mean that some action goes forward
and that something progresses "more and more".

One case where the Greek translator misunderstood this word and
translated to literally is in Jn. 12:11:

Because that by reason of him many of the Jews
went away (!?!?!?!?), and believed on Jesus. (KJV)

Stern's JNT has:

since it was because of him that large numbers of the Judeans were
leaving their leaders and putting their trust in Yeshua.

Note that Stern adds the phrase "their leaders" which does NOT appear
in the Greek in an attempt to force the Greek to make some kind of
sense.

Now I have translated the Aramaic of this passage as follows:

because many of the Judeans, on account of him,
were trusting more and more ('EZAL) in Yeshua.

And Jn. 15:16:

...that ye should go and bring forth fruit...
KJV

...to go and bear fruit...
JNT

I have translated from the Aramaic:

...that you also should bear fruit more and more ('EZAL)...

OK that is enough for today I will post more soon.

This Thursday and Friday on the Truth in Torah podcast we have a very special
presentation: Seven Seals, Seven Thunders in two parts. In this presentation you
will learn about the seven seals of the book of Revelation. You will learn the
answer to questions like: Who is the anti-Messiah? What does the number 666
actually signify?
What do the four horses of the apocalypse signify? What do the rest of the seven
seals signify? Learn the answers to these questions and more on Truth in Torah:

Seven Seals, Seven Thunders part 1 on Truth in Torah Thursday four times:
5 AM; 11 AM; 5PM; 11PM CENTRAL TIME at
http://www.messianicvoice.com

Seven Seals, Seven Thunders part 2 on Truth in Torah Friday four times:
5 AM; 11 AM; 5PM; 11PM CENTRAL TIME at
http://www.messianicvoice.com

Just as there are 2 messiahs in the DSS there are also in my opinion 2
messiahs in the book of rev.! The first one who rules the earth with a rode of
iron during the millennium(The King or messiah of Israel) and the second one who
comes back after the end of the millennium(the preist or messiah of Aaron).

The TEACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in the DEAD SEA SCROLLS,       In the dead sea
scrolls there are 2 messiahs, and the TEACHER OF RIGHEOUSNESS is one of them. 
The TEACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is a priest in the Jerusalem Temple. So he can not
be Jesus Christ. However in the gospel of john it does indicate that the beloved
disciple is a priest because he can enter the high priests home and the guards
seem to know him and let him and PETER in because obviously he is a priest in
the temple. There is no doute that The apostle James Zebedee was TEACTHER OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS because Jesus called him JAMES THE RIGHTOUS and also THE JUST ONE.
Both James Zebedee and the teacher of righteousness are called JUST and
RIGHTEOUS. Both are priest. Both are leaders of a christian group in or around
Jerusalem. Both were persecuted by the high priest in Jerusalem.
The D.S.S. say there are 2 messiahs, The Messiahs of Aaron and Israel.
Scattered throughout the documents are several concepts which may refer to the
interrelation between Hierarchy and humanity - the way the spiritual kingdom
makes itself manifest in our own world of form. One expression is the idea of
God establishing His Kingdom on earth by means of a "plant root" or "eternal
plantation."

The rule reads: "... the Community council shall be founded on truth ... like an
everlasting plantation, a holy house for Israel and the foundation of the holy
of holies for Aaron ... It will be the tested rampart, the precious cornerstone
...". (CR-VIII)

The depiction of the Community council as "an everlasting plantation" may refer
to the energies of the Hierarchy, continually cultivating and nurturing the
human kingdom. In another metaphor expressing the same concept, humanity is the
foundation and "precious cornerstone" for the earthly temple, the expression of
God in form.

In Judaism the terms Israel and Aaron are used as comparative concepts. "Israel"
refers to the earthly realm while "Aaron" refers to the heavenly. In the above
passage the "holy house for Israel" is humanity, the kingdom of souls, being
nurtured and cultivated by the "holy of holies for Aaron" - the spiritual
Hierarchy.

A similar concept - that of
"the two Messiahs" - has remained baffling to most scholars. They are called the
Messiahs of Aaron and Israel, and are often depicted as one person residing over
a heavenly kingdom on earth. Some passages mention a future coming of the two
Messiahs, possibly a reference to the Second Coming. We read at the end of a
long list of rules: "And this is the exact interpretation of the regulations by
which (they shall be ruled until there arises the Messiah) of Aaron and Israel.
He shall atone for their sins." (DD-XIV)

This concept may relate to the idea of overshadowing, whereby a great adept uses
the body of a disciple to "pour His energy and force for the helping of the
world". (TCF, p.749) So did the Buddha overshadow the disciple Gautama, and
Maitreya the disciple Jesus.

Shalom Chaverim,

Well folks a lot is going on.  Yah is moving these days.  As a M'vakar
(Overseer) it is my job to feed he sheep and I am seeking to use every tool at
my disposal to feed the sheep in earnest.  While it is my job to feed the sheep
and to protect the sheep, it is not my job to lord over the sheep.  I will not
join the ranks of Religious Overlords who would lord over the sheep.  Frankly I
am to busy trying to feed the sheep to get involved in lording over the sheep.

Folks we do need your support.  We have a power bill due tomorrow and right now
we do not have the means to pay it (we are about $100 short).  Please show your
support for the work we are doing here to reach the lost with Torah and Messiah,
new believers with milk and mature believers with meat.

Thank you for your help in allowing us (all of us together) to do our Father's
business, may YHWH bless you in every way.

Shalom Chaverim,

the job of teaching Torah and Messiah worldwide.

Thank you for your help in allowing us (all of us together) to do our Father's
business, may YHWH bless you in every way.

REVERSAL OF YESHUA'S CONVICTION
AND GUILTY VERDICT ON CAIAPHAS

We, the International Nazarene Beit Din find the following errors in Yeshua's
original trial:

1. Yeshua's trial was held at night yet the Mishna clearly states that a capitol
trial may not be held at night (m.San. 4:1)

2. Yeshua was remanded to Rome for sentencing immediately, however the Mishna
requires sentencing to be delayed by one day in order for the judges to properly
consider the case. (m.San. 5:5)

3. The trial was overseen by Kathros ben Yosef (Caiaphas)  who was appointed in
18 CE by the Roman procurator who preceded Pilate, Valerius Gratus. Although a
High Priest is supposed to serve for life, the preceding High Priest was still
alive when he took office. He was not a Levite but an Edomite convert illegally
installed by Caesar's command.
Because he was improperly installed in the office of High Priest, his rulings
are invalid.

Due to these errors the International Nazarene Beit Din declares a mistrial and
rules that Yeshua is entitled posthumously to a new trial.

The charge is that of blasphemy (Matt. 26:65) . Having reviewed the transcript
of the original trial (Matt. 26:57-66) and read the testimony of the witnesses,
as well as that of Yeshua himself, we do hereby reverse Caiaphas' ruling and
exonerate Yeshua of the charge of blasphemy.

We do also find based on Caiaphas' own statement before the trial "that it was
better that one man should die for the people" (John 18:14) that Caiaphas
engaged in a conspiracy to use his office in order to intentionally convict
Yeshua without a fair trial for political gain. We do therefore posthumously
find Caiaphas guilty of murder.

The Book of Enoch was treasured by Jude as an inspired book of
prophecy authored by Enoch himself:

And Chanokh [Enoch], the seventh from Adam,
prophesied about these men saying:
Behold, YHWH comes with ten thousands of his set-apart-ones,
to execute judgment on all, co convict all who are wicked
among them of their wicked deeds which they have committed in
a wicked way, and all the harsh things which wicked sinners
have spoken against him.
