Rant Nazarenism is true Christianity.

James

Puritanical Christianist
Nazarenism is true Christianity.

The Proto-Nazarenes formed the first and only Christian Church under Yahushua of Nazareth. Yahushua of Nazareth was the direct founder of the Nazarene Church. The Nazarene Church became a faith-based, egalitarian collective composed of both Israelites and non-Israelites who only followed the Trinity's Word.

The Proto-Catholics strongly opposed the Nazarene Church. The Proto-Catholics wanted the Trinity's authority and formed their own man-made institution with man-made traditions and man-made rituals to undermine Him.

The Proto-Nazarenes would have strongly opposed the Proto-Catholic institutionization.

The Catholic Institution is a branch of the Proto-Catholic Institution. The Proto-Nazarenes would have strongly opposed the Catholic Institution.

The Orthodox Institution is a branch of the Proto-Catholic Institution. The Proto-Nazarenes would have strongly opposed the Orthodox Institution.
 
What the hell are you talking about
He’s basically saying that, in his opinion, the earliest form of a Christian community in history, the original followers of Christ (the “Nazarenes”; read chapter twenty-four of Acts for further information), formed the basis for what a true Christian church must look identical to, and that the Pharisees (as we’d know them, the Jews) formed the basis for what modern Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy are. I don’t share this opinion, but I thought that perhaps simplifying his word choice for you would help you understand his view.
Basically,
>Proto-Nazarene = Original, physical follower of Jesus Christ
>Proto-Catholic = Pharisee
>Yahushua of Nazareth = Jesus Christ

No, the Proto-Catholic Institution was formed by non-Israelites who only "followed" the New Testament. It developed into Clerical Traditionalism.

The Pharisee Institution was formed by the Edomites who only "followed" the Old Testament. It developed into Rabbinical Traditionalism.

The Nazarene Church was formed by the Israelites who followed both the Old Testament and the New Testament in a complete and unified manner. The Nazarenes were persecuted by both the Proto-Catholics and the Pharisees.

Ah, my mistake. I thought you were equating the Pharisees to the Catholics and Eastern Orthodox folk. I’ve heard that comparison once before.
