There is a huge error in the thinking of Church caused by some erroneous teaching by popular preachers. What is the role God has for the Jews in His redemption plan? Has the Church 'replaced' Israel? Has God failed in His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? What is the role of the True Israel / True Jew and the Church together in God's redemptive ministry? Read the entire history of God's redemption plan still continuing and will be completed with a huge role by the Messianic Jews and the Church together in the near future. Spiritual warfare history can also be understood from this presentation. Be blessed and be a blessing! Nirmal Nathan, Trichy, India.

Book of Daniel, Gospels, Epistle to Thessalonian church and the Book of Revelation give details of an unholy alliance of wicked forces in spiritual realm and on earth. There have been 7 empires described in the Bible impacting God's people in one way or another. Behind each of these 7 empires were evil spirits of power controlling them for specific purpose. These spirits are at work even today working against God and His people, to bring in the unholy trinity of Satan, Antichrist and False Prophet into ultimate dominion on earth, very soon. Mysteriously United Nations, European Union, Statesmen of repute in world governments, financial institutions etc are controlled by highly secretive Illuminati and its tentacles like Freemasons, Club of Rome, New Age and so on. These are highly secretive in their strategy and manoeuvres but God's people can discern and identify them and keep themselves at a safe distance. This presentation helps identify these evil forces and their strategies. May this be an eye opener for the Church in spiritual warfare!

The similarities in Christianity to the Norse religions are represented by the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son who is Jesus and the Holy Spirit. One God in three persons, the three persons are distinct, yet are one in substance, essence and nature. In this context, "nature" is what one is, while a "person" is who one is.
There are many aspects of other religions that track with the Islamic faith, Islam teaches the advent of a literal Hell for those who disobey God and commit gross sin, Christianity supports this aspect as well. Those who obey and submit to God will be rewarded with their own place in Paradise, which is not supported in Christianity, but both agree that sinners will be punished by fire.
What is the true test of Godliness? How can one fellowship with the true church without being contaminated by the religious impositions of men of today?
The Prince of this world has long been striving and seems almost close to achieving that victory. it is the natural result of the error by the Church; a lowering of the standard of the Kingdom of God through the introduction of the gospel of convenience, a walk with God without transformation of life , a Christianity without the Cross. The church surrendering this basis of her power and legitimacy has made her to exist in a perfect and harmonious accord with the world.
The visible church has virtually created her own ‘GOD’ a religious deity who seems satisfied with his subjects excesses ,cares little about their sins, highly appreciates their works of virtue, even though these were predicated on human pride , and looks with pleasure upon their bold deeds and intellectual displays. Packages of doctrines, whole pedestals of understanding and range of thinking system which form the basis of people’s faith have been tailored to satisfy the cravings of fallen men.
The God of the bible has been left of his own House. His city lies in virtual ruins while the city wall are continually been compromised so that strangers may enter at will.

In this study I have explored a number of resources to glean information on the god Baal in order to understand why this god has been such a rival of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How can it be that this god, who is no god at all, could be such a rival to Jehovah that God's people could not be kept from worshiping him, rather than the God who brought them out of Egypt, and did all kinds of amazing miracles on their behalf? The battles to stop the people from this false idolatry seem endless as we read the Old Testament. They may succeed for awhile, but soon the people are back following the worship of this enemy to Jehovah. What is the secret to the power of this god made up by the minds of pagans? How could the worship of this deity become so popular that the only way God could eliminate it was to send his people in great judgment out of the Promised Land that he had led them into? The goal of this study is to make sense of this mystery.
This is a study of Jesus being born in Bethlehem. Some deny it, but the Bible makes it clear. There is also much interesting history about Bethlehem in these writings.
This is a study of Jesus as a young child. God sent His Son to be a truly human being needing to go from infancy to adulthood. Jesus lived the childhood life.
Exploring ancient christian mystery traditionsDavid G
Here we will explore the mystery traditions and connectivity between Venus, Mary the Magdalene, Jesus the Christ, royal marriage rules, fallen angels, the Nephilim, a hidden tradition of Mother Nature, and how all these things tie so tightly together.
I have researched the meaning behind the 5-pointed star, how Epochs are measured, why Venus was important (meditate on why Satanists hijacked and corrupted this symbol, just as they did the Lion of Judah constellation, remaking it Orion; depicting him killing that Lion), why royals were forbidden to breed with common people (a Nephilim promise to God in the days of Noah), Jesus the Christ's hidden marital status, his intimate relationship with Mary Magdalene, of her true ecclesiastic status and royal pedigree, and the secret Mother Goddess we worship alongside the Father as One Being. Yet, one needs also to consider the throbbing headache of trying to understand how all these seemingly disparate things so inseparably bind together, once we explore deeply enough to find their initial points of connection.

Unknown God Jesus Christ & Abundant LifeNirmal Nathan
Too often we come across people who believe that all religion lead to the same god and that all gods are good. Many respect Jesus Christ in addition to their deities. Very few know who really Jesus Christ is. Hence, this ppt seeks to lead them to the fuller knowledge of who is and what Jesus Christ offers and on what terms.

Hebrew scripture nuggets hebraic heritage that the church lost- part 2Nirmal Nathan
Hebraic heritage is rich in revealing spiritual treasures to lovers of the Word of God. Only a Jew would understand the idioms, phrases and figures of speech in the original script. While being translated these either lose meaning or even lead us to erroneous interpretations. This power-point with quite a few samples of such treasures lost by the Church, seeks to create an interest in the viewer to learn the Bible from Jewish Perspective. Praise be to the Lord Yeshua Hamaschiach (Jesus Christ) for His servants among Messianic Jews and gentile Christians who strive to bring this heritage back to the family of God.
Shalom!
Hebrew Scripture Nuggets- Hebraic Heritage that the Church Lost -Part 1Nirmal Nathan
Jesus Christ is a Jew. The authors of all the books in the Bible , except Dr Luke are all Jews. They wrote to their Jewish audience with a Jewish mindset using Jewish cultural idioms, phrases and proverbs. The audience were initially all Jewish and later mixed with gentile disciples who understood these. Somewhere the Church severed its links with the Jewish people and Hebrew language, thereby losing a vast and rich heritage in scriptures. Misinterpretations and doctrinal differences began to dissect and divide the church into splinter groups. In these End Times, the Lord in His grace, is restoring the Hebraic Heritage to the Church, which truly seeks to know Him and worship Him in spirit and in truth and move ahead in its mission. These series of power-points contain the rich learnings from the superb Timothy Programme International authored by Dr. Karl D Coke, who learnt under Messianic Jewish and gentile Bible scholars. Read through and be blessed.
De'Greecing' the Church- Augustine's / Thomas Aquinas' errors damaging the Ch...Nirmal Nathan
Saint Augustine, Philo, Origen, Clement & Saint Thomas Aquinas have seriously damaged the Church and the Christian faith due to their Greek learning and application to the scripture interpretation. However, God chose to reveal Himself and His ways through the Jews. Hence, the scriptures are to be studied with the viewpoint of the Jews. This makes huge difference - with Salvation itself at stake. The faith and commitment of these early Church leaders to The Lord are not questioned but only their method of interpretation of certain vital doctrines. This power-point seeks to give a detailed explanation of how the Greek thinking entered the Church and wrongly influenced and damaged Christian faith. Way to escape this adulteration is given. I strongly recommend you to listen to the audio/video messages of Pr. David Pawson and Dr. Karl D Coke and several of the Messianic Jewish Scholars for further study.

This presentation seeks to bring clarity to a Christian seeking to learn what exactly transpired in the Lord's Supper on the night before betrayal of the Lord Jesus Christ. The "Why" of the ingredients of the meal and the 'Manner' it was utilized will bring us to realize the amazing truths behind the commonly called Lord's Supper or Holy Communion.

REL 110RS
Major Jewish Groups Video
The Sadducees
Sadducees traced their lineage to Zadok, the high priest under King David. They acquired
wealth and were politically and religiously conservative. To secure their inherited status, they
cooperated with Roman rulers.
Sadducees were associated with the priesthood, presided over Temple activities, and remained
close to the Torah.
The New Testament and Josephus (Jewish historian of the time) explain Sadducees did not
believe in resurrection.
“The Sadducees came upon them, annoyed because they were teaching the people and
proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead” (Acts 4:1-2).
“The doctrine of the Sadducees is this: That souls die with the bodies” (Antiquities 18.1.4).
The Pharisees
The Pharisees were pious and sought to democratize religion. For them, the family table was
the table of the Lord. They wanted to consecrate everyday life and specified in detail how to
love God.
Pharisees set clear guidelines for behavior on the Sabbath but were accused of being legalistic.
They were associated with legalism and hypocrisy (Mt. 23), but this negative portrayal is
exaggerated. Pharisees allowed for oral interpretation of the Torah to provide flexibility for
changing circumstances.
Pharisees undermined the Sadducees’ authority by relativizing the importance of the Temple
and its priests. Once Romans destroyed the Temple, Pharisees took over Judaism since priests
were out of business.
Unlike Sadducees, Pharisees neither inherited status nor earned a living from their religious life.
They earned their living from manual labor (Paul of Tarsus was a Pharisee and tentmaker).
Similar to early Christian belief, Pharisees believed in resurrection. Christians and Pharisees
also recruited from the same population. This competition may explain their negative image in
the New Testament.
The Essenes
The Essenes lived in communities apart from cities to avoid moral corruption.
Essenes were dedicated to living as pure a Jewish life as possible. Some were celibate, they
rejected riches, and had all things in common.
The Zealots
Zealots believed Israel’s problems were a result of Roman occupation. With the elimination of
Roman rule, God’s rule could be established. Zealots used guerrilla tactics to attack the
Romans.

Baha'is and Jews: Some Personal ReflectionsRon Price
Over the last decade, 2005 to 2014, since my retirement from FT, PT and most volunteer work, after an employment-and-student life of half a century, 1954 to 2004, I have often written about the Jews and Judaism with comparisons and contrasts to a people and a religion I have now been associated with for more than 60 years, the Baha'is and the Baha'i Faith. The following 27 pages and 12,000 words provide a series of items containing, as they do, some of these comparisons and contrasts, among other aspects of both the Jewish world and the Baha'i world.
I put the following compilation together after watching Simon Schama's "The Story of the Jews" on SBSONE TV in Tasmania, on 22/3/'14, 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. His interest in the identity of the Jew, now and in history, stimulated my own interest in the identity of the Baha'i, now and in history.-Ron Price, Pioneering Over Five Epochs, 24/3/'14.

Lesson 6 : Jewish Sects at the Time of ChristDam Frank
A sect is a name given to a group of people who break away from a larger, established religious denomination because of a set of beliefs that differ in some key ways.
Many views and practices of a sect will overlap with those of the larger group, other beliefs will be distinct enough to warrant a schism or division between
the groups.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

27. PHARISEES
a group of influential Jews active in Palestine from
2nd century BCE through 1st century CE;
28. "Pharisees" probably means "separated ones" in Hebrew,
referring to their strict observance of laws and traditions
(Luke 18:10-12).
Long-time political and religious rivals of the Sadducees,
vying for influence among the rulers and the people.
Mostly laymen, but possibly also some priests (from the
tribe of Levi) or even members of the Sanhedrin (Acts 5:34).
Followed not only the laws of the Hebrew Bible, but also
the "traditions of the elders" (Mark 7:1-13; Matt 15:1-20).
Leaders were called "rabbis" or "teachers", such as
Nicodemus (John 3:1-10; 7:50; 19:39) and Gamaliel (Acts
5:34; 22:3).
Also had trained "scribes" (Mark 2:16; Acts 23:9) and
"disciples" (Mark 2:18; Matt 22:16; Luke 5:33).
29. PHARISEES
NT Gospels portray them mainly as opponents of Jesus
(Mark 8:11; 10:2), who conspire with the Herodians to kill
Jesus (Mark 3:6).
Some of Jesus' harshest polemics are directed against the
"hypocrisy" and "blindness" of the Pharisees (Matt 23;
John 9).
In contrast to Sadducees (Mark 12:18-27), Pharisees
believed in the resurrection of the dead (Acts 23:1-8).
Paul himself was a Pharisee (Phil 3:5; Acts 23:6; 26:5),
as were some other early Christians (Acts 15:5)
30. SADDUCEES
even more influential than the Pharisees;
they followed the laws of the Hebrew Bible (the Torah),
but rejected newer traditions.
31. SADDUCEES
"Sadducees" comes from the Hebrew
tsaddiqim ("righteous ones"),
which may refer to the way they wished to live their lives.
The name may also derive from Zadok, the high priest under
King David (1 Kings 1:26), since many Sadducees were
priests.
Long-time political and religious rivals of the Pharisees,
although their influence was more with the wealthy ruling elites.
Probably also rivals of the Herodians, since they had
supported the Hasmonean Jewish rulers against King Herod.
32. SADDUCEES
Closely associated with the Jerusalem Temple and with the
ruling council ("Sanhedrin") of the Jews (Acts 4:1; 5:17; 23:6).
Did not believe in life after death (Mark 12:18-27; Luke
20:27) or in angels or spirits (Acts 23:8).
NT Gospels portray them (often together with the Pharisees)
mainly as opponents of Jesus (Matt 16:1-12; Mark 18:12-27).
But they also rejected the teachings of the Pharisees, esp.
their oral traditions and newer innovations.
33. ESSENES
Originally a group of priests, founded and/or led by a
"Teacher of Righteousness" during the early Maccabean/
Hasmonean era.
They regarded the Jerusalem priests as illegitimate, since
those were not Zadokites (from the family of the high priest
Zadok).
They rejected the validity of the Temple worship, and thus
refused to attend the festivals or support the Jerusalem
Temple.
34. ESSENES
They expected God to send a great prophet and
two different "Messiahs" (anointed leaders),
one kingly and one priestly.
They lived a communitarian life with strict membership
requirements, rules, and rituals;
they probably also practiced celibacy.
35. ESSENES
Some scholars think John the Baptist (also Jesus?) was
closely associated with the Essenes
.
Monastery destroyed by the Roman Army ca. 68 AD, during
the Jewish War against Rome, which Essenes probably
considered the final battle between the forces of good (the
true Israelites) and evil (the Romans and their collaborators).
Dozens of complete scrolls and thousands of written
fragments were discovered from 1947 to mid-1950's in caves
near Qumran.
36. HERODIANS
a faction that supported the policies and government of the
Herodian family, especially during the time of Herod Antipas,
ruler over Galilee and Perea during the lifetimes of John the
Baptist and of Jesus.
In Mark 3:6 they conspire with the Pharisees to kill Jesus,
still fairly early during Jesus' ministry in Galilee.
In Mark 12:13-17 and Matt 22:16 they join some Pharisees
in trying to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes to
Caesar.
37. SCRIBES
"Scribes" did not form their own party, but could belong to
other groups (e.g. "the scribes of the Pharisees" in Mark 2:16;
Acts 23:9).
Most of their duties involved writing, e.g.
producing legal documents, recording deeds,
copying scriptures, teaching people, etc.
Since they specialized in the interpretation of the Jewish Law
(Torah), "scribes" are sometimes translated and regarded as
"lawyers".
38. SCRIBES
The Gospels usually portray scribes (along with chief priests,
elders, and/or Pharisees) as opponents of Jesus
who actively sought his death (Mark 11:27).
The Acts of the Apostles also portrays them as
opponents of the early Christians (Acts 4:5; 6:12).
But there are a few exceptions:
some scribes are neutral (Matt 13:52), or even praised by
Jesus (Mark 12:28-34), or rise to defend Paul (Acts 23:9).

C U R S E W A S I N C O R P O R AT E D I N T H E
SYNAGOGUE LITURGY BY THE TRADITIONAL
JEWS:

• COUNCIL OF NICEA 325 AD:
“WE OUGHT NOT TO HAVE ANYTHING IN
COMMON WITH THE JEWS…WE DESIRE,
DEAREST BRETHREN TO SEPARATE
OURSELVES FROM THE DETESTABLE
COMPANY OF THE JEWS…”
• A MAJOR FOCUS AT THAT COUNCIL WAS TO
SEPARATE FOREVER THE CELEBRATION OF
EASTER FROM THE TIMING OF PASSOVER.
57. PASS OVER OR PAGANISM ?
BIBLE OR MOVING WITH THE TIMES?
COMPROMISE DECISION BY THE CHURCH LEADERS:
• PASSOVER SECOND HALF OF MATZA BREAD
(AFIKOMEN) AND THIRD CUP OF REDEMPTION
ARE RETAINED.
• REST OF PASSOVER MEAL ARE DELETED.
• COMPLETE SPLIT FROM
BIBLICAL PASSOVER FESTIVAL OF THE LORD.

• BY THE FIFTH CENTURY, SUCCESSIVE ACTS BY
CHURCH COUNCILS LED ULTIMATELY TO THE
DECLARATION OF ALL JEWS AS SECOND
CLASS CITIZENS IN EVERY CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITY.
• UNTIL THE ENLIGHTENMENT, MUSLIM TREATMENT
OF THE JEWS WAS OFTEN CONSIDERED
RELATIVELY ENLIGHTENED BY COMPARISON WITH
CHRISTIANITY.
59. GREAT SIN OF CHURCH
• THE SOURCE OF THESE ATROCITIES:
THE CHURCH FATHERS WHO FIXED IN
CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY THE PERSPECTIVE OF
JEWS AS “CHRIST KILLERS.”
• BISHOP GREGORY OF NYSSA (331-396 CE)
CALLS THE JEWS: “SLAYERS OF THE LORD,
MURDERERS OF THE PROPHETS, ENEMIES
OF GOD…”
60. GREAT SIN OF CHURCH
• A MONK CALLED JOHN CHRYSOSTOM

BELLIES… IN SHAMELESSNESS AND GREED
THEY SURPASS EVEN PIGS AND GOATS…YOU
SHOULD TURN AWAY FROM THEM AS THE PEST
AND PLAGUE OF THE HUMAN RACE.”
62. GREAT SIN OF CHURCH
THOSE ANCIENT SERMONS, IN POPULAR
CIRCULATION FOR CENTURIES, REMAIN THE BASIS
OF A CONTINUING CHURCH BIAS ABOUT JEWS AS
INHERENTLY EVIL.
63. GREAT SIN OF CHURCH
• CHURCH LITERALLY OUTLAWED ANY CONTINUING
SPIRITUAL CONTACT OF JEWS AND CHRISTIANS—
FORBIDDING SHARED WORSHIP ON THE JEWISH
SABBATH AND DEFINITELY NOT AT PASSOVER
(COUNCILS OF ANTIOCH, 341 CE & LODICEA, 434 CE.)
• FINALLY, THESE COUNCILS DECLARED AS
HERETICAL THE REMNANTS OF THE MESSIANIC
JEWISH CONGREGATIONS IN NORTH AFRICA,
OFTEN CALLED EBIONITES, WHICH INCLUDED THE
LAST REMAINING MEMBERS OF YESHUA'S OWN
FAMILY.
64. AUGUSTINIAN ERROR

• PL REFER “DE-GREECING THE CHURCH” IN
WWW.SLIDESHARE.NET/NIRMALNATHAN
FOR ELABORATE DETAILS ON HOW GREEK
THOUGHT BROUGHT IN REPLACEMENT
THEOLOGY PROPOSING THAT THE CHURCH
HAS REPLACED PHYSICAL ISRAEL.
66. Tomás de Torquemada, O.P.
DOMINICAN FRIAR
PERSECUTOR OF THE JEWS -
INCLUDING CONVERTED ROMAN CATHOLIC JEWS.
SPANISH INQUISITION BY QUEEN ISABELLA I OF CASTILE.
PORTUGESE INQUISTION BY
KING FERDINAND II OF ARAGON.
TORTURE, MURDER, LOOTING AND EXILE…
PROBABLY CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS REACHED AMERICA
TO FIND A SAFE REFUGE FOR JEWS AT THIS TIME.
67. PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS
• BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC & LUTHERAN CHURCH
• BY THE RUSSIANS
• BY THE NAZIS - HITLER
68. PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS
NOW
• BY THE ANTI SEMITIC,
• IGNORANT,
• ILL INFORMED OR WRONGLY TAUGHT:
1. EVANGELICAL,
2. PENTECOSTAL &
3. FULL GOSPEL CHURCHES
69. WHY THE PERSECUTION
OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE?
• THE MILLENIUM REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST WILL
TAKE PLACE WITH HIS CAPITAL IN ZION,
JERUSALEM.
• THE JEWISH BELIEVERS WERE PROMISED
RESTORATION BY THE MESSIAH, WHICH HAS
TO BE FULFILLED BY ADONAI.
70. WHY THE PERSECUTION
OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE?
• IF JEWS ARE ELIMINATED (AS THE ADVERSARY TRIED
TO STOP MESSIAH’S ANCESTOR LINE & THE MESSIAH’S
ADVENT) GOD’S PROMISE WOULD BECOME NULLIFIED.
• THEN THE REIGN OF DARKNESS CAN CONTINUE.
• TO STOP THIS FULFILLMENT, THE JEWS HAVE TO BE
ELIMINATED TOTALLY. HENCE, ALL SORTS OF
PERSECUTION & ANTI-SEMITISM BY THE SPIRITUAL
FORCES, THE WORLD, THE CHURCH….
73. • UNIQUE TREE.
• CAN NEVER BE DESTROYED.
• IT WILL ALWAYS BRING FORTH SHOOTS EVEN IF STUMP
IS CUT.
• IF WILD OLIVES (BELIEVING GENTILES) ARE CRAFTED IN,
IT WILL PRODUCE EVEN BETTER YIELD AND BE EVEN MORE
STRONGER.
• JEWS ARE THE OLIVE TREE PLANTED BY GOD.
74. THE OLIVE
TREE
WILD OLIVE BRANCHES
GRAFTED IN
CHURCH DOES NOT SUPPORT
THE ROOT BUT THE OTHER
WAY AROUND.
MESSIANIC JEWS
(NOT RABBINIC JUDAISTIC
JEWS) ARE OUR ROOT.
SO DONT BE ARROGANT AND
B O A S T T H A T C H U R C H
REPLACED ISRAEL. IT HAS NOT.
75. ADONAI’S PLAN
ROMANS 9-11
• ALL ISRAELITES ARE NOT JEWS.
• MESSIANIC JEWS - BELIEVERS IN YESHUA ARE
JEWS.
• REMNANT JEWS ARE KEPT SAFE BY THE LORD.
• ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED.
• THE 1,44,000 IN REVELATION ARE JEWISH
SERVANTS OF GOD AND NOT THE CHURCH.
76. HENCE, JEWS CONTINUE TO HAVE A MAJOR
ROLE IN ADONAI’S REDEMPTIVE PLAN.
ADONAI’S GIFTS & HIS CALL TO THE
PATRIARCHS ARE IRREVOCABLE.
ROMANS 11:29
77. IN YESHUA HA MASCHIACH
• THE MESSIANIC JEWS ARE THE “BARLEY” HARVEST AND
WE ARE THE “WHEAT” HARVEST.
• WE WILL BE “ONE HERD UNDER ONE SHEPHERD”
(John 10:16).
• ONE FAMILY OF ADONAI - JOINT HEIRS (EPHESIANS 2:19).
• ADONAI WOULD BE EVERYTHING IN EVERYONE
(I COR 15:28)
78. IN YESHUA HA MASCHIACH
ADONAI’S
ETERNAL PLAN
WILL BE FULFILLED.
HENCE, BLESS ISRAEL & PRAY FOR THEIR PEACE.
