MARCION

Close to the turn of the 1^st century, a heretic name Marcion rewrote much of the Pauline writings and the rest of your Priestly writings which you have called the “New Testament” to include the Synoptic Gospels in an attempt to remove all traces of the “Jewishness” and "Israeli Culture" from the testimony of Rabbi Yeshua Ben Yosef (Jesus Christ), because of Marcion’s hatred and utter contempt for the Jewish people. The leaders of the early “Christian” Synagogues of the rural communities of Israel, expelled Marcion in response to his anti-Semitic actions and his heresy, but the long lasting hangover of his heresy has been passed on from one generation to anther generation spreading through the centuries like a cancer and leaving all the tell tale signs of a cancer in its wake. It was the heretic Marcion who first coined the name “Jesus Christ” when Marcion called Rabbi Yeshua Ben Yosef the “Son of Zeus” or in Greek IESOUS in response to hearing that Rabbeinu Yeshua Ben Yosef was idiomatically referred to as the “Son of God” among His early followers. Marcion--the Father of the Greek Brain--thought that God was not called YHWH (Yud-Hey-Wav-Hey--the One God of the Hebrews, but Marcion thought that this promised Anointed One--was actually the son of the Greek Chief Deity zeus--God forbid!! What Marcion’s Greek mind could not allowing Him to understand was that whenever Rabbi Yeshua ben Yosef was saying He was the "Son of God" that He was using a Hebrew idiom. The Hebrew idiom “Son of God” is a Hebrew idiom—or a way of saying “YHWH” the name of the God of Israel.

Marcion’s’ misunderstanding of the Verb nature of the Hebrew language, then referred to Rabbeinu Yeshua as “IESOUS” in his rewrites of the Synoptic Gospels and the Pauline Epistles which became a wrong name which stuck. Unfortunately, for the many people who fought and died over that name – it really never existed in the form in which we know it today until sometime during the 16^th Century. The real name of the young fiery Prophet from Beth Lechem Israel was and remains “Yahushua ben Yosef ben Yahudi.” This first name is pronounced YahuShua which has a very specific meaning and means “YAHU is my Salvation,” which was a fulfillment of many Messianic prophecies.

Interestingly, the Holy Name "YAHU" appears as an intimate name form for the God of Abraham in the story of Israel’s' victory at the Red Sea--which is called, the "SHIRAT HA YAM:" "The Song of the Sea." It is also here where one of Judaism’s most Holy liturgical prayers is drawn which is recited each week throughout Judaism--the "MIKAMOKHA," which means "WHO IS LIKE YOU O LORD" found in Exodus 15:1-26. This personalized and intimate name of the Holy One--"YAHU"--is also used in a repeating pattern in the prophetic book of Jeremiah and is represented in Jeremiahs Hebrew name: YermaYAHU; it is also used often by the Prophets "Isaiah" according to Rabbi Dr. Gunther Plaut in his Torah Commentary called "The Torah: A Modern Commentary," published by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, NY, 1967.

The early followers of this young Rabbi were ALL JEWS for over 10 years after his execution—and there was not a single one of them that were ever called “Christians” in Jerusalem. Rabbi Dr. Louis Finkelstein, the prestigious Sociologist and Rabbi who was also the Chancellor and Solomon Schechter Professor of Theology at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, the Premiere Orthodox Union Seminary states in his ground breaking epic two volume set called "The Pharisees: The Sociological Background of Their Faith" that "Nevertheless, the Pharisee and the Christian remained sufficiently close to regard one another with respect. Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus, one of the most Orthodox of the Sages, offered high praise to an interpretation of the Scripture given by an early Christian [ Aboda Zara 17a]; Paul after his conversion, still declared himself a Pharisee [Acts 23:6]; Gamaliel, the head of the Pharisees, was praised for his learning and tolerance in saving the Apostles from punishment [ibid 5:4]; A devout Pharissee was declared by Jesus to be 'not far from the kingdom of God' [Mark 12:34]; and Jesus himself, being asked what was the first of the commandments, replied, as might any other PHARISEE, "Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is One Lord." [ibid 12:29].

Did you see that? Dr. Finkelstein, a renowned Jewish Scholar refers to not only Jesus himself--but also the Apostle Paul and He refers to Simon Peter and John ALL as being Pharisees!!! These devout Jewish men were not called Christians in Jerusalem, nor would they have approved of being called so; this is the remnant of Marcion’s intrusion into the Synoptic Gospels and the Pauline Epistles in the early 1st Century of the Common Era. The reference in the book of Acts to the Talmid [Disciples] of Rabbi Yahushua being first called “Christians” in Antioch is nothing more than a trace of Marcion’s revisionist activities that has remained and continues being passed down from generation after generation throughout the centuries; and fortunately for us, it was left in there as a sign marker for us to reverse engineer the writings to find our way home as well.

[A HUGE caveat here--there is nothing wrong with being identified as a Christian--because today you had no idea about "Marcion" and the return of the 10 Northern Tribes of Israel together in the last day. You are COMPLETELY INNOCENT--and should never stop self-identifying as a Christian; it is just important for you to remember that through Jesus--YahuShua the Messiah--you too are a Jew, as were all those that are listed above. Should you disagree with me and think you should drop the name "Christian" --then please pray about that--for your religion is beginning to deceive you. If you pray about this--I know the Holy Spirit will give you grace and understanding about this all.]

So, the real question is: why bring it up at all? You see, Jews beget Jews and not Christians; but today Christians beget Christians who need to move on in their discipleship and be taught how to be contemporary Jews to be able to bring about the prophesied "jealously' that will result in Judah's return--which the Apostle Paul calles "Life fromt he dead" but sadly enough many are not. In fact, the average Christian has grown very little since coming to the faith--and not because of a lack of leadership--because that is not the case--you have tremendous Pastors in the body today and the Pastors can do it--it is you--the rank and file-- that must learn this so that as the end approaches you are not left on the outside wishing you would have listened. We know the time of the life of Rabbeinu Yahushua ben Yosef was historically one of Judaism’s most aggressive conversion periods, and some contemporary Biblical Scholars have gone as far as to state that upwards of 10% of the Roman Empire of this same time period had converted to Judaism during the time of Rabbeinu Yahushua’s life. This artificial status, which has grown to be called “Christianity” is a one sided message that has been spread by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries with much of its expansion coming at the cost of the precious blood of Jews worldwide in Pogroms, Crusades and Shoah events that have caused a huge and warranted mistrust between Jew and Christian; this is not the action of Gods "Christ" but in fact, this is the exact opposite and should be referred to as "anti-Christ." This was not the intent of the Jewish Messiah, who came first in the office of the “Suffering Servant” as was prophesied in Isaiah 53; and He will come again in the office of the Messiah Ben David, the conquering King of Israel—which we long for with every generation of our fellow Jews. The reuniting of those coming out of the Catholicized Church looking for spiritual food and those with their true Jewish foundational roots is the ultimate goal of TORAH FOR CHRISTIANS and Pastor Ariel Ehrmantrout Ministries as we long for our complete unity.

We recognize that when those who have been in the paganistic Universal Catholic Church --through no fault of their own, begin studying and following the Torah of Moses in an attempt to grow in holiness--that they begin to move from lack and decrease into gain and increase and we desire to share this miracle that has been hidden for many Centuries from the people of God. We are an organization made up of both Jews who are Jews by Patrilineal and Matrilineal descent and Jews who have come into Judaism by conversion after falling in love Rabbi Yeshua Ben Yosef and the Torah: God’s Teaching and Instruction™ and we are living the Jewish lifestyle each and every day of our life for all to see and gladly accepting the shame associated with the HONOR of being called “Jews by choice” who "obey the teachings of Rabbi Yeshua ben Yosef ben David"--the King of A UNITED ISRAEL! Marcion, and his later companions "Eusebus" and many others tried to keep us apart--but God's perfect will has always been for both naturally born Jews and Born again Christians to be together forever--which is the "Ma Ha Kavod:" or the "Glory of God" here on the earth. Marcion was a self-hater, but as the Torah clearly says"Love conquers ALL!" The Biblical House of Israel --is once again joining their older brother the Biblical House of Judah and together we are coming together as the unified Commonwealth of Israel! We have not replaced the natural Israelites, but we have come along side them with a heart of service and submission to learn their ways--and nothing is more glorious than going from dead to life in Messiah Yeshua ben Yosef ben David!!
