JUDEO-CHRISTIAN

"We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19.

Judeo-Christian means a Jewish Christian, which means the same as a Messianist (Christian), from ancient Judea of the Holy Bible’s origins. The prefix “Judeo-‘ ( pronounced, Jew-dayo) means Jewish, as it relates to Judah (Hebrews 7:14), Judaism, and Judea, which is the land of Jesus Christ, and his original Church from Jerusalem in us providing its Biblical oversight. See Matthew 19:28-30.

We are the prime (Judeo-) Christians, representing the “Root” of physical and Spiritual authority from God arising in ancient Jerusalem (Judea), to advise “modern Christianity” toward accuracy, as in Acts 18:24-26, Revelations 22:16. Modern “Christianity” has experienced metamorphosis from foreign adulterated man-made traditions. e.g. Galatians 1:6-7, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-15.

A Judeo-Christian is not an Old Covenant “Jew” ( יהוּדי Yahwadiy, pronounced by all semi-short vowels as Yah-wah-dih. A group of Yahwadiy is called Yahwadyim, pronounced by all semi-vowels Yah-wad-yim, from original Biblical Hashwar Hebrew language. It means followers of Yahwah [Hebrew name of God]) bound within Moses’ temporal Levitical priesthood of animal sacrifices. Judeo-Christians are ancient New Covenant Yahwadyim who are bound within Jesus’ eternal Melchizedek Priesthood order of self-sacrificial offerings. See Hebrews 7:14-17.

This Melchizedek Regal Priesthood within and under our Messiah (Jesus) is the highest collective-Kingly Priesthood, which has represented and interceded before and after Moses’ temporal, provincial, and tutorial Levitical priesthood. See Genesis 14:18-20, Hebrews 7:1-28.

Because Judeo-Christians are not Old Covenant Jews, we do not answer to the common identification of “Jew.”

Jesus was not an Old Covenant Jew. He is a more ancient High Kingly Priest Jew (Yahwadiy), of Judah (יהוּדה = Yahwadah, a Hebrew name applied to a patriarchal priestly tribe from Melchizadek, which means “celebrating Yahwah”), older than the Old Covenant Moses and Abraham, according to the Kingly Priesthood order of Melchizedek. See Hebrews chapters 7-8.

Our Messiah’s Melchizedek Priesthood Covenant is “new” to Gentiles and re-new-able for Old Covenant Jews.

Jesus is, therefore, the highest Kingly Priest over both Yahwadyim (Jews). We follow Jesus and answer to: Judeo-Christian, Jewish Christian, Jewish Messianist or best by Messianist (Hebrew for “Christian”).

The Hebrew word for “Messianist” is מְשִׁיחִי (MŠYCY = Mashyaciy, pronounced Mosh-yawk-i).

In modern Eurasian Hebrew it is translated M’shihi. It is spelled using the following Eurasian dialect for the following Hebrew letters:

 (Mem) represents the sound “m” in English.

שִׁ (Shin) represents the sound “sh” in English.

י (Yod) represents the sound “y” or “i” in English.

ח (Chet) represents the sound “ch” or “h” in English.

י (Yod) represents the sound “y” or “i” in English.

When combined, these letters form the word “Messianist” in Hebrew, referring to someone who believes in or follows the Messiah.

For you Hashwar disciples, did the Hebrew letter Chet have a K sound in older Hebrew?

Yes, historically, the Hebrew letter ח (Chet) did have an older pronunciation that was closer to a “k” sound. In ancient Hebrew and some traditional pronunciations, the letter ח (Chet) was indeed pronounced as a voiceless fricative sound similar to the “ch” in the German word “Bach” or the Scottish “loch”. This pronunciation is commonly referred to as a “hard” or “guttural” k sound. Ayin had a gutteral g sound, as in -ugh ending of the word jug.

Over time, the Eurasian pronunciation of ח (Chet) evolved in different Hebrew dialects and communities. In modern Hebrew, the letter ח (Chet) is typically pronounced as a voiceless fricative sound similar to the “ch” in the Scottish “loch” or the “h” sound in English “hello.” However, in some Sephardic Jewish communities, the pronunciation may be closer to a “kh” sound, similar to the “ch” in the German “Bach.”

It’s important to note that pronunciation can vary based on regional accents, traditions, and personal preferences, so there may be some variation in how individuals pronounce the Hebrew letter ח (Chet) today. In some sense, Hebrew is customizable using a variety of vowels (in Hashwar, only short semi vowels, no long vowels), yet preserves its root words heritage by consonant history.

The term “Christian” is a Greek word to English, used by Greeks to describe ancient Messianist. “Messianist” is from Hebrew to English.

THE MEANING OF THE TETRAGRAMMATON IN THE NAME “JEW”

Yahwah is the more ancient name from God, still preserved in archaeology by Paleo-Hebrew, before the pronunciation “Yahweh” and long before the appellation “Allah” was modified from Hebrew (e.g. Ezra 5:8) by Quranic Arabic, or Greek’s use of  “Theos”, or Hindu’s use of Brahma, etc.

“Yahweh” and “Jehovah” are mistranslations into English from Hebrew, for a number of reasons. Those reasons include, but are not limited to, the Levitical Yahwadyim over 500 years after Jesus, using the wrong written vowel points in print around God’s sacred name.

The wrong vowel points were used as a device to deflect people from misusing God’s sacred name and Yahwadyim having to kill them for it, according to Leviticus 24:16. New Covenant Yahwadayim have continued the more ancient precautionary method of using Halhayim (Hashwar Hebrew)/Alhayim/ Elohym (Eurasian Hebrew) instead of Yahwah for public religious services.

There is no letter V or J in ancient Hebrew. “V” for example was importedly mixed over older Biblical Hebrew for the letter “W��� by modern Ashkenazi|Yiddish (Germanic) Jews mispronouncing and thereby mis-writing ancient Hebrew, later incorporated into English. They pronounce William as Vhilliam, for example and evidence.

When Eliezer Ben-Yehuda moved from Eastern Europe to Jerusalem and began trying to establish Yiddish-type Eurasian Hebrew for “officially” spoken “Hebrew”, used today, he and it were opposed as wrong by native Hebrew decendants in Jerusalem. Such Jews, a Jerusalem minority, became outnumbered by foreign Yiddish-type emigrants fleeing persecution and seeking British support for an Israeli State. Ruling British authorities declared it (a Yiddish type Hebrew) the official lanquage of the Jews, not Biblical Hebrew. See original Jerusalem Hebrew preserved also in ancient Hebrew script and archaeology artifacts here.

Moses desired more Yahwadyim in his day, as at Pentecost. See Numbers 11:29, Acts Chapter 2. Again, you can see how the Levitical Yahwadyim represented a rough-draft prefigure or shadow of the later substantial and intended re-New-ed Covenant for Yahwadyim. Hebrews 8:4-6, Colossians 2:16-17. We are fufilling the New Covenant meaning of Yahwadiy. We are the New Covenant Yahwadyim..

People who speak English but not Hebrew can verify this truth about where the term “Jew” comes from by a Strong’s Concordance containing the Hebrew dictionary of the Bible under “Jew” and Hebrew entry numbers # 3068, 3064|3065 and 1768 compared to 1767.

English makes no clear distinction between Old versus New Covenant Jews, and to avoid confusing the young uneducated, we refrain from using the term “Jew,” as in Messianic Jew (as was the Pharisees) and instead identify ourselves as Jewish Messianist(s). We also identify as New Covenant Yahwadyim, or Judeo-Christians (to reach Catholic|Protestant-Christians), and this is meant by us identified as simply Christians.

Hebrews 6:4-6 reveals a rather unsettling truth: We can lose our state of grace and fall away from the Lord.

For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.

For those who teach what Calvinists call "the final perseverance of the saints," this text presents real problems. Some will argue the above description only refers to people who "knew about the Lord," but were never really saved to begin with. I have always wondered if those making that argument can really be satisfied with it. It seems the inspired author makes clear, almost to the point of redundancy, that he was speaking about those who have been saved and then "commit apostasy."

Another Protestant tack is to claim the author is presenting an impossible hypothetical. In other words, he's saying it would be impossible to restore again to repentance one who had truly been baptized into Jesus Christ because it is impossible for such a person to fall away to begin with.

This doesn't work, either. The author is presenting a warning of the peril of falling away from the Lord. He would hardly warn his readers of something that is impossible to actually happen.

Protestant attempts to circumvent the obvious are weak at best. Most Protestants with whom I have spoken will even acknowledge this to be true. In the end, I have found that the one defending his "eternally secure" status will nearly invariably attempt to turn the tables on his Catholic opposition by claiming the Catholic proves too much. If this text is saying one can fall away, then it also says the one who falls away cannot be restored. This would be contrary to Catholic teaching.

The greater context of the entire epistle gives us the answer to this apparent difficulty. Hebrews was written to... you guessed it... Hebrews. But more specifically to Hebrew Christians who were being tempted to go back to the Old Covenant priesthood, sacrifices, and other practices, like circumcision, in order to be saved. It is in this context—from start to finish—that the inspired author runs the gamut on Jewish belief showing how Christ is greater than and/or is the fulfillment of the entire Old Covenant.

In chapters one and two, Jesus is revealed to be greater than the angels; he's revealed to be God. In chapters three and four, he is our true high priest, greater than Moses, and fulfillment of what the Sabbath symbolized. In chapters five and seven, he is the antitype of Melchizadek. In chapter eight, he is superior to and the fulfillment of the Old Covenant in establishing the New. In chapters nine and ten, he is superior to the temple and its sacrifices. And it is in this context that the inspired author then exhorts his readers to endure the persecution that had already begun by this time (see 10:32-39). He calls them to "hold fast the confession of [their] hope without wavering" (10:23), and to remain faithful to the Church Jesus established rather than go back to an Old Covenant and its sacrifices that have no power to save (10:25-31; 12:18-25; 13:7-10).

If we understand the greater context, we understand that the author of Hebrews is not saying it is impossible to be forgiven of the sin of apostasy; rather, it is impossible for those who "have tasted the heavenly gift" of the New Covenant and would then return to the Old Covenant to be saved. Why? Because they are trusting in a covenant, law, priesthood, sacrifice, and more that do not possess the power to save. They are returning to a well without water.

If these same Hebrews, or by allusion anyone down through the centuries who may have apostatised, turn back to Christ and his Church trusting in the graces that alone come from the sacrifice of Christ, then of course they can be restored to a saving relationship with God.

I see a costume that Miley Cyrus wears at some point in her break-out tour in your Rorschach ink blot. I went to Vietnam to make sure Miley Cyrus could motivate the troops in such a classic fashion. It's like a Round Eye USO show, instead of a Philippine cover band with a lead singer who could emote Linda Ronstadt singing "Willin'" in Atlanta. Miley is a part of that tradition. You can see Miley on stage with Alison Crause and Mary Travers and Pearl, fitting right in, harmonizing with Emmylou Harris. When I got back from Vietnam in 1971, back to the World, she was singing at "The Childe Harold" north of Dupont Circle and she was like a singer in a USO show.

That's a flash-back. You set off a Miley-Cyrus adult entertainment trigger in my libido. I went to Vietnam to make sure the 19th Amendment is fully implemented, globally, as my focus in the Great Commission. Moses corrupted the 9 Laws he was given on Sinai in order to claim property rights on the uterus, universally. The 7th of the 10 Commandments and the 10th Commandment were originally one commandment to the effect "Thou shalt not adulter the law to possess unjustly that which you covet of your neighbor" to "Thou shalt not commit adultry" in order to reduce the status of women to animal husbandry: Woman as Breeding Stock. And the 10th Commandment "Thou Shalt Not Covet" has become a weasle word like "Honor" in the commerce of the world. The world of the 10 Commandments.

If you begin with Melchizadek, the numerology is all wrong. 10 base numerology is the numerology of capitalism and it's historic artifact is the abacus. Narrative is the evidence of the Logos in operation in a human population, but music as an expression of the fushion of the Mythos and the Logos is what separates homo sapien from the Neanderthal.

History is a reconstruction of the human condition as if music didn't exist. History is a room filled with echoes of the past. History is further evidence of the operation of the Logos in the world, but without the Mythos that surrounds us eternally. The mythos surrounded the Neanderthal but it just frightened them. They had no way to transmit moral qualities, culturally, such as "courage" and "endurance" and "future". Song helped launch Logos out of the Mythos. History is cleaning up after the main event.

The "10" of the "10" commandments is what the 19th Amendment fixies in the Human Condition. In the Beginning, was the Word, but before the Word was, Number IS and the Great I AM are one. And the 9 base numerology is what Melchizadek gave Abram. 19 is literally the Alpha and Omega of divine numerology. The "0" symbol, "Zero", is an artifact of the process theology in operation from Melchizadek throughout the Mediterranean Basin that achieved the critical mass in 70 and produced the US Constitution. Along the way, Khadijah opened a divine portal for Mohammad that produced the Meccan Suras in the Quran and, when she died, that portal closed, but Mohammad pretended it didn't happen while he wrapped himself in the silk of his child bride's night gowns, trying to find the key to the portal only Khadijah could open in him. Islam is a Gnostic religion: for all intents and purposes, the Quran is the hymnal for the Gospel of Thomas. Allah is the demi-urge that stalks Moses in the mountain lodge and is the Spirit of the Lord in Genesis 1:2. And the intellectual rigors of Islam, as bent out of shape as they are. produce Zed and the X Commandments becomes understood as the 10 Commandments and there has been a very low volume but persistent subject of inquiry in the Torah regarding why 10 commandments when the lesson of Joseph's accurate interpretation of the dreams of Pharaoh employing Melchizadek's 9 base numerology. The basis for most Kabbalah mystery on the Tree of Life is the 10 base numerology of Moses 2nd version of what he had been given on Sinai.

A question of the sort of speculative theology like Richard Dawson and Richard Carrier. The reason why they are getting any traction at all is because of the post-modern deconstructive forensics dialectic of the Students for a Democratic Society that took over Columbia University because they were scared shitless of going to Vietnam. It's the Oliver Stone version of Vietnam. You are letting assholes like Richard Carrier interfer with the proposition that the Holy Ghost is a capitalist tool in the economics of Jesus as explicated by Adam Smith.

Of course, so is the Pro-Life heresy based on the corruption of the 9 Commandments. The 19th Amendment is absolute, existential, historic proof of the Logos at work in the affairs of America and, by our example, humankind. Robert Jeffress's Pro-Life heresy violates the 19th Amendment as a reflection of the Hand of God.

So, that's what I saw in your Rorschach blot. But, then, I am always Evangelicals to introduce sex into the sermon at some point. It helps to get the juices flowing before you pass around the collection plate. It's like you came on stage in jogging shorts over panty hose and heels and pulled on a garter for gentlemen to stuff bills of various denominations in, except it's a family show, so it has a certain Godspell-era Campus Crusade for Christ schtick to it. Baseball summer camp evangelism.

Cornelius is in the room with Jesus and Pilate. Jesus is in full-Jihadist mode: for all intents and purposes, lit a match when He withered the fig tree and, like the Zippo Monk, is just waiting for the Romans to dump a couple of jerry cans of gasoline over him. The Jewish lynch mob lights the spiritual fuse leading to the destruction of the Temple by demanding Jesus Barabbas instead of Jesus of Nazareth: Revelation is a very radical literary narrative of the spiritual time line from Mark 15:38 to 70.

But Cornelius knows Jesus, personally: he had become aware of Him as part ebb and flow of the religious community in Capernaum. We know this from Acts X. You might ask yourself, as a dedicated historic Jesus sleuth, what is a high-ranking Roman soldier doing, hanging out at a synagogue.

Well, Capernaum is on the trade route coming in from Persia and Asia to cross the land bridge into Africa. As a senior intelligence officer, the Capernaum is a useful listening post of the local situation. Pilate's core mission was to keep these trade routes open and free of the sort of Free Market piracy that operated as a counter-point to Pax Romana.  It made sense for Cornelius to become a common sight on the Sabbath to listen from the Gentiles Court of the synagogue of the war stories of the Torah and Judges and Prophets. Because of Melchizedek, the Roman Republic found it expedient to make God Fearers as ecumenical as possible. Large system governance was right at the end of the transition of the theocracies of the Aesthetic to the secular republics of the Ethic. Melchizedek had set this transition in motion throughout the Mediterranean Basin at the same time. It all came to a head in a cluster of events, the composition of Revelation, which is the bookend of the age of Melchizedek in the Bible, the composition of Hebrews, and the destruction of the Temple as a cultural dead end resulting from Moses corruption of the IX Commandments to the X Commandments. The Emperor Worship that rose to prominence in the 1st Century reflects the last gasp of the pre-historic theocracies of the Aesthetic Age and the dominance of the secular rule of law of the Ethic Age evolving eventually to the US Constitution and Democratic Socialism as the core technology of American-British constitutional capitalism. As a centurion, Cornelius was on the leading edge of the Industrial Age and, consequently, his behavior as a professional soldier is predictable and eternal and being an intelligence agent for Rome while absorbing the spiritual values consistent with his own ethical construct from the local culture reflects my own experience as a republican war fighter in Vietnam. Same mud, same blood.

And Cornelius knew Jesus was big medicine before He was remanded to his custody right at the Vernal Equinox and in the middle of an annual exercise in crowd control and political suppression in Israel and Judah. There are a lot of theories for Pilate's behavior in the 4 Gospels, but a factor is the Sajanus plot. Pilate was largely a very successful regional manager for Rome, but he was a little gun shy from missteps he had made with the Jews that weren't worth the trouble for purely commercial reasons: the Roman empire never recovered from the destruction of Jerusalem as a very potent money pump. Revelation provides an inventory of the luxury items Jerusalem distributed throughout all the world. One way or another, Pilate survived the purge after 31. The unkown factor is, was Jesus crucified before or after Sajanus was discovered? History tells us that the Roman nickname for the Jewish followers of Jesus “Christians” went to Rome before it went to Antioch and to Antioch before it got to Jerusalem, although Roman solders roamed all over the region. We know, historically, that Felix knew all about the local Christians, which the local Christians called The Way in Acts 24:22. Cornelius's presence, and involvement in the Capernaum synagogue was part of the network that informed Felix about The Way, only Cornelius knew about The Word before it became The Way and had created what became the Q source to keep track of it, the Word,  without knowing Jesus would land in front of him and Pilate for disposition as a bit of political expedience. If He had just died and disappeared, the Gospel of Mark would never have had any military urgency it had after the Resurrection. And copies of everything Cornelius collected in the intelligence files of the Q source ended up in the hands of Theophilus in Rome while they tried to reverse engineer Resurrection and the other super powers of Jesus of Nazareth. The result is Hebrews and Acts 10:34 – 43 is the textual origin of the Apostle's Creed.

Pilate's role was to make sure word of The Word went up the chain of command to the Roman-equivalent of the Pentagon and State Department, the Praetorian Guard represented by Theophilus. That's why Pilate is mentioned in the Apostle's creed, to establish the Roman provenance of the Gospel of Mark and the Q source.

Speaking from a patreon.com/tmbh perspective, it would be interesting for you to explore the music you associate with any given pericope. For example, during the initial moments of the flirtation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4, I hear Shania Twain's “That don't impress me much”. She's flirting with Him and He's enjoying her company. She's come to the well in the middle of the day to get pregnant like Tamar with Judah. When He starts talking about “living waters” she assumes He's good to go and begins to press Him to get down to business. The music I hear here is Ace of Bass “All that she wants (is another baby)” and then He makes her pregnant by immaculate conception and the music stops. And then the Disciples return and break the spell and she runs home to announce the Messiah to Natalie Merchant's Kind and Generous.

Try that idea out and see if it doesn't begin to fill in your historical grid of Jesus in a delightful new way.

Merry Boxing Day 2019.

ARE PEOPLE STILL GENTILES AFTER ENTERING CHRIST BY FAITH?

Answer: No. And here is why.

First, we become a new creature in Christ.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV

Second, we do not graft into the Levitical priesthood of Moses, but into the Melchizadek ((מלכּי־צדק = Mlky-Sdq = Melkiy Sadeq [pronounced Mel-keh Sah-dek]) Regal Priesthood of our New Covenant Messiah. (See Hebrews chapter 7).

It is from within this "better" Covenant and Regal Priesthood globally (not just circumferenced by the small land of Judea), we Messianist will oversee and judge the twelve tribes of Israel according to the Holy Bible.

Hebrews 7:11-12, "If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law (torah),) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec (Melkiy Sadeq), and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law (torah)."

Matthew 19:28, "And Jesus (his Hebrew full name is Yahwashag) said unto them, Verily I say to you, That you which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

Third, the grafting of us into the root and stock of the bodily tree of Judah, mentioned by Paul, is directed to Gentiles before entering Christ. Who, after grafted, do replace the branches of Jews, Judah's, or Israeli body who were "broken off" the Olive tree (from God), allegory, from Romans 11:17. This distinction as being "grafted" or formerly foreign, afterward disappears. This is because it becomes, they become, the same union to the root of Biblical holiness from God and its monotheism, which replace in us, just like the good standing Old Covenant Jews, it replaces in us the unholy sin, idolatry, polytheism, atheism, etc.

"For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches." Romans 11:16 NKJV.

Romans 8:23, "And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit"

"Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we would be a type of firstfruits of His creatures." James 1:18 NKJV.

Fourth, as it gets into Hebrew roots and word meanings that define us and our identity in Christ (our Hebrew Messiah).

We Judeo-Christians (Messianists) arise from Christ (the Messiah) and therefore from the tribe of Judah.

See Hebrews 7:14, "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood."

The Hebraic English term "Judah" comes from the Hebrew word יהוּדה = Yhwdh= Yahwadah, which means celebrating Yahwah from following Yahwah.

The English term "LORD" in the English Holy Bible often is used to overlay and represent the underlying Hebrew word יהוה = Yhwh= Yahwah.

The term "Jew" (2 Kings 16:6) comes from the Hebrew word: יהוּדי =Yhwdy = Yahwadiy (pronounced Yah-wah-dey), meaning one of the Yahwah following celebrants, or a follower of Yahwah (Psalm 68:4), from the tribe of and member of Judah (Yahwadah).

Yes, we Judeo-Christians (Judeo = of Judah Christians [ Messianists]) are the tribe of Judah today having entered the New Covenant as prophesied.

See Hebrews 8:8-9, "For finding fault with them, he said, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says the Lord." Jeremiah 31:31.
