International Nazarene Beit Din

(Corresponding to Acts 15) A:1  MISHNA: Must the Goyim be circumcised according to the custom of the Torah to be saved? Shim'on said: Men, our brothers, you know that from the first days from my mouth, Eloah chose that the Goyim should hear the Word of the Good News and Trust. And Eloah, who knows what is in hearts, gave testimony concerning them, and gave to them the Ruach HaKodesh as [he did] to us. And he made no distinction between them and us, because he purified their hearts by trust. And now, why do you tempt Eloah so that you place a yoke upon the necks of the talmidim, which neither our fathers, nor we, were able to bear? But by the favor of our Adon Yeshua the Messiah, we believe to have Life, like them. Paul and Bar Nabba, recounted everything that Eloah had done by their hands: signs, and mighty deeds, among the Goyim. Ya'akov said, Men, our brothers: hear me. Shim'on recounted to you how Eloah began to choose, from the Goyim, a people for His...

A:1  Oaths, should they be taken? It has been said "Do not be false in your oath, but complete to YHWH your vow." For the Torah says: "And you shall not swear by My Name falsely, so that you profane the Name of your Elohim: I am YHWH." (Lev. 19:12) And: "When a man vows a vow unto YHWH, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word: he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth." (Num. 3 (30:2)). And: "When you shall vow a vow unto YHWH your Elohim, you shall not be slack to pay it. For YHWH your Elohim, will surely require it of you, and it will be sin in you. But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in you.  That which is gone out of your lips, you shall observe and do, according as you have vowed freely unto YHWH your Elohim--even that which you have promised with your mouth." (Deut. 22 (23:21)- 24 (23:23)) Yeshua Ben Sira said: " Hear, O ye children, the discipli...

The Lost Tribes, will they return? Rabbi Akiva said: The ten tribes are not destined to return, since it is said, "And he cast them into another land, as on this day" (Deut. 29:28). Just as the day passes and does not return, so they have gone their way and will not return," (m.San. 10:3) The minority of Pharisaic Rabbis taught: The ten tribes have no portion in the world to come, as it says, And YHWH rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation (Deut. 29:28): And YHWH rooted them out of their land, refers to this world; and cast them into another land — to the world to come. (b.San. 110b) Rabbi Eliezer says, Just as this day is dark and then grows light, so the ten tribes for whom it is now dark-- thus in the future it is destined to grow light for them. (m.San. 10:3) R. Simeon b. Judah, of the Kefar of Acco, said on R. Simeon's authority: If their deeds are as this day's, they will not return; otherwi...

Keeping and Bearing Arms Yeshua the Messiah said:  “And he who does not have a sword: let him sell his garment and buy for himself a sword.” (Luke 22:36) How are we to understand this? By this we are to understand that the Creator has given the people the unalienable right to keep and bear arms. The first decree of King David upon becoming King of Israel was “teach the sons of Y’hudah the bow. Behold, it is written in the Sefer HaYashar.” (2Sam. 1:18). And what if one should say “the bow” was the name of a song, and archery was not referred to here?  We read in Sefer HaYashar (The Book of Jasher): 8 And Jacob said unto Judah, I know my son that you are a mighty man for your brothers; reign over them, and your sons shall reign over their sons forever. 9 Only teach your sons the bow and all the weapons of war, in order that they may fight the battles of their brother who will rule over his enemies. (Jasher 56:8-9) And Rashi says of this vers...

The year, when is it to be extended? The Qumran Sect says that we do not extend the year, but we use a 364 day solar year, as we read in the Book of Enoch. The International Nazarene Beit Din says:  The Book of Enoch recounts the fall of a group of angels, who fell from heaven and took human form in order to copulate with human women (1Enoch 6; Gen. 6). Enoch gives a prophecy Enoch received BEFORE this fall of angels (1En. 39:1). At that time Enoch says concerning the movements of the Sun and Moon: 5 And I saw the chambers of the sun and moon, whence they proceed and whither they come again, and their glorious return, and how one is superior to the other, and their stately orbit, and how they do not leave their orbit, and they add nothing to their orbit and they take nothing from it, and they keep faith with each other, in accordance with the oath by which they are bound together. 6 And first the sun goes forth and traverses his path according...

(Corresponding to m.Sanhedrin 3:3 ) And these are they who are invalid to serve as witnesses or judges: The Pharisees say: "He who plays dice; he who loans money for interest; those who race pigeons; and those who do business in the produce of the Sabbath Year." Rabbi Simeon said, "In the beginning they called them `Those who gather Seventh Year produce,' When oppressors became many [who collected taxes on this produce] they reverted to calling them, `Those who do business in the produce of the Seventh Year." Rabbi Judah said: "Under what circumstances? When they have only that as their profession. But if they have a profession other than that. They are valid." (m.San. 3:3) The Essenes said, "No one who has knowingly violated a single word of the commandment will be considered a reliable witness against his fellow until he is considered fit to return to full fellowship."
