The Nazarene Way: Biblical Ethics and Eschatology This is the most important book you will ever read. The goal of The Nazarene Way is to provide the reader with an analytical and comprehensive explanation of both the legalistic letter and the spiritual intent of the Christians’ scriptures in order to overcome mainstream indoctrination and replace it with a more valid interpretation of the truth. Our purpose is to take out of the religion of Christ its mystical element and explain it in the manner in which it was actually meant to be understood by its founders. The meaning of the symbols, the rites, the terms and the formulae are decoded in order to present a complete picture of what not only this religion, but in fact what every religion is and what they are for. In other words, this is a study of all things, not just the Bible or Christianity. This book is intended primarily for Christians or those who have grown up in Western culture and who are therefore familiar with the basic principles of Christianity and open to analyzing them according to what the Bible says rather than what has been repeatedly said by lying and deceiving men. There are many things which are taken for granted here, but these are covered elsewhere, especially in The End of Learning: Logic and the Means of Knowledge, which is intended to introduce the reader to the concepts contained herein. This book takes the ethical and metaphysical arguments presented in The End of Learning and develops them in detail without needlessly retracing the steps to the beginning of those arguments. Whereas The End of Learning was the first, or perhaps for some, the second grade of the system now being presented, this is the second or third. This book, unlike the last volume, captures the essence of the religious sentiment rather than its expression. It is not intended that the reader should require further education after this, but rather that the reader should have a point of view as enlightened as those of the ancient mystic sages after comprehending its esoteric truths. It is intended that the reader will come away with all the knowledge necessary to change his or her life for the better in every way accorded by applied spirituality. No other book in the history of man can rightfully claim to achieve the same goals with the same measure of exactitude. The Nazarene Way begins the ambitious apology of Biblical Christianity by addressing the main arguments advanced by the Illuminists of the 18th century which are still being regurgitated by the common Agnostic Westerner without adequate reply from the recognized clerical authorities. The main purpose is to introduce the reader to a Biblical system of ethics so simple and so profound that it has never even occurred to the average “Christian,” while simultaneously correcting each of the many mistakes of nearly 17 centuries of established dogma within the mainstream ecclesiastical organizations. These criticisms are of a logical nature only—it is not our purpose to judge or inflame those who have called themselves Christians and our spiritual leaders, but to educate and save them. What is presented is therefore the formerly universal religion, or a reformed Christianity—natural religion, but Christianity because it
particularly takes into account the advances in understanding provided
by the Nazarene interpretation and the wonderful scriptures it has
produced, regardless of the name or epistemological bias which we
attach to the holistic paradigm.

From the book:
The following flowchart is intended to show
continuity between the basic mystic elements of each of the cultures described
above. What it does not adequately show is external influences of other schools
of thought, especially in the syncretic religions, or the thousands of
delineated sects whose beliefs are essentially the same as their parent
systems. It also does not include shamanism since it is only intended to show
the evolution of belief systems; shamanism has been preserved in many of its
various forms without contributing much to other cultural and religious belief
systems. The reason it is included here is to show the reader which belief
systems are viable alternatives to the Biblical worldview, which ones are
compatible with it and which are antithetical to it.
As before, the reader is
reminded that continuity between religious traditions is a spiritual affair and
therefore fairly subjective, and that this chart is intended as a spiritual or
interpretive guide rather than an exact categorization of subject areas. It
ought to be read with the understanding that the issue of compatibility is in
regard to the written doctrines of these religions only—that there may be other
factors in the ways in which they are actually practiced which will make them
incompatible with the Biblical worldview, such as idolatry or ancestor worship.
It will be noticed that the religions which stand out as being incompatible are
the Babylonian religions and each of those being promoted or espoused by the
New World Order. This is not a coincidence, and this understanding will be
critical to our overall theses throughout the rest of the book.
Also, as mentioned earlier,
there are interpretive elements of dualism in some of the Eastern religions
(particularly in the class of Mahayana Buddhism), but they are overshadowed by
a higher spiritual understanding which is monistic. The reference to Aryan
dualism regards the doctrine of a dual principle divinity specifically. It
could be argued that Zoroastrianism and Mandaeism are fundamentally monistic as
well, depending on the interpretation of their doctrines, but historically they
have inclined to (and in fact, invented) the Luciferian doctrine. One
could also argue that the religion of Thelema is a Satanic religion, but the
fact of the matter is that it has been in existence for a long time. The
Thelemic religion espoused by Aleister Crowley and other modern Satanists
should be understood as Illuminism, whereas Satanism refers to Yezidism. 
Every
culture has its own religious traditions which, when examined closely, proves
to be nothing more than a cultural adaptation of religious sentiments, usually
in the place of older mythologies which get phased out when men begin to
understand the inferiority of the gods they once served in comparison to the
Most High, or at least the common nature which the men themselves share with
those gods. On the other hand, it would be absurd to suggest that each of the
thousands of religions is the same thing in a different form or that they are
all equally useful or beneficial to the individual practitioner, as New Age
apologists are so eager to do. The fact is that most religious belief systems
contradict each other and cannot be reconciled. However, the perceived
contradictions are usually only imaginary—errors resulting from a person’s
attempt to create an identity by dissociation—and come about by way of an
insufficient understanding of the belief system being targeted, usually, in the
spirit of malice.
Although it is logically
impossible for all religions to be viable alternatives to each other, it
is possible that most of them have the same underlying message
and that this message comes in the form of a divine imperative intended to lead
us into a state of greater perfection. This inevitably means that they have God’s
mandate to some extent as they have been essentially instituted by him. The
only major exceptions to this rule are the Babylonian tradition of legalism
(Satanism, materialism) which is Nimrod’s legacy to the world, and
Luciferianism which, although grounded in Nimrod’s rebellion, is an invention
of wicked antichrists such as Marcion and Mani.
If it were not for this
explanation then the way of salvation would appear to not be open to all and
the matter of God’s justice would be in doubt again. The question then of any
religion’s viability has less to do with its message, which is generally
understood innately by all people, than how it is put into practice by the
society that invented it.
The
ideal religion, then, is that which most successfully induces the individual to
monistic faith in the benevolence of the divine plan and to a lifestyle most in
accord with it. This essentially means the most ideal religion is the one which
talks the most about love and has the least visible forms of expression so as
to allow for hypocrisy in action. We ought to always remember that religion
serves for us as a symbol of our communion with God and not the
communion itself—that man walked with God before he invented ways of expressing
devotion, and that to worship an image is to worship a creation—that our
ultimate goal is to return to a state of perfection completely free of these
forms.
The reason for the superiority
of the Nazarene approach to religion lies in the fact that it is philosophical
rather than rudimentary (i.e., that it relies on spiritual understanding rather
than forms and functions intended to be expressions of the same spirituality).
As a philosophy it is universal; as an established, legalistic sect the
Satanic/Babylonian/Jewish religion is privative and devoid of value. The value
of the others—the “in-betweens”—depends on their fruits.
From the book:
The Jewish conceptualization of God ultimately comes
from the ancient Kenite tradition. Moses’ father-in-law Jethro was the high
priest of the Midianites, who were Kenites. It is generally surmised that
Jethro exerted some measure of influence over Moses and his theology, and this
is a reasonable assumption, but it is unlikely that the influence was such that
Moses’ conceptualization of God was anything other than Egyptian and Hebrew in
nature, derived from the same esoteric traditions as those which the Nazarites
of Palestine guarded. The most influence Jethro may have exerted was in the
addition of his god to Moses’ inferior pantheon of pagan gods of whom worship
was proscribed. This is evidenced throughout the Pentateuch, but nowhere so
much as when the Israelites asked Moses for the name of the God they were to
worship.
And He
said, “I am the Elohim of your father, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of
Yitshaq, and the Elohim of Ya’aqob.” And Mosheh hid his face, for he was
afraid to look at Elohim. Exodus 3:6
The next verse in this context
identifies the speaker as YHWH, indicating that God has spoken through the lesser god of
Israel, traditionally regarded as the archangel Michael whose name supposedly
means ‘he who is like God’ or ‘who is like God?’ The place
where Moses is said to have met God face to face is Mt. Horeb,
which is literally read as kherub (cherub). This is where the God of the
Midianites was said to have resided, and where Moses received the Law.
According to Hebrew tradition Horeb was the dwelling place of the archangel
Raziel, who is the equivalent of the Egyptian Djehuty/Thoth. Of course, we know
that Moses’ Egyptian name was ‘drawn from Thoth,’ so this makes sense.
Since
we now know that Raziel was not necessarily an individual physical entity (and
since his name is not corroborated in the Bible), and that Michael is merely
the patron of Israel of whom the only things that are known is that he is in
charge of the angels of heaven and that his name reflects his qualities as
being in conformity with YHWH’s, there is
no logical reason to assert that the angels of the Christian traditions are
anything other than the ‘gods’ of the pagan pantheons. From this we can deduce
that the two contemporary mainstream religious traditions which are polemically
opposed to the Bible (that is, Mormonism and Luciferianism) are both based on a
correct interpretation of the available evidence concerning angels. In these
theologies Jesus is equated with Michael, who is the brother of Lucifer, where
Lucifer is personified as a material being (Satan) according to the old Christian
dogma. This certainly makes sense at least, given that the archetypes of Jesus
and Lucifer are both real metaphysical beings. If we do not make such a
comparison then we are at a loss to account for Jesus’ existence prior to his
incarnation, and this need will lead us to wrong conclusions such as the “same
substance” doctrine of Athanasianism or the New Age Christ mythos adapted from
the notion of the perpetual reincarnation of the Buddha (actually Mithras—the
name of the New Age Christ is Maitreya, commonly taken from the canonical
Buddhist scriptures.)
Every conceivable stance on the
issue of Jesus’ nature has already been articulated and debated at one point or
another, if only to be lost to time or crushed under the wheels of ecumenicism. It is necessary to set a historical
precedent for any further investigations in order that they may be regarded as
authentic interpretations of Christian teachings rather than simply new
heresies. Fortunately there is, among the heresies discussed by Epiphanius and
the other heresiologists, only one which appears to be a completely sound and
logical belief system which is not also contradictory to scripture.
The Ebionites believed that
Jesus was a mere man according to the Arian assertion, but that he was inhabited
by the divine essence at his baptism. Christ is therefore God incarnate and not
the same physical entity as the man Jesus, who acted as the vehicle of the Holy
Spirit. The Ebionites were therefore probably the major proponents of the
doctrine of semi-Arianism. Where they diverged from the Nazarenes was in their
rejection of the virgin birth and of Paul’s ministry. On the one hand, the
virgin birth dogma is absurd, but on the other, it is apparent that they were
wrong for rejecting Paul’s doctrines concerning the Law since, as we have
already shown, they are in agreement with reason. So it is not as though we are
now saying that the complete theological perspective of the Ebionites was more
accurate than that of the Nazarenes, but historically speaking, if it were not
for these differences in doctrine we would have no basis for being able to
separate them at all.
The Ebionites’ assertion that
Jesus was a normal (rational, physical, natural) human being inhabited by the
Holy Spirit is necessary if we are to believe the details of his ministry.
There is simply no other logical explanation for why he died, if in fact he was
fully God to begin with. The spirit is, after all, life; it was not
until the spirit left him, apparently by his own volition, that he was even capable
of dying. This has profound implications for us, not only in breaking down the
barriers between the human nature of all men (including Jesus) and the divine
nature, but in how that nature is manifested within us—that is, in some of us
but not in others.
“He who loves his life shall
lose it, and he who hates his life in this world shall preserve it for
everlasting life.” John 12:25
If it was Jesus’ mission to
show us the way to eternal life then this could only have been achieved by the
surrender of his own. Thus his sacrifice was necessary, but not because
God demanded it; rather because it was the only way for him to prove that he
would live again, and consequently that we too shall live again. However, we
will only benefit from the resurrection if we, like Jesus, decide that
spiritual life takes precedent over the material life. This is one of the major
undercurrents in Jesus’ teachings and really separates the wheat from the
chaff. From the notes:
‘Michael’ means ‘God’s Likeness’ or
even ‘Who is God’ (not as an interrogative). This is clearly a reference to
Yahshuah as Immanuel, who is depicted in the Bible as “the exact representation
of [God’s] being”
(Hebrews 1:3 NIV). Another way to read this passage esoterically would be “the
Son is the radiance of God’s glory, and is Michael,” a reading which has significance
because Michael is understood to be the chief messenger/archangel, and the next
verse says “he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has
inherited is superior to theirs”
(NIV), the name obviously being Michael, since Immanuel (which means ‘God
among men’) is limited to his role on earth. The obfuscation of the meaning of the name of Michael is an
extreme case of Rorschach perception in epistemological theology, all the more
worth mentioning because it refers to Immanuel himself as God. By drawing a
distinction between Michael, the God of Israel in the Bible, and their Jesus,
the Roman incarnation of Mithras, and by placing Jesus above Michael, the
Christians have sealed the placement of Jesus as the Antichrist. This is
essentially because Michael is a real human being, and a real character in the
Bible. If he were just an invention of Jewish folklore then it would not
necessarily be the case that Jesus is the Antichrist, but in order to be such
he cannot be the same person as Yahshuah, and therefore must be distinguished
from Immanuel/Michael as well.
