What Is The True Origin Of The Label "Christian"? The term christianos is a foreign Greek term to the first-followers of Yahusha that was, at first, applied to them in scorn. Christianos meant a simple person, or cretan, in that day. Another meaning for it in that day is smeared ones (as with oil), or idiots. Later, it came to be redefined, or reinvented, just as so many other formerly pagan practices have been. Lets look at the use of the two terms, christianos, and Natsarim, from both Scripture and their context in the days of the emissaries, or apostles.

Paul was being accused of being a ringleader, as in a circus, by a hired sophist (Tertullus). The ruler Felix understood the term Natsarim. Paul did not deny the term used for him and his hairesis, or sect. This is, in itself, quite revealing. The first-followers held the prophetic label Natsarim, Acts 24:5, from the prophecy of our appearing in the future at YirmeYahu / Jer. 31:6:
For there shall be a day when the watchmen (Natsarim) cry on Mount Ephrayim, Arise, and let us go up to Tsiyon, to ( Yahuah) our Elohim.
The first Christian sect worshipped Serapis at Alexandria, Egypt. From this, a syncretism or blending occurred, from which the Catechetical School of Alexandria later developed (first headmaster Pantaenus, 180-190 CE). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantaenus This early school is the source of many adopted patterns from pagans, blended together by the circus patriarchs that taught there. These men are held to be church fathers today.
were erected, one for Titus, and one for his father, Vespasian, who became emperor after the destruction of Yerushalayim. The greatest way to avoid this Fiscus Judaicus was to take on a new label, one that didnt sound like it was associated with the Yahudim, and practices that disassociated them from their roots. Thus, the Hebrew roots of the faith were severed, caused by this attempt to avoid taxation. The Greek label served the purpose of distinguishing them very effectively. We can stop this charade now, and be restored to the Hebrew roots without fear of being taxed.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. The Roman beast is identified as a scarlet beast (Rev 17:3). The former Pagan high priest and college of cardinals was the pattern of the Roman Mithraic culture, and has remained to this day. This pattern is not of Scripture and directed by Yahuah, but is of the world, and directed by the evil one. Examine this photo, and see if you recognize anything as being of Pagan Rome:
By feeding this false system, the world has gone after a Paganized pattern of worship, one based on a culture of blasphemous idolatry. There is nothing in this system remotely connected to our Hebrew roots, it only connects us with Pagan Rome, the scarlet beast. He who has eyes to see, let him see.
See, I am giving up those of the congregation* of Satan, who say they are Yahudim (worshippers of Yah) and are not, but lie. See, I am making them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the hour of trial which shall come upon all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth. Rev 3:9, 10 (*Note: synagogue means congregation, not a
building)
Google the words Fiscus Judaicus, and Catechetical School of Alexandria. It will cause you to experience a paradigm shift that you will be ever-so-grateful to have gone through. We will certainly strive to be sensitive and loving as we work to restore our Hebrew roots. Love is our highest goal as we spread the Name and the Word. The reason people cant get to the Truth is that they are not abiding (living) in Yahuahs Word: Joh 8:31, 32: So ( Yahusha) said to those Yahudim who believed Him, If you stay in My Word, you are truly My taught ones, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
