I still want to know about those people around the world that started asking the same questions at the same time. How did they find each other, and where did they meet?
That looks like Allen West on the far right (heh). West finally conceded defeat today. He set a record for most money spent by a losing candidate for the House of Representatives.
I love how one of the things on the list is “First Fruits”
nothing like truth in advertising.
Yes, very good, but what’s happened with the Natsarim since then?
WTF?
Quote:
ROMAN CATHOLICISM IS MODERN MOLOCH WORSHIP - AND IT HAS “DAUGHTERS”.
Followed by a picture of Obama shaking hands with the pope and this caption:
** THE SOVEREIGNS OF THE EARTH HAVE COMMITTED WHORING WITH HER - REV 18:3**
I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but fuck that shit. I vote this stuff is Cookoo For Coco-Puffs
Isn’t what the OP describing pretty much textbook Fundamentalist - as in returning to the *fundamentals *of the religion - Christianity?
Presumably, they were able to recognize each other by the eerie white glow emanating from their eyes.
Here’s another Natsarim you all might be more familiar with.
The Barcelona Olympics, apparently.
The video for “Total Eclipse of the Heart” must have been filmed in a Natsarim monastery.
I love the Dope. It never fails to cheer me up.
That sounds a lot like Jehovah’s Witnesses. Throw in the Watchtower reference and it sounds even more like JWs. How does Natsarim belief differ from JW belief? Or, if you just want to talk about Natsarim belief in isolation, that’s cool, too.
It does sound like a religion, though. What makes it not seem like a religion to you?
Heretic.
The universe created itself, and then the gods were generated from forces you’re too young to be told the details of. Gaia-the-never-born was the first deity of consequence; she sired Uranus upon herself, then by him began Kronos and company. Kronos relieved Uranus of the burden of his balls, then with his sister Rhea began Zeus and his siblings, who after an unpleasant sojourn in their daddy’s intestines deposted him. With his aunt Metis Zeus began the greatest of all gods, Pallas Athena, who eventually kicked his ass out of Heaven. The throne of Olympus was then legitimately hers, but she’s not terribly interested in being worshipped; she just wants people to use their brain. She’ll still smite you for impertinent weaving, though.
What?
What about Nyx? Everyone forgets Nyx. Even Zeus was afraid of Nyx.
Bosstrain - I have a few questions specifically about your personal beliefs.
-
How long have you been a Natsarim?
-
What religion were you born into? Did you go directly from that religion to being a Natsarim, or did you abandon your prior religion (to atheism?) first?
-
What about the Natsarim appeals to you? Why did you choose it as a belief system?
Wow! That’s a new one to me, and I thought I knew the mythos fairly well. I’ve read my Hesiod, etc. Where does that detail occur in the tales of the gods?
(Something much like that happened in Wonder Woman comics, but I suspect you aren’t citing that!)
Skald is one of those Athenim. It’s not orthodox mythology.
whooOOOOoosh!
Heck, I’ll jump in.
First, either Lew White or a follower owned a used record store on Bardstown Drive in Louisville, KY called Electric Ladyland. It had a psychedelic decor & sold used records, band T-shirts, music magazines, incense & for a time, smoking paraphanalia, AS WELL AS Natsarim literature before they actually settled on that term. I have early editions of some of the books offered on the site.
That said- I have this question to the OP- What is the relationship between Abba Yahuah, His Son our Adonai Yahshuah, & the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)? Are the Father & the Son co-eternal & co-Deity or was there a time it was Abba Yahuah alone without His Son or Ruach? Does Ruach have personality or is It the non-personal Divine Energy which flows from Abba through His Son? When redeemed humanity comes into their full Eternal state will they in any way share in the Divine nature of Abba & Adonai? For those who will not be redeemed, will they last forever in the Gehinnom or go out of existence OR be blotted out & then resurrected & eventually restored?
Great Debates is also the forum set aside for witnessing, particularly religious witnessing. (We’ve occasionally broadened the definition of witnessing to include Conspiracy Theorists as a courtesy to them, but it typically refers to religious beliefs. )

I had not encounterd the Natsarim, previously, but I would hope that the fossilizedcustoms website is either a parody or the work of a member who is really not part of their core believers. Every single paragraph in the page I read contained one or more historical or linguistic errors. (People can wrangle over theology, forever, but if one cannot get basic factual information right, there is not much point in worrying about the other stuff.) As a seeker of “truth,” the author of that page should probably just go to college and take some classes in relevant topics.
They would say that the Christian Pentecost is paganized in that it’s timing is set to the paganized Easter, whereas Shavuot is set to Passover. Also, if they follow the Pharasaic timing of Shavuot, they might denounce it’s always being on a Sunday, which interestingly was a Sadducean practice.
