Dear Editor,

We are not a denomination or even non-denominational. We are no denomination and not trying to start a new church or a new religion. We are returning to the ways of the original followers of the Messiah, The Natsarim/Nasarenes. Is the Messiah in today’s Christianity?

There are 2,000 denominations in this country today. Is He in all of the denominations today and does He agree with all of them, with all the many different doctrines/teachings and ideas out there? He came to build His Assembly (1 Corinthians 14:33 “the whole verse” and yet we have many Churches. He came teaching only one doctrine (His Father’s)(Matt.15:8-10; John 7:15-17) and yet we have many doctrines. He came to preach the truth (John 14:6; 2 Thess. 2:3-12 “emphasis on verse 12”), not a truth and yet we have many truths. Everyone has their own interpretation when we should let the scriptures interpret themselves. Everyone thinks they can read things into scriptures or take them out of context when we should strive to keep scripture in context (read 1, 2, 3, or more verses before and after a single verse). Man does not have the authority to overrule our Creator.

He has authority over all things because He created all things. There is only one Assembly, one truth, and only one teaching/His Law comprised of 10 commandments. We are not saved by the Law, but we are saved from the condemnation of the Law through His grace (Romans 6:1-3) and His final sacrifice as the sacrificial lamb for our sins, that through Him we might be saved.
