Messianic Jew Or Orthodox Christian?

Brother Nathanael affirms his racial Jewish heritage while rejecting the Messianic Jew label, arguing it lacks apostolic succession and resembles Protestantism. He asserts that Orthodox baptism inscribes Christ's name on the forehead, rendering kosher laws or prayer shawls insufficient for atonement without a temple. Instead, he maintains that true atonement flows from the priesthood of Melchizedek preserved in the Orthodox Church through Holy Mass, concluding that the future belongs to the sons of God rather than the synagogue.

	Lots of people ask me, are you still Jewish?
	Well, yes, in a way, but in a way not.
	Racially, I'm still a Jew.
	Why deny it? Weren't St.
	Peter and Paul still Jews?
	I mean, racially?
	And didn't St.
	Paul once say to his fellow Hebrews, I am a Jew of the city of Tarsus?
	I can say the same, I am a Jew, but in the city of Pittsburgh where I was raised in Judaism.
	I can also say with St.
	St. Paul, I was brought up in the synagogue.
	And I add, went to Hebrew and Sabbath school, was bar mitzvahed, and raised in a Jewish
	home by two Jewish parents.
	But there's a difference now.
	I'm no longer a Jew religiously.
	I now believe in Jesus Christ.
	Many say I should call myself a Messianic Jew.
	But I'm a Christian now, and the name of Christ has been inscribed upon my forehead through orthodox baptism.
	Didn't St. John of the Apocalypse say that Christ's name would be written upon the foreheads of his followers?

	They're really Protestants, you know.
	A movement shaped some 1600 years after Christ set up His church.
	Messianic Jews, in my opinion, are basically Baptists with yamu kizan.
	You can't have a little bit of the Law of Moses with most of it left out.

	Keeping kosher and wearing prayer shawls doesn't quite get it.
	For without a temple and a priesthood, there's no atonement for sins.
	Atonement is through the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek, predicted by King David, intact in the Orthodox Church via

Are You Still Jewish? 00:02:13

Lots of people ask me, are you still Jewish?

Well, yes, in a way, but in a way not.

Racially, I'm still a Jew.

Why deny it? Weren't St.

Peter and Paul still Jews?

I mean, racially?

And didn't St.

Paul once say to his fellow Hebrews, I am a Jew of the city of Tarsus?

I can say the same, I am a Jew, but in the city of Pittsburgh where I was raised in Judaism.

I can also say with St.

St. Paul, I was brought up in the synagogue.

And I add, went to Hebrew and Sabbath school, was bar mitzvahed, and raised in a Jewish

home by two Jewish parents.

But there's a difference now.

I'm no longer a Jew religiously.

I now believe in Jesus Christ.

Many say I should call myself a Messianic Jew.

But I'm a Christian now, and the name of Christ has been inscribed upon my forehead through orthodox baptism.

Didn't St. John of the Apocalypse say that Christ's name would be written upon the foreheads of his followers?

And besides, Messianic Jews are beyond the pale of the historic apostolic succession.

They're really Protestants, you know.

A movement shaped some 1600 years after Christ set up His church.

Messianic Jews, in my opinion, are basically Baptists with yamu kizan.

You can't have a little bit of the Law of Moses with most of it left out.

The Order Executed 00:01:35

Remember that time you were in that hallway?

He's recording it all for everybody.

Sean Connery walks by, what do you do?

What do you do? What is expected of a godly man and a godly woman?

Keeping kosher and wearing prayer shawls doesn't quite get it.

For without a temple and a priesthood, there's no atonement for sins.

Atonement is through the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek, predicted by King David, intact in the Orthodox Church via

apostolic succession.

The order of the priesthood is to be executed on the day of the Holy Mass.
