Given the recent craze on social media among wild-eyed Evangelicals, Judeo-Christians and even some Catholics replacing the name of Jesus with 'Yeshua,' we decided to find out if there's a basis for their claims.Episode hosted by Presbyter Darren Kelama and produced in association with the Journal of Pre-Nicene Christian Studies (ISSN: 3068-8469).Ἰησοῦς = JesusPronunciation: Approximately "ee-AY-soos" or "yay-SOOS," with the emphasis typically on the second syllable ("SOOS").Koine Greek alphabet:https://greekforall.com/learn-biblical-greek-grammar/biblical-greek-alphabet/Marcionite Church Inscription:Συναγωγή Μαρκιωνιστῶν κώμης Λεβάβων τοῦ κυρίου καὶσωτῆος Ἰησοῦ Χρηστοῦ, προνοίᾳ Παύλου πρεσβυτέρου, τοῦλχ' ἔτους ("Meeting house of the Marcionites of the village of Lebaba of the Lord and Savior Jesus the Good, under the oversight of Paul the elder.")Marcionite inscription episode:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L8TCspXmusOther Christian inscriptions:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_MT6xS2bBwThe Very First Bible (free ebook):https://www.theveryfirstbible.org/Presbyter Monnet (French Pontiate):https://www.youtube.com/@EgliseMarcioniteMarcionite Church:https://www.marcionitechurch.org/Journal of Pre-Nicene Christian Studies:https://journal.pre-nicene.org/

In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the essence of early Christianity—before it became intertwined with the Roman Empire and cult of Messianic Judaism. We’re stripping away the grandeur, the pageantry, and the complex theology of later traditions to explore a simpler, more intimate form of the faith. This is a time when Christianity was defined not by cathedrals or massive religious institutions, but by small house churches, humble leaders, and a singular gospel.Join us as we discuss the Pre-Nicene Christians, who were not bound by the later, Judaized versions of Christianity but held firm to a faith centered on Paul’s singular gospel, written in 34 A.D., long before the four anonymous gospel accounts we know today. This early Christian movement was focused on the teachings of Jesus, with an emphasis on the concept of God as "Our Father" and a direct connection between Christ's earthly life and his divine nature.We'll also take a closer look at the first Christian Bible, as transcribed by Saint Marcion in 144 A.D.—an early canon free from the Old Testament's Torah scriptures. The Pre-Nicene Christian way of life was one of simplicity, with house churches and presbyters at the forefront. These early believers lived in relative anonymity, using their home gatherings to avoid persecution from the Roman Empire, which sought to stamp out the faith. In fact, we'll explore the fascinating history of the Dura-Europos house church, the oldest Christian house church in the world, and the artifacts that reveal how these early communities worshipped in secrecy.Finally, we'll reflect on the role of the presbyter—how these leaders, unlike today’s priests, were grounded solely in Christian teachings, never distracted by the merging of Judeo-Christian traditions that would come centuries later.This episode takes you back to a time when Christianity was not a state religion but a humble, resilient movement that survived through simplicity and faith. Tune in for a fresh perspective on the early days of Christianity—before it became what we know today.The first Christian Bible of 144 A.D.https://www.theveryfirstbible.org/Presbyter Traininghttps://www.marcionitechurch.org/Presbyter-Training.htmlMass, Baptism, and Prayers of the First Christians (2020)https://payhip.com/b/7ZQqJournal of Pre-Nicene Christian Studies ISSN: 3068-8469https://journal.pre-nicene.org/Marcionite Churchhttps://www.marcionitechurch.org/Pre-Nicene Christian Ecclesiahttps://www.pre-nicene.org/Watch Marcionite Masshttps://www.youtube.com/@EgliseMarcioniteWilliams, R.

Judaizers have been trying to blur the line between their religion and Christianity for thousands of years but it wasn't until the 19th century that they found a 'magic word' that would be instrumental in deceiving millions of Christians. In today's episode we look at the history, timeline and etymology of the word 'Judeo-Christian' and how it was used to drag America into WWII and now into more 'forever wars' in the Mideast.To understand how and why Western governments have been hijacked and are teetering on collapse look no farther than this weaponized word and the well-financed marketing efforts behind it.Notes:Joseph Wolffhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_WolffFather Charles Coughlinhttps://www.ssa.gov/history/cough.htmlJudeo-Christianhttps://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Judeo-ChristianConversoshttps://www.museodelprado.es/en/whats-on/exhibition/the-lost-mirror-jews-and-conversos-in-medieval/ac516c08-08d9-42fb-a7fd-1cba121e9946The first Christian bible of 144 A.D.https://www.theveryfirstbible.org/First-Bible-App.htmlYahweh Derangement Syndrome: Deconstructing The Devil's Greatest Trick
As acceptance of The Very First Bible of 144 A.D. begins to go mainstream, the world of academia is trying to keep pace with the underlying theological implications. Are they getting it right?

Through The Lord's Prayer, Jesus not only reveals to us the name of God but also how to ask for His gifts. It's hard to overstate the importance of each and every word in the most significant prayer in Christianity - and yet it has been tampered with many times over the last 2,000 years. In today's episode we take a deep dive into the history of the prayer, explore the edits in detail (including the removal of the words 'Holy Spirit') and reveal the original prayer in its entirety.Notes:Original Lord's Prayerhttps://www.theveryfirstbible.org/lordsprayer.htmlContrasting Pope's statement with scripturehttps://www.marcionitechurch.org/Antithesis.htmlRoman Emperor hunts down every last copy of The Gospel of the Lordhttps://www.bible.ca/b-canon-diocletians-destruction-constantines-production-scripture.htmChurch begins distancing itself from barbaric Yahweh deity by removing its name from liturgyhttps://catholic-resources.org/ChurchDocs/CDWDS-Name-of-God-2008.htmWhy the prayer and bible was originally written in Greekhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AkDsOKYcPALearn more about suppressed Pre-Nicene Christian historyhttps://www.pre-nicene.org/

In 2018, a grave containing a human skeleton was discovered near a construction site on the outskirts of Frankfurt, Germany. Within the 1,800 year-old grave was a clay pot, an incense bowl and upon further examination, a silver amulet was discovered under the jaw of the skeleton. And only now do we know what was written inside the amulet.

Today's question on Presbyter Chat: Was Pope Francis right when he said every religion is a way to God? Heresy is only half the answer - the other half is wrapped in a mysterious edict issued by the Vatican in 2008. And it may go a long way in explaining why this Pope has broken away from 2,000 years of doctrine and dogma.

Today we reconstruct mass just as it would have been celebrated in the 2nd century by the Pre-Nicene Christians and as outlined in the liturgical guide 'Mass, Baptisms and Prayers of the First Christians,' published by the Marcionite Christian Church (MarcioniteChurch.org). Overview: In many ways, this mass is reflective of the widespread persecution endured by the Pre-Nicene Christians from 33 A.D. - 325 A.D. as more often than not, it would be celebrated underground, in caves or private homes and away from their enemies. At the time, all Christians had but one bible - The Very First Bible of 144 A.D. and it would have accompanied parishioners during mass. It was traditional that Saturday be a day of fasting and mass be celebrated on Sunday beginning at dawn with a Service of the Word. #prenicene #liturgy #apostlepaul #mass #communion Pre-Nicene Mass: https://www.marcionitechurch.org/catacombchurch.html The Very First Bible: https://www.theveryfirstbible.org Liturgical Guide Free Ebook/PDF: https://payhip.com/b/7ZQq Pre-Nicene Christian Ecclesia: https://pre-nicene.org PCRN Radio: https://pre-nicene.org/radio.html
