The One True Way To Salvation?
There is great confusion today as to the true belief of the scripture. Indeed, there are over 40.000 Christian denominations that use the bible to justify their beliefs.
Add to that number the numerous other religious people who use the bible as their proof of truth. We should realize how many people say they are in the “truth” when referring to their belief, but believe varying doctrines.
Every denomination claims to be in the truth. However, truth is ultimate and is not variable. It is right, certainty, verity.
In other words, there can be only one truth of the scripture, made up of course, of a multitude of truths.
The Sect of the Nazarenes?
So this teaching today looks into the true belief of the scriptures. Strangely, the sect of the Nazarenes (Natsarim) is mentioned only once in the scriptures, but the understanding of the scriptures is only for those to whom it is given (Matthew 13:10-17).
Noteworthy is the fact that it was the Apostle Sha’ul who was described as such in Acts 24:5.
Act 24:5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Now the majority of the world is determined to make Sha’ul (who they call Paul) a Christian today. The Catholics make him to be a Catholic who they call Saint Paul.
Others are determined to make him a Hebrew Israelite (who they also call Paul).
But he was called a leader of the sect (heresy) of the Nazarenes. The word Nazarene comes from Nazareth (Yahusha of Nazareth), meaning a follower of Yahusha HaMashiach.
The Way
This sect is also called the way as Sha’ul declared in Acts 24.
Act 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
The way is a journey, not a religion. It is a way of life in which one denies self totally (Mat 16:24), surrendering all to be led by the Most High (John 3:3-8).
way
G3598
ὁδός
hodos
hod-os’
Apparently a primary word; a road; by implication a progress (the route, act or distance); figuratively a mode or means: – journey, (high-) way.

So this teaching shows what we should be following, and you will see that almost all believers do not follow the way of YAHUAH. You will see what it means when it says:
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Today, we declare to you the sect of the Nazarenes or the sect of the Natsarim and show what it entails and how to follow it. This is the one true way of the new testament/covenant in Yahusha HaMashiach, and it is the way we strive to follow here at Just a Word. Watch the video, or listen to the audio.
