​​In fulfilling our duty to reconnect the Body of Christ with the Culture of the Holy Covenants: The Church At Victorville, and the Kingdom of Yisrael Community Network, do hereby issue the following Decree:

 

The Unfortunate Demonizing of The Word ‘Christian’ Among Certain Yisraelite-Aware Factions As Representing The False Church, Is Etymologically Incorrect, Historically Inaccurate, Structurally Short-Sighted, and Strategically Unwise.

 

The Truth:

•  ​The first-century Messianic Yisraelites, being fluent in Koine Greek, the "Ebonics" of their day, undeniably referred to themselves as Christianos; which is simply a Greek word, later translated into the English word 'Christian,' and derived from the root word 'Christos,' meaning "anointed" (1 Kefa-Peter 4:16; Acts 26:28-29).

​

• The Messianic-Christian churches were gradually driven underground by a treacherous Roman military campaign, targeting the Desposyni; Yahushua's Royal Davïdic kinsmen - who presided over all Christians; until their three-hundred-year rulership was overthrown and usurped at the onset of Roman Catholicism (Eusebius; Church History: Book II, Chapter I; Book III, Chapter XXXII).

 

• The Melchizedek Order of the Royal Priesthood, duly restored by Christ, was co-opted by the new counterfeit Roman religion, founded on the pagan, pseudo-Christian Mithraism of Emperor Constantine I; and formalized at the Ecumenical Council of Nicaea, early in the fourth century.​

​

• Traditional Protestants and Eastern Orthodoxy have retained the root heresy in Catholicism: The Babylonian mother worship of 'The Queen of Heaven;' with their 'veneration' of "Holy Mary, Mother of God" as The Queen of Christ - born without original sin, and sharing rulership at His Right Hand...

​

Finally, the fact that many Yisraelite camps embrace the word 'Christ,' and yet demonize the word 'Christian,' is a glaring example of our cultural arrogance; in alienating the vast majority of the very people we seek to restore, based on a word that simply means "an anointed one." Sélah.

 

So - how can religious "churchgoers," who neither know nor obey the true Christ, be true Christians? And clearly, true Christians who claim a covenant connection with 'Judaism' have actually yoked themselves together with unbelievers... 

 

In fact, when we as Yisraelites in Christ designate the followers of Roman Catholicism and "Judeo-Christianity" as Christians, we legitimize the same religious systems we reject; by referring to the false shepherds and the enslaved followers they have defiled, as Christianos - anointed ones. YAH forbid! 

​

Today, the man-made religion referred to as Judeo-Christianity is a universal, multi-denominational, profit-driven, "non-profit corporation," consisting of many warring factions; with each variation rooted in the pseudo-Christian Mithraism of fourth-century Rome.
