Do You Really Believe Him?: Understanding How Christianity Betrayed Jesus and His Narrow Path While It Embraced Paul and his Broad Road

By Evedyahni BenAvraham

Do You REALLY Believe Him? is about knowing the difference between what Jesus actually taught, and what everyone else tells you that he taught. This book challenges its audience to answer that very question - Do you really believe what Jesus tells you? -  for themselves after they finish reading the book. We examine exactly what it is that Jesus taught and defined as the narrow path, and we discover that it is distinctly different than what mainstream Christianity teaches through its most fundamental principles today. In this book we highlight the fact that the overwhelming majority of Christians and Messianic believers today follow the teachings of the apostle Paul, which were in all respects completely adverse to everything that Jesus taught.  In fact, we demonstrate that it was the apostle Paul who was most responsible for turning the early Christians away from Jesus and his narrow path so that they could follow after Paul and the broad path he advocated.  Finally, we challenge all those people who claim to follow after Jesus to finally do so for real.

PART I

Introduction

If you call yourself a believer in Christ, then you undoubtedly believe that the greatest example that mankind can hope to follow is that of Jesus. That being the case, then ask yourself: why aren’t you walking as he walked? Why aren’t you following the instructions that he instructed you to follow? Why do you choose to believe in and follow those who were diametrically opposed to him? Why do you do everything that he actually told you not to do? It shouldn’t come as a surprise to the myriads of Christians and Messianic believers that they are not actually walking in the path laid out by Jesus. If they were, then the world would not be in the perpetual state of darkness and chaos that it presently is in. But the level of contrariness towards Jesus and his instructions is so extreme as to constitute an actual betrayal, and that is something that neither Christians nor Messianic believers will admit to. The fact is, however, that the entire world full of Christians and Messianic believers do not in any manner follow after Jesus or the instructions he left behind for them, despite believing and proclaiming that they do.

This actually presents a problem to all of us because among those myriads of Christians and Messianic believers around the world not following Jesus’ instructions are the remnant of the Almighty’s Chosen Nation – the Hebrews. You see, according to the Bible, the ultimate Day of Redemption which the world now thirsts for is predicated upon the Hebrew Nation returning to the path which Jesus thoroughly advocated during his lifetime. The fact that we do not currently walk in that path serves as the greatest impediment to the realization of the Awesome Day we now so prayerfully anticipate. Simply stated, there will be no Day of Redemption in this world for all mankind until the Hebrew people, as a collective nation, have conformed their behavior in accordance with the requirements which Jesus so clearly laid out.

At this point, getting the collective body of Hebrew people to walk in that path seems to be a daunting task. That is because we as a whole have been thoroughly conditioned to forsake that path instead of walking in it. After generations of transmission, we have become convinced that the teachings relating to Jesus which have been taught to us and which we have come to rely upon are correct – despite the fact that they have not helped us out of our collective lowliness or secured for us the lofty results we seek and deserve. From father to son, and mother to daughter, we have blindly passed down the teachings which were handed to us without ever scrutinizing them to see if they were truthful or beneficial. We have been trusting of those who initially taught us about Jesus despite the fact that they never embodied the principles which they said he stood for. And we have remained steadfast in our acceptance of those false precepts, despite the fact that there is an abundance of evidence demonstrating that they are overwhelmingly incorrect. All of this has left us, and the world, pining for the Almighty’s promised redemption when the truth of the matter is that we are solely responsible for its absence in this world.

In order to get back to the point where we need to be we must finally scrutinize all of the fundamental precepts which we have been taught as they relate to Jesus. We need to examine the principles and tenets of Christianity which have been heaped upon us and compare them to Jesus’ actual words to see if they are in harmony with everything that he really taught. We need to determine if, in fact, the religion of Christianity in its present manifestation is everything that Jesus hoped it would be, or if it was somehow misappropriated by someone else for their own benefit. We will examine each of these crucially important questions in this book so that we can become the Nation we were meant to be, walking in the path that was specifically prescribed for us by Jesus, as opposed to simply being somebody’s stooge at the giving end of a collection plate. By the time you finish reading this book, all those among you who can actually stomach the truth will know exactly what it means to walk in the path of Jesus, as well as exactly what to do to help our Nation and this world experience the promised redemption that we so desperately need.

PART II

The Path Through His Eyes

A. Meeting him for the first time

Imagine being on a faraway deserted island, all alone with not another soul to be found for hundreds of miles. You have been placed there as a punishment as well as to become refined, and those who have banished you have left you no means whatsoever of communicating with the outside world. The only way to escape such a torturous fate is to become a good and upright individual, one who is
