Inquiry: Who Are the Netzarim? Is both an historical summation and a logical discourse on the true identity of the Jewish Ribi Yehoshua Ben-Yoseiph Bën-Dâvid of Nâtzrat of the first century, and his only true followers (then and now) the Netzarim. Ribi Yehoshua was an Orthodox Torah Observant teacher in the Perushim community who followed and taught according to the Perushim halakhah (the corpus of teachings, judgments, and case law of the oral Torah plus the written Torah since given to Moshe at Har Sinai). As Mashiakh, Ribi Yehoshua sought to gather in the lost sheep of Israel (call non-observant Jews to be Baalim Teshuvim). Netzarim must needs be non-selective Torah submissive orthodox followers of halakhah under the auspices of the Beit Din established by Ribi Yehoshua HaMashiakh. (End)
