EMUSPATEL F.A.Q.s:
Answers to Frequent Questions About US (*** PG ***)
ShaLoM! (God's Peace be to you.) We are glad that you are curious
about us.
May you give some seriously consideration to what we tell you
in the following answers.
1. ARE YOU SOME KIND OF WHITE SUPREMACY GROUP?
(After all, Northern Europeans, which you concentrate on, are
WHITE!)
Unfortunately, we get this a lot, so let me make Our position very
clear. While Our emphasis in the NORDESEL is on Northern Peoples,
it is equally clear that those of other races and ethnic groups will
be ingathered or RETURNED, too (in the ShuVaH). For, not only is this
what the Holy Scriptures tell us (Isaiah 60:1-5, 63:16, 66:12;
Zechariah 2:10-12, 10:10), but historically, the Vikings (as the
remnants of the Northern Kingdom of Israel), in their heyday, imported
a lot of African and Asian slavegirls (and then in their collapse,
exported many blonde slavegirls to Africa and Asia). Consequently,
there should be a generous mixing of Viking (or Nordic) blood with
those of other races. So, while Our NORDESEL Calling centers on the
Northern Nations (Jeremiah 16:14-15), we expect (and are very open to)
those of non-white ancestory. For, as the good old song says: Red,
Yellow, Black, or White (or green-skinned Martian), they are precious
in HIS sight! (And Our's, too!)
2. ARE YOU SOME KIND OF NEO-NAZI GROUP? (Or, Aryans?)
(For you DO believe in Nordanity!)
Absolutely not! As we have said (above), while the NORDESEL focus is
on the Northern Nations or Nordics (as the MAIN branch of the
Descendants of the Northern Kingdom of Israel--see Article on
NORDIC ANTIQUITIES [Nordanity]), we do NOT
maintain that they are the ONLY Descendants, but other Peoples are
sure to be involved, too (Isaiah 19:24-25). Moreover, we definately
do NOT want to become involved in the errors of the Nazi philosphies,
which brought about the downfall and destruction of Germany and Our
Tysk (Proverbs 14:34 and Isaiah 60:12)!
Seriously, we consider ourselves Israelites. (Not Nazis!)

3. AREN'T YOU ANTI-SEMITIC? (And Jew haters)?
NO! Rather, we are very Philo-Semitic (Zechariah 8:23 and Romans
11:16-25). And, if you trace our lineage, you'll find that the GahTSK
or Northern Goths, who became the Vikings and Varangians, were
Messianic (or a kind of Jewish-Christian). So, as a Northern Hebrew
Peoples, Descendants of our fore-father, Abraham (Romans 4:12-18 and
I John 2:9-11) we tend to be strong supporters of Jews. And we are
very appreciative of the Jewish Roots of our Faith! Furthermore,
we consider ourselves part of the current ShuVaH or RETURN of the
Israelites back to God. So, how could we be anti-Semitic?
4. ARE YOU JEWISH, THEN? (A new Jewish sect?)
Unfortunately, that seems to be an endless debate! So, let's review
some of the points for consideration.
As Descendants of Abraham, through Keturah (Genesis 25:1-6 and
I Chronicles 1:32-33), the GahTSK or Vikings are certainly a Hebrew
Peoples. But, whether we are fully Jewish or not depends on your
definition of what a Jew is (Romans 2:28-29). However, there is no
question in our minds that the Radical Anti-Semites (or RAS) view us
as Jews! But, many Synagogues, using the strict definition of the
Talmud, hold that we are not--for we do not keep our lineage by our
mothers nor are grandmothers (who traditionally need to be registered
Jewesses). Rather, we follow the patrilineal descent line, found in
Scripture. Moreover, as We hold that Y'Shua (Jesus) was the Messiah,
the Talmudists insist that we can't be Jewish, because we are Christian
(and that is somehow suppose to be mutually exclusive). Therefore, We
simply maintain that we are HEBREW and refer to ourselves as
Meshianites (Christian-Hebrews), emphasizing our focus upon the Messiah
(Y'Shua or Jesus). Furthermore, as to the Y'HuDeyM, we are definately
PRAISERS-OF-GOD, so in that sense of the term, we are, indeed, Jewish!
So, go figure!!!

In additon, We follow in the Ancient Teachings of the Sons of Zadok
or Saducees (in their early days), where they opposed the Talmud and
insisted that only the Tanach (Old Testament) could be regarded as
Torah or Law (Holy Scripture)--like an early Jewish Sect. But, Our
inclusions of teachings from the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) causes
many Jews (especially the Talmudists) to say that we cannot be Jewish
(as we are Christian). However, We like the Mediavel blending of the
Judeo-Christian Heritage, such as we find common in the early days of
the Vikings (where the Arabs were accepted, too)!
5. ARE WE OUT TO RIP JEWS AWAY FROM THEIR CULTURE?
(And CONVERT them to the dictates of Western, Gentile
Churchianity?)
WOW! Unfortunately, history is full of Pograms and Church Crusades to
force the conversion of Jews to Gentile Christianity. And, in the
process to strip them of any Jewish Heritage or Culture. This is a
very sad thing! And we have no intention of doing so! (For, this was
apparently done to my Family back in England around 1372, where they
either converted and joined the Church of England--or expelled from
Britain [or died]. Yet, my Family continued to maintian its Jewish
Roots and Heritage, in private, handing it down quietly, father to son,
for generations.)
Consequently, those who are more fully Jewish and join us are quiet
welcome to keep up their own Jewish Heritage. And, in fact, we have
incorperated many Jewish concepts into the development of Our own
Hebrew Culture or Divine Culture (much as the GahTSK or Vikings appear
to have done, which helped to give rise to the Mediavel World of Feudal
Europe). Moreover, while we are Congregational (and believe in
gatherings for Believers), we are not of the Church, nor are we of the
Synagogue. Rather, we are firmly planted in the GAP between
(Galatians 2:7-9), serving as a bridge between Church and Synagogue
(and Mosque). For, We are out to Call all Hebrew Peoples (Jews,
Christians, and Muslims), anyone Descended from Abraham (by bloodline
or by adoption), back to God! For, the Call of God to RETURN, is to
whosoever will!

6. ARE YOU MORMONS (or Secret LDS), THEN?
(After all, you aren't much of a traditional church!)
NO! In the first place, our doctrines center on the traditional
teachings of the Holy Scriptures (such as the Trinity, the Virgin Birth,
the Bible as God's Word, etc.), which are completely incompatible with
Mormon doctrines! (For more details on this, see Our basic teachings
under the Article on
Our Mediavel Foundations.) And, in the second place,
we are very vigorous in keeping Cultists or Lodge members (or any
others who may have hidden agendas) out of our Leadership (I John
4:1-6). Furthermore, in the third place, we definately do not want to
be tainted by God's Curse on the Mormons (Galatians 1:6-12
and Revelations 22:18-19)! However, there seems to be something of
a witch-hunt going on in our area for Secret Mormons, and all kinds
of people are being accused of all kinds of things (most of which are
not true). Meanwhile, the real Secret LDS (and subversives) run
amuck, unrestrainted! It is bizarre.
Furthermore, while some books on Mormonism assert that they claim
to being Jews (the Lost 10 Tribes, apparently through the Indians?),
it is highly doubtful that any REAL Jew would consider that claim
valid! (And certainly, any Rabbi asserting it would be very
questionable!)
7. ARE YOU SOME KIND OF OTHER CULT, THEN?
(Afterall, aren't you guys New Age?)
Absolutely not! (But, then, unfortunatelyy, all Cults claim that they
aren't.) So, first of all, our doctrines come straight out of those
that are very standard among the Judeo-Christian Heritage (as we
covered above). Secondly, in our view, totalitarian mind control or
brainwashing is of of the Devil (II Corinthians 4:1-7), and among our
People there is a certainly plenty of freedom (II Corinthinas 3:17).
Thirdly, while we have done (and will do) Outreaches and Campaigns to
bring people from the Occult and Pagan Magic users back to God,
Our Idoclastic Call Policy ought to more
than convince you that New Age magic has no place among us.
However, as we are Pentecostal or Charismatic, and believe in the
modern supernatural Manifestions of G-D's Power and Presence (i.e.
miracles), [which is also closely connect with Jewish Mysticism], some
continue to insist that we are New Age. (And, if you are interested in
this raging controversy, see our teachings under the Articles on
Engiftment, below.)

8. ARE YOU SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL SCAM?
No! (What craziness!) For there are certainly better ways (and more
profitable, too) to make money. For, with the World's modern attitude,
all you have to do is say the word RELIGION and people run from you.
So, if you think a Cultural Religious Society is just a front for
ripping people off monetarily, you need to go see your shrink! (Your
own avarice is beginning to get to you.) And, consider the warning
of the Scriptures (I Timothy 6:10)! Personally, I don't see how
people can even think this. The Works of God here should be more than
obvious, if you'll just open your eyes and LOOK.
9. ARE YOU SOME KIND OF SEX FIENDS?
Absolutely not! However, this is a common accusation of most Jews by
the RAS (Radical Anti-Semites) for there is a difference between Hebrew
sexuality and the code of Churchianity. (And this is commonly
exploited by those filled with Jew hatred. See Our
OSD Literature for details.) So, what are
the dividing lines, here?
The Holy Scriptures clearly teach us that sex is a sacred act, that
needs to be treated with proper respect and care (and not held as mere
casual contact, or open to Pagan over-indulgence, as the wicked of the
world try to teach it). But, then we are not as the puritanical
Gnostics, who founded the views of the Religious Establishment, which
holds that ALL sex is evil (and it is only to be tolerated for the
necessary evil of reproduction). For, God presents a healthier, more
natural attitude in the Scriptures (Proverbs 5:18-19 and Hebrews 13:4).
Consequently, we tend to follow the Hebrew view and have a more
tolerant attitude towards romance and matters of the heart.
Moreover, when God created the World, HE designed many Mysteries
into it, including several related to sex (Ephesians 5:31-32). And,
from time to time, we will discuss these. So, PARENTS, if you are of
a mind to keep your children from the natural facts of life, as plainly
given in the Scriptures, then this Web Site (and especially the ZDK
LIBRARY), isn't a place to be letting them run freely! So, it is up
to you to control them! For, We feel that people (even some children,
because of what they are already hearing from the wicked world) need
to know just exactly what God says in HIS Word, concerning Love, Sex,
Romance, and Mariage. Thus, these will be discussed in appropriate
places in Our various works. So, be advised! Normally, materials in
Our Web Site are rated G, but some here are PG or perhaps PG-13.
And they are usually plainly labled so. Use your own discretion.
Furthermore, the Teachings of Moses very clearly sets forth certain
acts as being abominations or perverted and hence Taboo or banned
from being practiced. And, as these are part of the
Noahic Rules of Fellowship (which we
ascribe to), we do intend to uphold, maintain, and enforce them, even
as they were endorsed by the Great Council of Jerusalem (Acts
15:19-21). Thus, we expect Freedom and Liberty to be balanced by
self-control and personal restraint among our members. So, how do you
find sex fiends in that? (Perhaps in your own fantasies?)
10. ARE WE MALE CHAUVINIST PIGS?
(Oh, no! Here we go!) Seriously, what else could you expect? For,
while some of the modern churches tend to be of, by, and for women,
Synagogues (and Mosques) tend to be of, by, and for MEN. And,
historically, the Judeo-Christian Culture has always been very
Patri-focal and MALE DOMINATED. In addition, the GahTSK or Vikings
were notorious for their capture, purchase, and trading of
women as slaves. And their culture was very Patri-focal and male
dominated, as well. So, given these centuries of background,
how could you expect Our Realm (which is into Reviving these
Old World Ways) to be anything else? Therefore, if you are into
liberation (and can't stand Real Men), then we strongly suggest
that you go elsewhere, for you aren't going to be happy here.
For our men, are REAL men, not eunuchs (and our women seem to like it
that way).
For more on this hot topic, consult Our Articles on
MEN ISSUES and the companionate interests
in WOMEN ISSUES for Our Realm. (*** PG ***)
RETURN to the Messiah!
Joining the ShuVaH or RETURN is difficult for some people. So, to
help you out, we have put together something of a short Course that
will help you get your life on fire for G-D (like most Messianics).
And, in so doing, it will give you a deeper appreciation and
understanding of your own Jewish Roots and Heritage! So, follow us
back to the Messiah!
