About our Schule

Shalom and welcome to Bei Abedan (בי אבידן), the Anabaptist Schule for Messianic Noahides and non-Hareidim interested in 7th Day Anabaptism (Messianic Noahide Judaism) from the Perush perspective especially as formed under the 1st century Romaniote Minhag. (Please note that "schule" is an ancient Romaniote word.)

Our schule promotes Anabaptist Successionism starting with the Donatists then Tsabis then Tazigian Alids then Paulicians then Bohemian Cathars then 7th day Anabaptists and preserves the millennialist 7th-day Anabaptist school of Professor Vendyl Jones (of blessed memory).

There are only 2 legitimate ways in Orthodox Judaism:

1. The way for the Qehal Yehudim
2. The subordinate way for the Ger/Noahide-Umot haOlam as taught by the Scribes & Pharisees

For the former, please contact your Local Orthodox Rabbi since the Bei Abedan Schule focuses only on the latter. 

Like all Anabaptists, we accept 325AD-Nicea's 50 copies of the Bible and Hasmonean Calendar (which identifies the week of the new moon closest to the spring equinox as the first week of the year) and can accept Nicea's version of the Apostolic Creed, reject Quartodecimanism but also in line with the Donatists reject all Constantinian distortions thereafter. 

Over the ages a Bei Abedan could be known by various names such as Masjid, Erevrav Kanesa even Synagogue of the Arabs. In the Talmud, the Bei Abedan is mentioned as a Kanesa where Qehal & Goyim (thought to be Pseudognostic Ebionites) would come together to discuss scriptures like the Evangelion. Bavli Shabbat 116 a&b tells us that this is where Rav Gamliel learned about the contents of the Evangelion and that Rav Mar Bar Yosef was one of those counted in the Bei Abedan until 333AD. Hence, this Schule has been established to restore a Bei Abedan in the original spirit of that initial understanding and pre-333AD cooperation which used to exist between the most friendly and cooperative Jews and "Evangelic" Gerim.

Here at the Bei Abedan Schule you will be able to find out about the history of Noahide Judaism, the origin of the Messianic Noahides as well as where and how, despite persecution, they and the Jewish Kehillot were able to survive through the ages right into the present. You will be able to learn about the Hebrew roots of the Messianic Noahide holidays and how Messianic Noahides can observe them today. You will also find information about Havdalah and Yom tov sheni shel galuyot events for Jews and Messianic Noahide friends wherever they may be. The most serious among you will even be able to train as a Petter Chamor Shammash for Messianic Noahites.

Whatever your interest in Noahide Judaism, we hope that in time our virtual Schule will be your one stop shop. So why not contact us and let us know what it is you would like to know.

Messianic Noahides preserve a simple 7th day Anabaptist faith but identify as Messianic Hebrews (NOT Messianic Jews who we denounce as fraudsters) continuing in the Hebrew Christian tradition of the Marranos etc.. 

We believe that true faith entails a spiritual regeneration by God's grace and power followed by righteous living. While we accept Cyril of Alexandria's Oriental Orthodox Miaphysite Celestial Flesh Christology, our implicit theology is practical, not theoretical and can be discovered best by talking to us as we take little interest in explicit, formal, and systematic theology. Believers are those who have become spiritual children of God. The pathway to salvation is marked not by a forensic understanding of salvation by 'faith alone', but by the entire process of repentance, self-denial, faith rebirth and obedience. Those who wish to tarry this path should go through a baptism after the spiritual regeneration. We heavily emphasize the importance of obedience in the salvation journey of a believer. We emphasize an adherence to the beliefs of the early Christian faith and are thus distinguished by the keeping of practices such as the observance of feetwashing, the holy kiss, and communion (with these three ordinances usually being practiced collectively in the Agape), Christian headcovering, nonconformity to the world, nonresistance, forgiveness, and sharing possessions, which ideally should takes on the form of communal living.

There are seven ordinances each one corresponding to one of the 7 laws. They include believer baptism to cure theft, communion to cure idolatry, footwashing to cure tumah, marriage to cure immorality, anointing with oil to cure murderousness, the holy kiss to cure injustice, and the prayer covering to cure blasphemy. Ordinances bring one into conformity with the truth of Jesus Christ, whose life, crucifixion, death, and resurrection have so fundamentally altered all of humanity and creation that human beings are now capable of works of loving obedience that reveal the indwelling presence of God in Christ in all people.
