Bible Note: prayer warrior You point B is in error. There is a vast difference between a Nazarene meaning someone that is from the city of Nazareth and taking the vow of a Nazarite. Nazareth was city of Rome (Roman center of occupation) and people from Nazarene were actually considered Roman sympathizers. No one wanted to admit being from the city of Narareth. Samson lived as a Nazarite but he was most probably born in Zorah Judges 13. EdB |
