Messianic, Apostolic & Arian Faith  -  Original Catholic Worship  -  Early Orthodox Christian Order  -  Modern Logic & Reason

In this site you will find many references to “Arian Catholicism,” which is the ecumenical ideology and theology of the early Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, upholding the doctrine and teaching of Jesus Christ (Jeshua the Messiah) and his apostles through the early Church and following the guidance of St Arius of Alexandria, teaching that Jesus was a man to be followed not worshipped, a tzaddik orthodox Jew, whom was the spiritual son of God and therefore God the Father and His son were not co-eternal nor of the same substance (Philippians 2:6-9), seeing the pre-incarnate Jesus (known as Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14)) as a divine being (though not a god or demi-god but more like an Archangel (Messenger of God) superior to Angels (Hebrews 1:3-4), see LXX Isaiah 9:6: “The Angel of Great Counsel”) but nonetheless created by (and consequently inferior to) the Father at some point, before which the son did not exist (Proverbs 8:22-31, John 14:28). Arianism was not founded by Arius, but named after him by officials of the evolving Graeco-Roman Catholic church. Its beliefs were founded, without a name, by the Apostles of Jesus the Messiah. The Arian Catholic Church applies logic, reason and modern understanding of both the Universe and the Scriptures to the early Church (sometimes referred to as “Early Apostolic Christianity”) that St Arius fought to protect, and which brings true Catholic Christianity into the 21st century. The Arian Catholic Church deems trinitarian Christianity as heresy and apostasy. 

1 Timothy 2:5-6a (NRSV) “For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself a ransom for all”

The Arian Catholic Church believes that a great Apostasy and Heresy occurred in the fourth century when at the first Council of Nicaea, Sylvester I (Patriarch of Rome - NB the office of Pope did not formally come into use until the early 5th century!), in spite of his absence, surrendered the church to Emperor Constantine I who oversaw the Council (Sylvester I was not recorded as even being in attendance) and marched many of the world’s clergy and faithful out of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church and into a Christo-Pagan sect known as Roman Catholicism. Ironically Emperor Constantine converted to Arianism, being baptised on his deathbed in 337 AD by Eusebius the Arian Bishop of Nicomedia. 

In this site you will be introduced to Arian Catholic thought and will be invited to join in with the Communion of true Holy Catholic Christianity which holds many familiar elements of the Sacraments, Liturgies and Services; but teaches the Gospel as taught by Christ and his Apostles. 

Matthew (The Great Commission) 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

  The discovery of Gabriel’s Stone 

In Jerusalem a tablet (referred to as Gabriel’s Tablet), three-feet-tall with 87 lines written in Hebrew is believed by scholars to date back to decades just before Jeshua’s birth. It is causing quite a stir worldwide with biblical and archaeology scholars, because it speaks about a Messiah who will rise from the dead after three days.

The tablet was found near the Dead Sea on the Jordanian side and it is a rare finding of a stone with ink writings from that time era. Some describe it as a type of Dead Sea Scroll written on stone.

This is an amazing discovery that proves that in the decades running up to Jeshua’s (Jesus’) time the old prophesies of Isaiah, Daniel, Zechariah and Haggai were believed to pertain to the imminent arrival of the Messiah!

See the discussion on the ACTS Forum.

  The 33 Theses of the Arian Catholic Church

Disputation on the Heresy and Apostasy of the illegitimate Ecumenical Councils recognised and advocated in whole or in part by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant and associated churches in the face of our Lord’s immutable and irreformable Church.  Download here.

“...the Father’s kingdom is within you and it is outside you.”
- The Gospel of Thomas 3c -
(see also: Luke 17:21b)

[The “Gospel of Thomas” is a sayings Gospel, found at Nag Hammadi and believed to be of great antiquity, containing what many consider the unspoilt sayings of Jeshua (Jesus) taken from part of the lost Q writings.

The Arian Catholic Church contests claims that the Gospel of Thomas is a Gnostic text, pointing out that the canonical Gospel according to John contains more verses that have Gnostic inferences.]

The Tomb of Jesus and his family found in Jerusalem

• There has not been an official announcement as yet, however the Archbishop Primus has received a copy of the DVD and the two books. An announcement will be made as soon as all the information has been carefully analysed, however, although there are some questions unanswered this revelation stands to rock the very foundations of the mainstream churches.

If these claims are true then...

• They confirm the existence of Jesus Christ.

• They stand to confirm the Arian Catholic position that Jesus was physically human.

• They support the Arian Catholic position that the Resurrection was a Spiritual event and that his body was not assumed into heaven.

• They also confirm the early fulfilment of Daniel's Prophecy of the Seventy sets of Seven when, as the head of the Royal dynasty, Jesus triumphantly rode into Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey as the Messiah and King of the Jews bringing the Royal family with him.

  Byzantine Style Icons of St Arius of Alexandria

As a process of market research, we are asking for expressions of interest in ordering Byzantine style Icons of St Arius of Alexandria. A limited number of these Icons will be made this summer. All Icons will be hand carved and hand painted using the traditional Byzantine style of gold leaf, layers of traditional coloured hagiographic paints mixed with egg, but using old English Oak approximately A4 in size by 1" thick finished with local Beeswax. Each Icon will be lovingly blessed, using Holy Oil from Olives of the Holy Land with Frankincense, by the Primate Archbishop. The Oak will be prepared by an Arian Catholic Monk or Minister being blessed at each stage and will be painted by the wife of the Primate Archbishop who is a teacher of Art and Design by profession and has a Russian Orthodox background.

Each batch of Icons will take about 1 month to make and will be made to order. As the materials used are quite expensive the price will depend on the number of orders received, which is estimated in the range of GB£70.00 - 140.00 each. The Icons will be produced from June until September 2009. All proceeds will be re-invested into the Church to help cover the costs of training and ordaining Arian Catholic clergy around the world.

If you would be interested in purchasing an Icon please express your interest by e-mail or in writing (cont@ct_us) and we will contact you during Spring 2009 to confirm details and an order form will be made available on this site. 

¹⁷ “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfil.
¹⁸ For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.
¹⁹ Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
²⁰ For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
