Excerpt from “Circumcision &
Salvation” by Kyle Matthews

“…The argument of the Nazarenes was that, since the Messiah had come, and made The Way of return possible, that the message should go out to the Lost Tribes to restore Israel, as it once was by bringing them, not into Judaism, but into their own inheritance, the inheritance of their ancestors of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. From the Nazarene perspective, the message is not one of universal eternal salvation from fiery damnation, but a universal offer to the Lost Tribes mixed in among the nations, whose ancestors were Israelites, an offer of salvation, from being lost, cut off, and forever forsaken. The Jewish sect of the Nazarenes, contrary to the sect of the Pharisees, saw themselves as Jews and a remnant of Israel purposed to restore all of Israel, rather than to be content being all that remains.

This cannot be stressed enough: there was no new religion. There was no church. There was no Christianity. There was only Judaism. Two opposing sects of the same religion arguing over what the future of their shared faith was supposed to be, and would become... the Pharisees were not opposed to preaching of the Gospel because it was a new religion.
