Dr. Charles Vaclavik (vegan) is a family physician in California, USA. He is also the author of “The Vegetarianism of Jesus Christ: The Pacifism, Communalism and Vegetarianism of Primitive Christianity,” published in 1986. A second edition was published in 1989 with the title “The Origin of Christianity.” “The Pythagorean doctrine is almost identical to Judaic Christian doctrine. That is, pacifism, communalism, and vegetarianism. I would also state that Judaic Christianity is identical with what I often call Judaic Pythagoreanism and the Nazarenes. And it was the society into which Jesus was born, and it was the society to which He was a member until His death.”“If you take the Hebrew 2 Kings 18:8, and read it in Hebrew, the word for Nazarene appears in it as Nazarene ‘watchtowers and fortresses.’ It is sometimes translated as ‘Christian’ because the Jews referred to the Christian as Nazarenes for all of antiquity.” “In Josephus’ description of the Essenes there is a phrase he uses. He says, ‘The Essenes are identical with what the Greeks call the Pythagoreans.’ The acquisition of vegetarianism was from Pythagoras; the very original Nazarene in 525 [BC] acquired that custom of not eating the flesh of animals, and they continued that doctrine throughout their history.” “In the ‘Panarion’ by Epiphanius, in number 30, he’s attacking a group of Christians called Ebionites. And he asked them, ‘Why are you refusing to eat meat?’ And their answer was because Jesus taught them that. And I think that is the best evidence that there is that Jesus was a vegetarian because a Nazarene, in the faith that Jesus professed as well, stated that he became a Nazarene because Jesus taught them vegetarianism.”
