    No He was not.

    He drank wine.

    The word Nazarite and Nazarene are two different words and don't mean the same thing.

    They are spelled differently.

    Nazarene."

    I heard one of the false prophets on the radio saying that Jesus was one.

    I laughed.

    There were probably thousands of people listening to him. They didn't have a clue. They think because you are on the radio you are of God.

    No. Nazerites were forbidden to drink wine, and Jesus did (else everyone would've known that the Pharisees were lying when they called him a "wine-bibber").

    Jesus did follow the traditions associated with the levitical priesthood, however. That's one of the reasons why he didn't begin his ministry until he was 30.

    He would have been if the Gospel writers had not transliterated Nazarite to Nazorean. Instead, they invented a new city.
