Nazarene is a sect of Jews that believes Yeshua/Jesus is the promised Messiah and kept the wiriten law, and rejected the oral law, around the time of Yeshua’s mortal ministry.
This video brings out how the first followerrs of Yeshua/Jesus were called Nazarenes (bad translation). I have been calling myself a Nazarene Mormon for quite some time now. There is a little I disagree with the author on, where the BoM and D&C clear up some difficult subjects.

My Base
Mark 1:24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of NAZARETH? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was SPOKEN BY THE PROPHETS, He shall be CALLED a NAZARENE.
John 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom MOSES IN THE LAW, and the PROPHETS, did WRITE, Jesus of NAZARETH, the son of Joseph.
Acts 24:5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the NAZARENES:
Lamentations 4:7
A Her Nazarites [Nazarenes] were purer than snow [righteous],
B they were whiter than milk [kept the commandments],
A they were more ruddy [red] in body than rubies [wisdom],
B their polishing was of sapphire [10 commandments]:
JST John 1:18 is another one to look at for support of JST being what Joseph Smith said it was. In that without it, and JST John 1:16, there would be no B stanzas. In addition, neither would there be reinforcing ABC sub-stanzas in in them.
JST John 1:1-19 Chiasmus
