	Ebionites - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Ebionites were strict pacifists and vegetarians, and also believed in communitarian living and abstinence from alcohol.
		Some Ebionites such as Cerinthus adopted Gnostic beliefs but are better identified as Elkasites and were seen as heretics by traditional Ebionites, as well as Pauline Christians.
		It is also speculated that the core of the Gospel of Barnabas, beneath a polemical medieval Muslim overlay, may have been based upon an Ebionite document.

	Thelemapedia: The Encyclopedia of Thelema & Magick \| Manes
		Manes, born in western Persia (approximately 210-275 A.D.), was a religious preacher and the founder of Manichaeism, an ancient gnostic religion that was once prolific but now considered nonexistent.
		Manes, native to Mardin in Anatolia, first encountered religion in his early youth while living with a Jewish ascetic group known as the Elkasites.
		After receiving a revelation in his mid-twenties, he would come to a belief that salvation is possible through education, self-denial, vegetarianism, fasting, and chastity.

	Re: orion Essenes = 'osey hatorah?
		The name Ossene allegedly either means a "sturdy people" or "those most reckless." They lived in Transjordan in Nabatea, Moab, Perea and Iturea.
		They rejected the books of Moses (19.2.1) and were devoted to the writings of Elxai, founder of the Elcesaeans (Elkasites).
		They are closely related to the Elkasites and the Sampsaeans.

	Elkasites
		Elkasites is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
		Elkasites: Encyclopedia II - History of Christianity - The earliest emergence of Christianity
		Debatably and Biblically speaking, Christianity began with the Messianic promise (Gen 3:15) at the dawn of creation and therefore with Adam and Eve, the first people with faith in the Messiah (Christ) to come.

	History of Dogma - Volume I \| Christian Classics Ethereal Library
		The mystery-organisation most clearly appears in the Naassenes of Hippolytus, the Marcosians of Irenæus, and the Elkasites of Hippolytus, as well as the Coptic-Gnostic documents that have been preserved.
		The early Christian production 242of Gospel and Apocalypses was indeed continued in Gnosticism, yet so that the class of “Acts of the Apostles” was added to them, and that didactic, biographic and “belles lettres” elements were received into them, and claimed a very important place.
		To this category belong also the Ebionites and Elkasites of Epiphanius.

	Amazon.ca: Da Vinci Code Decoded: Books: Martin Lunn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Contrary to Brown and Lunn, Jesus did not have to be married, either by cultural mandate or legally.
		It was normal to be married, but there were also sects of Jews (the Essenes, including the Qumran culture, and the Elkasites) who were both celibate and respected, Lunn also ignores that John the Baptist was not married.
		Lunn regurgitates what Brown and the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail claim, though he adds a caveat at the end of the chapter admitting that 'some believe' the Priory is a hoax.

		Eusebius is the one crucial link to all the previous NT history and he is known to have "tweaked" the Bishop lists to produce an unbroken chain going back to the Apostles.
		Second century historian Heggeipus says that the Church remained of one voice and uncorrupted until the Apostles departed (Marcus, Christianity in the Roman World) but we know form the NT and history that three were other factions, the "Judaizers" (Ebionites and Elkasites) and libertines, early Gnostics, ect.
		The conservative apologetic would have us believe that there is a straight line of truth handed down from Apostles to Apostolic fathers to historians, ect.

	G-D Casting - by ya‛ăqôb
		Many modern scholars wonder what happened to those who required circumcision for Gentile converts.
		They attempt to trace these early Nazarene Christians through later groups, such as the Ebionites and Elkasites, who are derogatively called re-Judaizers, and who rejected the Christian movement as it was developing among the Pauline Christians.
		In other words, they believe that contrary to the writer of the Galatians, a rift between Paul and the other apostles was radical and permanent.

		If there is no hint of it in the evidence maybe it is the fancy of textual critics!
		But of course there is reason to assume a great diversity, but mot of the total differences were the split between Eboionties and Elkasites and other Jewish-Chrsitian factions vs.
		The real diversity would come in the second century when a full blown Gnosticism gets into the act.

		We were told to find any credibility or validity in the hypothesis of a Professor Eisenman at California State University.
		He theorized that the Qumran Scrolls were written by ancient Jewish Gnostic and Kabbalistic Sects like the Elkasites, Ossaeans, Ebionites, and the Nazareans that dwelled in the Jordan River Valley area.
		He also theorized that there may have been a relationship between the Qumran Origins and the Jerusalem Church of James the Just, who was the Leader and the Successor of Jesus over the Jerusalem Church.
