	Gospel of the Ebionites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gospel of the Ebionites is a text sharing an affinity with the Gospel of the Hebrews and the Gospel of the Nazoraeans.
		Epiphanius, whose writing is the main source for finding fragments of the Gospel of the Ebionites, emphasises the distinction between the Gospel of the Ebionites and that of the Nazoraeans.
		According to Epiphanius, the Nazoraeans were considered part of the Christian orthodoxy, whereas the Ebionites were considered heretics, and so it is clear that there must have been theological and doctrinal differences between the two, related, Gospels.

	Wikinfo \| Nazoraean
		It is not clear however, exactly why the Sabomenoi of the Roman Empire decided to disregard the position of their Jewish half and eventually abandoned Halakhah forcing its Jewish half to do likewise though since many Sabomenoi were converted from among the Nasaraioi, the simplest answer could be that old habits died hard.
		This event in 333CE caused its more orthodox Sabomenoi to flee with the Jewish Nazoraeans beyond the reach of the empire to the Arabah where they continued to exist long enough to have an influence on early Islam before it was reformed by Caliph Usman.
		At this point under the sword of the rapidly expanding Caliphate it seems the last members of the sect were gradually assimilated into Islam or sects of Nasaraioi.

	The Book by Gilles C H Nullens - Introduction
		The Nazoraeans kept John's practice of baptism but for a different reason, that is, to bestow the Divine Power of the unseen Lord on men in the name of Jesus.
		Other members of the Nazoraean community were not so open minded and this led to some conflicts between the two branches of the Christian Church.
		Like the primitive Nazoraeans and the Jews, the Christians thought that the end of the world was near, and they expected that Jesus would come back soon.

	The Earliest Gospel
		Thus a common Christology underlies all these fragments of old tradition regarding the martyr James, the Nazoraeans, and the descendants of the family of Jesus.
		And the apocalyptic outlook, centering in the coming Parousia of the Son of Man in Galilee when that land will become fully and forever the land of promise, the center of the New Age, is likewise reflected in Mark, especially in the two verses 14:28 and 16:7.
		The Nazoraean theology -- or piety -- was of course only one among several streams of tendency and tradition in the early church.

	The genealogy of Jesus.
		In the gospel among them named according to Matthew, but not all very complete, but illegitimized and adulterated, but they call it the Hebraic [gospel], it states: There was a certain man, Jesus by name, and he himself was about thirty years old, who elected us.
		These passages let us know that the respective gospels of the Nazoraeans and of the Ebionites were, at least by the time of Epiphanius, different documents.
		The Nazoraean gospel he considered very complete (πληρεστατον), despite its possible omission of the genealogy of Jesus, while the Ebionite gospel he called not all very complete (ουχ ολω πληρεστατω).

		Then he said to me: 'This is what Jesus the Nazoraean taught me: "Of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered it, and unto the hire of a harlot shall they return it: it has come from dirt, and to the place of dirt it shall go." ' "
		The movement of John the Baptist was nipped in the bud by Antipas.
		A Nazoraean attempt to seize Jerusalem led to the crucifixion of Jesus by Pilate.

	Jesus
		But even if Jesus actually was of Davidic descent, and the purpose of Mark 12:37 was in no way opposed to kinship with David, Jesus’ pure Jewish descent is not thereby assured nor a Galilean origin excluded.
		Nevertheless the term “Nazoraean” is connected by the Evangelists with Nazareth in Galilee.
		Even if his family, regardless of whether it was of Davidic origin or not, had settled in Galilee some generations earlier, a doubt as to its pure Jewish character would still be permissible.

		It was against these Nazoraeans, that is to say, the Christians who remained on the ground of Judaism, he tells us, that the Jews in their synagogues used to pronounce the curse to which reference has already been made, and which his contemporary Jerome assures us was directed against the Minaei (Minim).
		These Nazoraeans, even in Epiphanius' time, were numerous, and were scattered throughout Coele-Syria, Decapolis, Pella, the region beyond Jordan, and extended even as far east as Mesopotamia.
		Hilgenfeld holds that the Nazoraean Gospel (according to the Hebrews) was different from the Hebrew Gospel according to Matthew[1]; while Lipsius, on the contrary, maintains that the two titles refer to one and the same document.[2]

		But after Jesus began His ministry, and especially after it became generally known that John the Baptist (a Nazoraean) had endorsed His messianic claims, James and the rest of Jesus' family slowly accepted the fact that He was the Chosen One.
		The Nazoraeans were trying to get back to the primordial religion of the ancient Patriarchs, like Enoch, Noah, and Abraham.
		They were meant to be incorporated into the Nazoraean movement and led by the relatives of Jesus who were known as the Desposyni (despo-seen-ee).

		One way of doing so was to represent it as a judgment on the nation for the rejection of a past Messiah, and as the darkest hour before a dawn in which the dead leader would return to set up his kingdom.
		The rejected Messiah was identified with Jesus the Nazoraean, crucified by the procurator Pilate a generation before the destruction of Jerusalem.
		From this material we know that John the Baptist and Jesus the Nazoraean were regarded by their followers as prophets of the "kingdom of God" proclaimed in Daniel, which was to break in pieces all earthly empires and to stand for ever.

	User:Peter Kirby/Gospel of the Hebrews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ben C. Smith writes, "Note that this Nazoraean gospel Epiphanius calls very complete, with the possible exception of the genealogies.
		When it comes to the Ebionite gospel in 30.13, however, he calls it not all very complete, which must indicate that the Nazoraean and the Ebionite gospels were two different texts, despite their both being called according to the Hebrews, and despite the fact that Jerome appears to confuse the two.
		Philip Vielhauer writes, "Since he can impute to it nothing heretical or non-Matthaean, the Gospel of the Nazoraeans must have been an Aramaic version of Mt. (and was possibly identical with the Syriac Ospel known to Hegisippus).

	Were the Ebionites a Legalistic Group? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		He has not met them, has not read their gospel (Panarion 29.9.4), nor does he cite any of their literature; thus, there is no chance of Ebionite and Nazoraean literature being confused.
		Incidentally, Epiphanius also describes another similarly-named group, the Nasaraeans, who have straightforwardly "Ebionite" views: they are vegetarian, they reject animal sacrifice, they reject the false texts in the Old Testament.
		So Epiphanius may himself be confused about the Nazoraeans and Nasaraeans, but since he has not read any "Nazoraean" literature, their literature is not an issue.

		The early Christians, who called themselves Nazoraeans, were a Hebrew people with an access to the entire gospel of Matthew written in Hebrew.
		Specifically, the Nazoraeans refused to accept the Pauline doctrines which elevated and venerated the personage of Christ, saying that dogma corrupted Christianity by molding it to harmonize with Roman (that is, pagan) customs and practices.
		An important theological point with regard to both the Nazoraeans and the Ebionaeans is that neither group made much of the physical resurrection of Jesus.

		"The Nazoraean sect exists in Beroea near Coele Syria, in the Decapolis near the region of Pella, and in Bashan in the place called Cocaba, which in Hebrew is called Chochabe.
		That is where the sect began, when all the disciples were living in Pella after they moved from Jerusalem, since Christ told them to leave Jerusalem and withdraw because it was about to be besieged.
		This is where the Nazoraean sect began." (Panarion 29:7:7-8)

	Carl Skriver: The Origin, Fate, and Aim of Vegetarianism
		No one can deny that the founders of religions, and the great poets and philosophers of antiquity and the eastern world like Mahavira, Buddha, Krishna, Hesiod, Pythagoras, Jesus the Nazoraean, have all been at the forefront of the struggle for worldwide vegetarianism on ethical principles -- for the sake of animals and humans.
		For you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess." (Better translated: "but within they are full of robbery (of life) and debauchery or gluttony.")
		The unknown Jesus the Nazoraean taught quite another doctrine about God than we are told about in school or church.

	The role of flesh in the Christian love myth
		Their distinguishing practice is an ongoing cleansing ritual of baptism in a mythical ‘Jordan’ represented by the baptismal pool attached to each Manda or ritual hut, together with intricate law attached to slaughter/sacrifice.
		Extrapolating on Davidson’s observations regarding the Nazorite’s vows of abstention from flesh, if John the Baptist is to be considered as a possible Nazoraean it is difficult to avoid similar exegesis for Christ from the messianic prophecy claimed in Matthew that, ‘He shall be called a Nazorene’.
		As the archetypal Nazoraean and initiating instrument behind Mandaean law, inevitably he has to have abstained from flesh.

		Jesus had attained "Nazirutha", perfect spiritual enlightenment, and that he also taught that path to others.
		Hence, Jesus and his disciples were Nazarenes or Nazoraeans: meaning, followers of the mystic path to God, or Pure Being.

		On the other hand, Celts got their "Christianity" from the Jerusalem Congregation of Nazoraean Hebrews, presided over by James, the "brother" of Jesus.
		And also from the astronomical religion of the ancient pre-Celts, and the later Celts, which astronomy-based-religion still to this day is actively practiced in the western Gaeltachts of Ireland and Scotland.
		The blunt fact is that Nazoraean Hebrews referred to themselves as "the living," and referred to all other Hebrews, and all Gentiles, as "the dead."

		Essenism, Zealotism, Messianic Saduceeism, Nazoraeanism - or perhaps even "Naziritism" (the wordplay is probably deliberate) and a kind of "Essene" Zealotism.
		As we shall show, these are all simply variations on a theme well developed at Qumran.
		This is certainly the case with confusions relating to whether Jesus came from a place in Galilee called Nazareth (never mentioned in either the works of Josephus or the Old Testament) or whether, like James, he followed a 'Nazirite' life style or was a 'Nazrene' or 'Nazoraean', which have totally different connotations..."

		Pythagoras may have learned his vegetarianism from Jews in captivity in Babylon or from Buddhist missionaries in the West.
		Those who followed in Jesus' tradition—the Nazoraeans and the Jerusalem church, his brother James, Simon Peter, Matthew, and the Ebionite Judeo-Christians for four hundred years—were vegetarians.
		Various eastern orthodox sects were vegetarian up to 200 days per year.

		The Gospel of Philip, though giving two different etymologies for "the Nazarene" ("he who reveals what is hidden" and "the Truth"), does not think to connect the term with a place called Nazareth.
