 | | The Ebionite Jewish Community promotes Yahwism, the recognition of Jesus as a Jewish prophet, rather than as a Messiah, as he is portrayed in Christian writing, and claims that Christianity is not a biblically-based religion. | | | The Ebionites (from Hebrew; Ebionim, "the poor ones") were a sect of Judean followers of John the Baptizer and later Jesus (Yeshua in Aramaic) which existed in Judea and Palestine during the early centuries of the Common Era. | | | Ebionites believe that Monotheism disallows a belief in a "Satan" that competes with God. |

| | Ebionites believed that all followers of Jesus, whether they be Judean or Gentile, must adhere to Noahide Laws and Mosaic law, tempered with the wisdom teachings of Jesus. | | | Ebionites continued to follow Jewish law and celebrate Jewish feasts and holidays and considered Torah Observance to be necessary to follow Jesus’ way. | | | It appears that the Ebionites also rejected the doctrine of atonement for sin through the death of Jesus, and judged sightings of the risen LORD as spiritual experiences such as dreams and visions rather than an actual physical resurrection. |

| | Gospel of the Ebionites |
| | The Ebionites were Greek-speaking Jewish-Christians who lived east of the Jordan, though Epiphanius oddly refers to the work as the "Hebrew" gospel and considers it to be a modified version of Matthew. | | | 100-150 C.E. The only remaining fragments of the Gospel of the Ebionites are preserved in the form of citations by the church father Epiphanius in the latter part of the fourth century. | | | While Ebionites obviously postdates the canonical gospels, it was written prior to the late second century when it was referred to by Irenæus. |

| | Our Mission: A FAQ on Ebionite Beliefs |
| | Ebionites avoid and have a religious right and duty to not attend any meeting or gathering that is led by a Christian or Christians (or any religions other than Judaism) and attended predominantly by Christians (or members of religions other than Judaism). | | | Ebionites distinguish between prayer and public worship where benedictions and statements of faith are given. | | | Ebionites have a mission to provide an alternative to religions which deify men, particularly Christianity that deifies the man Jesus. |

| | Comments on the Ebionites |
| | The Ebionites were stigmatized by the Orthodox Church as heretics who failed to understand that Jesus was a Divine person and asserted instead that he was a human being who came to inaugurate a new earthly age, as prophesied by the Jewish prophets of the Bible. | | | The Ebionites were not heretics, as the Church asserted, nor "re-Judaizers," as modern scholars call them, but the authentic successors of the immediate disciples and followers of Jesus, whose views and doctrines they faithfully transmitted, believing correctly that they were derived from Jesus himself. | | | Moreover, the Ebionites refused to accept the Orthodox Church doctrine derived from Paul, that Jesus abolished or abrogated the Jewish law. |

| | The Gospel of the Ebionites omits the infancy narratives. | | | Whereas the Gospel of the Ebionites is indeed closely related to Matthew, examination of the extant fragments reveals that much of the text is a harmony, composed in Greek, of the Gospels Matthew and Luke (and, probably, the Gospel of Mark as well). | | | The designation customary today is based on the fact that this was the gospel probably used by the Ebionites, a group of Greek-speaking Jewish Christians who were prominent throughout the second and third centuries. |

| | And we know that the Ebionites, the first of whom were the friends and relatives of Jesus, according to tradition, in other words, the earliest and first Christians, "were the direct followers and disciples of the Nazarene sect", according to Epiphanius and Theodoret (See the Contra Ebionites of Epiphanius, and also "Galileans" and "Nazarenes"). | | | For, as Epiphanius declares, the Ebionites firmly believed, with the Nazarenes, that Jesus was but a man "of the seed of a man" (Epiph. | | | As Gnostics of a kind, they regarded both Christ and the polar opposite Jehovah as emanations or rays of the Logos, and were concerned with the adaptation of esoteric teachings with the Mosaic law on the one hand and with the materializing spirit of the Church on the other. |

| | The term Ebionite (from Hebrew ’Evyonim) means “Poor Ones,” and was taken from the teachings of Jesus: Blessed are you Poor Ones, for yours is the Kingdom of God” based on Isaiah 66:2 and other related texts that address a remnant group of faithful ones. | | | The distinction these writers make, (and remember, they universally despise these people and call them “Judaizers”) is that the Ebionites reject Paul, and the doctrine of the Virgin Birth or “divinity&; of Jesus, use only the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, and are thus more extreme in their Judaism. | | | The earliest followers of Jesus were known as Nazarenes, and perhaps later, Ebionites, and form an important part of the picture of Palestinian Jewish groups in late 2nd Temple times. |

| | Thus the Ebionite belief that Jesus had the status of a prophet was not at all inconsistent with their belief that he was the King of Israel, who would restore the Jewish monarchy on his return. | | | The standpoint of this incorporated section is that of the Ebionites: belief in the continuing validity of the Torah, insistence on the human status of Jesus as a prophet, and strong opposition to Paul as the falsifier of Jesus' teachings. | | | Thus we read of certain Gnostic Ebionites, of whom the founding father was Cerinthus, who combined belief in the humanity of Jesus and in the validity of the Torah with a Gnostic belief in a Demiurge ('creator') and a High God. |

| | At any rate, being followers of Jesus they were exiled from the Jewish community after the destruction of the temple in AD 70, and being followers of Jewish ritual they were alienated from the predominantly Gentile Christian community, as they simply didn’t fit in with the social customs and rituals of the Greek-speaking church. | | | As far as can be seen, the Ebionites descended from the original church in Jerusalem (which was often referred to as poor), but appear to have disregarded the conclusions of the council in Acts 15 as to what was necessary to be a Christian. | | | And as far as their present-day import goes, it could be argued that many of the “seventh-day” movements, and especially the Adventists, are fundamentally Ebionite, insofar as they deem the practice of the entire Jewish law necessary to the Christian life. |
