Subject: Thank you for introducing us the Ebionites Author: Liberal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:47:03 08/11/04 Wed In reply to: XOX 's message, "How close we are to the Ebionites?" on 13:13:53 08/10/04 Tue "...Ebionites denied the divinity of Jesus, the doctrine of the Trinity and the Virgin Birth. The Ebionites emphasized the humanity of Jesus as the mortal son of Mary and Joseph, who was 'adopted' as a son of God...but was chosen to be the last and greatest of the prophets. It seems that the Ebionites also rejected the doctrine of atonement for sin through the death of Jesus, and judged sightings of the risen Jesus as spiritual experiences such as dreams and visions rather than an actual physical resurrection. In 1995, Shemayah Phillips started a modern Ebionite revival by forming the online Ebionite Jewish Community whose goals are the *promotion of Yahwism and a conservative form of Talmidi Judaism* to Gentiles, the restoration of Yahushua (Hebrew for "Jesus") as a Jewish prophet through the deconstruction of the "Christ myth," and disproving that Christianity is a biblically-related religion." Although Ebionites radically reinterpret many traditional Christian doctrines as Liberal Christians do, their basis were very different; Ebionites do that because of insisting on traditional Judaism (therefore rejecting the divinity of Jesus and understand him as a prophet) while Liberals do that to answer new scientific discoveries and modern concepts of historical research. So the distance between Liberal Christians and Ebionies is not small actually. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
