103 Jesus is certainly not intended to be regarded as divine. He is important less in himself than in what he says and what he represents.
271 Jesus had no intention of functioning as ‘saviour’ in the sense ascribed to him.
469 Jesus did not consider himself to be any more divine than anyone else.

469 Jerusalem church of JESUS & JAMES [Ab 6.1] OT, Jewish, Stoic Cynic ethics No NT.
But Ill B Dict notes - did not accept Jesus’ authority till after resurrection [ Mk 3:21, J 7:5, 1Cor 15:7, Gal 1:19 2 9, A 12:17]
[Eusebius] The Lord appointed him first Bishop of Jerusalem [leader with St Peter]. A 15:19-23 21:18+ Works to maintain unity with Paul & his mission on Paul’s last visit to Jerusalem.
DSS48 Jamesian = nationalist [xenophobic]& Law oriented.

89 Rebel Sadducees = Essenes, Zadokites *. [273 4q448 Not Essene -]
d226 The entire Qumran community corpus has a Messianic thrust.
163 Messianic expectation also linked with apocalyptic hysteria/ fundamentalism/ mysticism/impending, climactic millennial event[a new Jewish century and/or comet return?] of down - trodden people.
83 90 Violently apocalyptic Essenes - Pythagoras, reincarnation, therapeutic properties of herbs & stones, marriage, Prophets' discourses, not priests - all Judaisised. Esoteric studies like astrology & numerology = Cabala.

Pillars upholding the earth [like the ‘Sons of Thunder’, Boanerges, James and John[ Mark 3:17] + James and Peter [ Gal 2:9, Abingdon 4.2].
88-9 Zadokites resuscitated by the Maccabeans, the last dynasty of Judaic kings who ruled Israel from 2nd BC to Herod. Herod extinguished line.
dss122 274/6 The Sect was a pro- Maccabean nationalist priesthood. They commemorated the Maccabean ‘camp’ tradition by celebrating Hanukkah, a new Feast of Booths or Tabernacles in the wilderness remembering when the Law was either first revealed or rededicated.
84 No law [but remember they were rebel Sadducees *!], direct experience = no priests!
97 The last thing they would want is a persecutor of Judaism.
d90,274 They had no anti-temple feeling. They went about their priestly duties in the Temple as the Romans slaughtered them.
123 Jesus did not earnestly start his ministry until John's decease.
121 One Johannite [Baptist]/ Mandaean 1-3rd c sect still exists. Main area was Tigris-Euphrates basin.]
61 Jesus the Magician -Mandaeans in Southern Iraq and thereabouts. Claim descent from Baptist. Say Jesus was a magician and representative of the power of evil.
75 Jesus does acts of calculated provocation.
113 Jesus especially cites ZECHARIAH'S Messianic prophecies.
112-17 He makes them occur by contrived design. This is true for collusion with Judas who names him at Last Supper = self - fulfilling prophecy. Judas is chosen by lot, but the drawing is fixed! Or else, why didn't Rocky stop Judas? Jesus may have thought he only had to appear to die. In fact, the Koran says a substitute takes his place. Whatever, he may have seen Judas' task as being even harder than his. Jesus & Judas the Sicarius = Cain & Abel = God & Devil
76,466 A cohort [at least 500] come for him at Gethsemane + JEWISH GUARDS
73 2 crucified [ a Roman punishment] with Jesus are Zealots [Tacitus?]

Dssd 192 VESPASIAN puts down revolt.
193 Herodian Sadducee high priest ANANAS assassinated.
193 AD 68 WAR! - TEMPLE DESTROYED.
193 AD MASADA falls
108 Jesus' line carried on probably aristocratically/ patricially.
131/6 Desposyni - descendants of Jesus' family & maybe Jesus himself. AD 318 Pope Sylvester & 8 desposyni meet. Last one between Pauline & Nazareans/ Judas Thomasines [H Koester]/ Ebionites *.
136 Ebionites [Nazareans] say Jesus was a man and not born of a virgin. He became a Messiah at Baptism/ anointment/ coronation. Judaic law must be scrupulously adhered to. Matthew is only true Gospel. dss233-4 ‘Jewish Christians’ = Ebionites= Christ is a man justified by his advances in righteousness only. You cannot be saved by faith alone in Christ.
