- The expression "Christian sect of Judaism" is meaningless, although
- many scholars even use the term "Jewish Christians". As you point out,
- "Chriostianity" was a religion invented by Paul and his GENTILE
- followers, based on the concept of an incarnate divine being Christos,
- who became the Savior God, similar to other savior gods of the time,
- only Jewish in origin and somehow, in a very loose way, related to a
- historic person called Jesus.
-
- With the destruction of Jerusalem, that "Jerusalem Church" or,
- better, Jewish Messianic Community, was diminished in significance and
- continued only as a "heretical" sect despised by the official Gentile
- Church as "Judaizers". They continued to call themselves by the same
- name, EBIONIM or "Ebionites" in English, meaning "The Poor". All of
- Jesus' references quoted regarding "the poor" refer to this sect.
- Which is, of course, denied by the established Church authorities but
- there is enough historical evidence that this was the case.
