Who are the Ebionites?
The Ebionites were a Jewish-Christian are a religious sect that is closely related to early monotheistic Christianity that insists on the necessity of following Jewish religious law and rites, which they interpret in light of Jesus’ expounding of the Law. They regarded Jesus as the Messiah but not as divine. The Ebionites revered his brother, or cousin, James as the head of the Jerusalem Church and rejected Paul of Tarsus because he was an apostate towards the Law.
