His message was to keep yourself in check from a moral standpoint without overly focusing on all the traditional rules and to love your fellow man. That's fine and dandy, but has anyone ever heard of an ebionite? Do any of you know that Nazarenes wear their hair in dreads.
This is a little off topic but I think the John of revelations was a false prophet. There aren't supposed to be any more prophets after jesus, yet this guy has visions from god while banished on the island of patmos. I also heard that the mark of the beast is a numeric/alphabetical translation of nero caesar. Hebrew and Greek letters also have numeric value and somehow he added up the letters of nero's name and came up with 666. I saw this on the history channel.
Also, zoroasterism played a major part in forming the semitic religions but thiswas the religion of the romans before constantine converted it to catholicism. Maybe this played a part in his decision to convert.
