The Ebionite "Gospel of the Hebrews" was purported to depict Jesus as a very holy man, but nothing more. It is now lost, but was referred to by...i seem to recal Origen (going from memory so probably wrong on that point). Google points to tons of information on this, including at least one well supported wiki.

Like every thing; look for multiple sources, triple check and keep an open mind.

The website noted above is a militant atheist website with assertions so far to the left they are off the grid.

Not a good site at all to send anyone to.

Welcome to IIDB!

Radical ideas are not dismissed simply because they're radical. To sumarily dismiss them, they also have to be unsupported by anything of substance.

What assertions does jesusneverexisted make that are unsupported?

I take it that your post above is a sample of what a great contribution should look like?

May I gently remind the participants that we discourage one-line answers?
