[QUOTE="petosiris, post: 1062399, member: 58485"] I already gave my thoughts on the date, but you were onto some interesting information. In the New Testament the term Herodians refers to the Boethusians who were actually illegitimate priests, installed by Herod. The ''teacher of righteousness'' in the Dead Sea Scrolls doesn't seem to refer to Jesus, but to a sectarian priest who seemed to taught not to worship at or bring sacrifices to the Temple, whereas Jesus and his disciples regularly did so despite the Sadducees and the Herodians (that is the Boethusians) at the temple - Acts 2:46, Acts 21:26. Now, Epiphanius mentions some Jews and Jewish Christians (Ebionites who taught that Gentiles can't be saved without circumcision and the Sabbath) who rejected animal sacrifices - Panarion 1.18, 30, so these could have been influenced by the Essenes or such like sects in a non-monolithic Second Temple Judaism, otherwise the Essenes are not mentioned by name in the New Testament, which as I said doesn't support vegetarianism or the abolition of any law, including sacrifice - throughout Acts and the Epistles we read that Paul collected gifts from his churches in order to pay the offerings for the end of the Nazirite vows of himself and four other men to show his zealousness for the law - Numbers 6, Acts 21.
