Charisteristics of Essene Jewry
>Baptism>White raiment / clothing>praise of poor>No ownership of property>communal resources>praise of Enuchs (chop your balls off) who will definitely get into heaven>male gay sex >denouncing family e..g to his mother "what would I do with you"?>taught in parablesStrangely, though Essenes were 'hippy-dippy' unworldly types, they were opposed to any action which undermined the authorities / government of the day, no matter how incompetent or oppressive they were. They believed in the government mandate came from heaven, that is, if government was ruiling, it's because God wanted they too.
Hence Pilot tacitly latent in the context that he was an Essene said:
>" I find no fault in this man"; and Jesus taught blantant Essene doctrine:
>"give to Caesar what is Caesars", It's likely Daniel may have practicing Essene (he was a Enuch too) as was John the Baptist. There was by Josephus' estimates, during that time about 5,000 Essenes scattered throughout Palestine. They were despised most of all by the Pharisees (Orthodox) Jews and the Saducees Jews (comparable to 'reform jews). The rest of the Jews, would've been Haaretz
Early Christianity was proto-communism, based upon Essene jewish teachings.
