Yes I have search a lot on google and evey other resource at my disposal. I also read about the ebionites, if I remember correctly they were absorbed into more mainstream Judaism.

Is there a group of people out there who believe that Jesus was a mortal man, that he did not rise from the dead, that he was an enlightened individual with insight into the right way of living which he tried to convey to people in his teachings. Are there people out there who are interested in...
