Well, being a Messianic Jew, I clearly don't believe so - however, from another point of view, many non-Christian and non-Messianist scholars, including some Jewish scholars, hold that he was an Essene, since many of his teachings do match Essene writings which have survived. Non-Christians and non-Messianist scholars have gone sometimes so far as to say that all the original teachings of Yeshua were Essene, and that his teachings as an Essene rabbi were taken by Paul and formed into Christianity, and parts of Essene philosophy which Yeshua taught which were "problematic" or did not agree with Paul's thought were excised by the Pauline Christians.
Caveat emptor: I do not believe this. I am simply being, as it were the "Devil's Advocate", and stating what other, non-Messianist scholars believe. My point in bringing up the Essenes is that celibacy as a religious lifestyle option was not totally alien to Judaism in the time of Yeshua.
