Name four of the Jewish groups in judea and explain how they differed?
1. The Sadducee's- favored cooperation with Rome. 2. The Pharisees- believed that close observance of religion law would protect the Jewish identity from Roman influences. 3. The Essenes- Lived apart from society, sharing goods in common. Like many other Jews, they waited for God to save Israel from oppression. 4. The Zealots- Called for the violent overthrow of Roman rule. They caused a Jewish revolt, which began in A.D. 66, only to be crushed by the Romans four years later. That is when the Jewish temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. * COPIED FROM GLENCOE WORLD HISTORY BOOK*

Geography affects Jews the same way it effects everyone else. Jews are not subject to a different set of physical laws.
Can DNA separate the chosen Jews from the Gentiles and Pseudo-Jews?
yes, they are AnswerJews weren't chosen they were anointed and it has nothing to do with genetics.Correction:ALL Jews are chosen, however, you have to look at what chosen actually means. Chosen does not mean that Jews are better than anyone else, it simply means that Jews were chosen to keep the Torah.Now, if you want to know if there is genetic testing to confirm the origins of Jews around the world, then yes, there is. Current testing shows that the majority of Jews in Europe originated in the Middle East with minimal genetic input from Europeans.

Which was the Jewish philosophical sect that included a group of Jews who lived at Qumran and are associated with the Dead Sea Scrolls?
That is commonly thought to have been the Essenes. The Essenes were a small sect who eventually disappeared from the Jewish community. They styled themselves "observant; pious ones." The normative, majority Jewish community viewed them as breakaways from the common stream of Jewish tradition, because of their non-traditional beliefs and practices. Their beliefs included an excessive amount of dabbling with the names of angels, messianic fervor, gnosticism and eschatological speculation; and their practices were more like Christian monasticism than the generally accepted Jewish way of living. The practices of the Essenes included vegetarianism, dwelling in isolated groups, communal ownership, monastic asceticism and avoidance of money, commerce and private property; and (among some of them) celibacy. Also, they had some forms of non-traditional observances (such as round phylacteries [tefillin]). Some researchers identify the Essenes as a form of early Christianity, taking also into account the fact that early Christianity was far from uniform and was, for a time, thought of by some as a kind of modified Judaism.

The Essenes styled themselves "observant; pious ones." Their beliefs included a large amount of dabbling with the names of angels, messianic fervor, gnosticism and eschatological speculation; and their practices were something like Christian monasticism. The practices of the Essenes included vegetarianism, dwelling in isolated groups, shared ownership, monastic asceticism and avoidance of money, commerce or private property, and (among some of them) celibacy. They left the cities in order to avoid the noise and bustle of life in the wider community. The majority Judean Jewish community viewed them as breakaways from the common stream of Jewish tradition.

What was the Essenes' relation to Jesus?
One thought:No. There are MANY differences between the religious ideas of the Essenes (believed to be the Qumran group) and early Christians. The Essenes' were known for their seclusion from society, belief in fate and their emphasis on celibacy and mystical ideas about angels. Jesus' teachings were markedly different, as he was actively involved with people, preaching and teaching, open and giving, and known for his warmth and love .(Matthew 5:14-16; John 11:23, 24; Colossians 2:18; 1 Timothy 4:1-3).Answer2;Yes Jesus was an Essene and was the Teacher of Rightousness.Jesus was born in 100 BCE and died in 67 BCE. The Essenses appear to be "Christians", because they are followers of Jesus !Jesus and the Essenes, were the majority of Jews, not a small 'sect". Jesus as the Teacher of Righteousness and the leader of Judaism was opposing the "Lay organization" Pharisees and their influence on the Jerusalem Temple.The essenes are the anti-Pharisee, anti-oral Torah, anti-lunar calendar Jews.
