[Cronos]

The Jews in the dispersion, in Asia Minor and Egypt (Alexandria) were thorgoughly Hellenized; not the Palesitnian Jews .

Also, kosta, you forget the Jews of Ethiopia and India and Yemen -- all outside the Hellenic world and all by and large untouched by Hellenizm. Christianity spread over there pretty well among the Jews/Israelites in those places

Yes, I believe they were Ebionites, observing the Law, and therefore not really Christians but followers of Christ; I will have to check.
