During the height of the "Jerusalem Church" era, directly following the crucifixion, the Original Disciples especially James fought with the outsider Paul constantly over the doctrine he was teaching. The "Jerusalem Church" was "hebrew-christian"; adherents directly following Jesus' doctrine were observant Hebrews (Jews) who followed Torah and believed the Messiah had come. Gentiles where allowed to become part of the fellowship but they either were required to proselytize OR fully assimilate into the Hebrew Laws and culture. Paul and the doctrine he was teaching eventually caused a great schism in the Jerusalem Church and when the destruction of Jerusalem happened those fellowshippers of Jesus' actual original doctrine, followers of the 12 Original Disciples, escaped being dispersed throughout the Middle East and Asia.

There's new proof (from the past 10 years) of the following: 1. The "Essenes" did not live or have a monkery in Qumran, it was an old pottery manufacturing place and they simply hid the DSS there. 2. The DSS were from the era that includes the Jerusalem Church and probably originated IN Jerusalem (where Paul and his doctrines were despised).

There's proof from the past 50 years that: 1. The "Essenes", "Nazoreans", "Ebionites", or any other Hebrew-Christian sect were not separate groups and their doctrines were not much different from each others. They were all from the same Jerusalem Church's original doctrine and it was only unknowing "Christian Church Fathers" (Origen, Jerome, Tertullian, etc) who in their ignorance labeled them as separate groups. 2. Christianity as it is known today is a response of Hebrew-Christianity, the original doctrine of Jesus and the Jerusalem Church. Christianity did not spring from Hebrew-Christianity, the original doctrine of Jesus and the Jerusalem Church…..it was a response to it because Constantine needed a political card to unite his humongous kingdom, and you can't serve an emperor and his laws when you have some all powerful YHWH telling you His Laws. Paul's version of Jesus' original doctrine had made it's way to the rest of the Roman Empire and it was very palatable to Constantine and what he wanted.
The descendants of Jesus' original doctrine & teachings (jewish-christians, nazoreans, ebionites, etc) were wiped out and driven into obscurity by the might of the Roman Empire. Paul's version of the religion took hold and was further corrupted by Constantine and his subsequent rulers and bishops.
