The Ebionites embraced an adoptionist Christology, thus understanding Jesus of Nazareth as a mere man who, by virtue of his righteousness in following the Law of Moses, was chosen by God to be the messianic "prophet like Moses". A majority of the Ebionites rejected as heresies the Orthodox Christian beliefs in Jesus's divinity and virgin birth, and therefore maintained that Jesus was the natural son of Joseph and Mary who was spiritually anointed as the Son of God at his baptism.
