Do you believe in the rapture theory?
  Yes-we good Christians will be taken to our lord, and the lost shall be tried.
  No-It's not biblical, there is no historical context that it'll happen, and it's a work of fiction.
  I have no clue.

my definition defeats whatever point I was trying to make now XD
Yes Jesus was a Jew and he was not a Christian but he was a proto-Christian.

Jesus was a Jew, not a Christian. Do you even do any research?

Uhh... Judaism as we know it, didn't exist until after 70 CE, the fall of the 2nd temple.

If that's the case then Christians can use the OT neutral

How do you figure that? Judaism stems from many different Hebrew sects. All of these tribes still relied on Mosaic code. They wouldn't be Judaism but they would certainly be Hebrew. Where these sects mainly disagreed on scripture since each sect had their own set of scripture but they were all trace roots back to Moses and Abraham and had a common place of worship, the Temple. After the fall of the 2nd Temple, the Hebrew sects had to reformulate themselves since 1) they didn't have a temple anymore which was essential to worship and 2) deal with the rise of this new movement traced back to Yeshua bin Yosef(sp?) that was highly dualistic and seemed to be attracting all these Gentiles.

Actually Judaism has origins dating back to 1800 BCE. I'm not talking about how "we know Judaism today" that's irrelevant. I'm pretty sure the Jews of then still determined Jewishness by going through the mother to the son in terms of genetics. Judaism 101

So? You are ignoring and not explaining why this means that Gentiles get to use the OT.

Maybe the confusion is in the words that I'm using. Here's how I'm using these words.

Christianity - A religion that formulated in 325 CE.

proto-Christianities - A diverse set of religions that focuses on Jesus as it's primary leader/instructor and contains an element or elements that influenced what became Christianity directly or indirectly.

Judaism - A religion that formulated after the Fall of the Second Temple in response to the destruction of the Second Temple and to the proto-Christian movements.

Hebrew religions or proto-Judaism. - A diverse set of religions who's sole unifying feature is that they claim to be part of the Mosaic Covenant. Some of these sects went on to influence what became Judaism.

Eh I don't know if there's actual basis in history concerning that. All that I've read states that Judaism was started when Abraham began a covenant with YHVH. Which technically it did.

Ah okay I see now it seems we are both wrong. What defines Hebrew religions is two Covenants, the Abrahamic Covenant and the Mosaic Covenants. What distinguishes Judaism from other Hebrew Religions is what books they accepted. Example the Sumerians are certainly a Hebrew Religion since they hold to the Torah, but they reject the Nevi'im and the Ketuvim that Judaism accepts. Each Hebrew religion held to the Torah but they differed in accepting other texts and prophets.
