Is the teaching of Jesus the teaching of Judaism?
All the disciples of Jesus were Jews. The Old Testament is taken from the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament is based mainly on Paul's writings, and Paul was a Jew. Is Christianity a Jewish sect?

“The next time believers tell you that 'separation of church and state' does not appear in our founding document, tell them to stop using the word 'trinity.' The word 'trinity' appears nowhere in the bible. Neither does Rapture, or Second Coming, or Original Sin. If they are still unfazed (or unphrased), by this, then add Omniscience, Omnipresence, Supernatural, Transcendence, Afterlife, Deity, Divinity, Theology, Monotheism, Missionary, Immaculate Conception, Christmas, Christianity, Evangelical, Fundamentalist, Methodist, Catholic, Pope, Cardinal, Catechism, Purgatory, Penance, Transubstantiation, Excommunication, Dogma, Chastity, Unpardonable Sin, Infallibility, Inerrancy, Incarnation, Epiphany, Sermon, Eucharist, the Lord's Prayer, Good Friday, Doubting Thomas, Advent, Sunday School, Dead Sea, Golden Rule, Moral, Morality, Ethics, Patriotism, Education, Atheism, Apostasy, Conservative (Liberalism), Capital Punishment, Monogamy, Abortion, Pornography, Homosexual, Lesbian, Fairness, Logic, Republic, Democracy, Capitalism, Funeral, Decalogue, or Bible.”

@BlueSkyKing So you think that the Bible is a legal document? I think I can use a word to describe a concept. I can use the word Trinity to describe what Jesus said when He said baptise in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit. Seems simple. The same can not be said of the separation of church and state. The concept is not the same as the concept expressed in the American constitution.

Fiction is any narrative work, portraying individuals, events, or places that are imaginary. In this regard, history is imagined based on received accounts the accuracy of which is irrelevant.
