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?

In the context of Acts 11:26, being called Christians in Antioch signified that these followers of Christ were recognized as a distinct group. The term "Christian" implies a direct connection to Christ, rather than being part of a larger sect or group. Instead, it emphasizes our unique identity as followers of Jesus Christ.
In the context of the Bible, Christianity is presented as a distinct faith centered on Jesus Christ, rather than a sect of another religion. Our perspective emphasizes the unique identity and teachings of Christianity, rooted in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Christians do not identify as a religion. Our faith is centered on Christ, not a religion, in that religion did not die on the cross for our sins... the person of Jesus did, and following him is a way of life, not empty religion.
From a Christian perspective, Jesus being a Jew and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies are seen as part of the narrative of God's plan of salvation. Christians believe Jesus' teachings and his sacrifice on the cross are the core of the Christian faith, rather than a subset or sect of Judaism. Instead, Christianity is seen as a fulfillment of Jewish scripture and prophecy, with its own distinct identity and teachings.

How does one follow "Jesus Christ"?
Here again we are confronted with the phenomenon of "Jesus Christ". How does one come upon this phenomenon? Is it not inspired by Judaism?
The person of Jesus and his dying on the cross is an account written by Jews. Do you agree?
The Christian perspective, which is your perspective, is derived from the Old Testament (Judaism's Hebrew Bible) and the New Testament (scripture written, within the context of Judaism, by Jews).
