> Can you clarify? Because the Gospels are largely the accounts of a man who spent the most impactful years of His life disputing Judaism as it existed at the time.
He disputed current practices of certain groups/sects, and his law superseded the "old" law. The key point is that Jesus did not "back date" his laws. He did not claim they applied to the ancient Hebrews and that they should be judged according to them.
> Also Christianity cannot be an offshoot of the religion now called Judaism
I make a point of noting that I was talking about Judaism as it was at 0 BC/AD.
