Old And New Testaments Of The Bible

Would you agree that the Bible as we now know it contains two separate religions, the first being Judaism which is contained in the Old Testament and the second being Christianity which is contained in the New Testament?

Would you also agree that the human figure of Christ was in fact practicing Judaism until the night before he died when he celebrated Passover and at the same time established what we now know as the Catholic Church?

Bible The Testaments New Old

1.
No, I believe that Judaism was a preparatory part of Christianity, in that throughout the Old Testament there are references to the Messiah. Christ Practiced that law of Moses, which was set up to prepare and symbolize the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, but fulfilled that law by his suffering and resurrection. I do not see these two religions as separate but Judaism as part of a greater whole that has existed for eternity.

2. I believe the Christian Church (Christ as the central figure of salvation) is eternal and was found from the eternities before Adam, after Adam, understood by the prophets of the Old and New Testament. It is found today as established by Prophets, and will continue into eternity

3. I do not believe Christ Established the Catholic Church as his Church. To me they are not the same entities. There is of course room for debate on this point.
