I'm not the one who believes western civilisation wouldn't have advanced if not for a jew who considered himself a God and king of all jews in a shithole called Israel.
He was circumcised by a Jewish preacher with his own messianic sect of Judaism. (John the Baptist)
He partook in Jewish festivities and ceremonies. His own brother James, was a Jew who administered Christianity to other Jews and felt that gentiles weren't worthy of being Christian.
Most importantly, he was from the line of David and direct descendant from the tribe of Judah, which was why John the baptist considered Jesus to be the Messiah, King of all Jews.
Christianity inherits the notion of a "covenant" from Second Temple Judaism, in the form of the Old Testament. Two major views of the relationship exist, namely New Covenant theology and Dual-covenant theology. In addition, although the order of the books in the Protestant Old Testament (excluding the Biblical apocrypha) and the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) differ, the contents of the books are very similar.
The Christian Old Testament is, thus, Jewish scripture, and it is used as moral and spiritual teaching material throughout the Christian world.
The prophets, patriarchs, and heroes of the Jewish scripture are also known in Christianity, which uses the Jewish text as the basis for its understanding of biblical figures such as Abraham, Elijah, and Moses. As a result, a substantial amount of Jewish and Christian teachings are based on a common sacred text.
