by realizing that there is one true God and that only he can save you, and that this is Jesus Christ.

Where is the realization? There is none. This is just faith. Blind belief. An equivalent would be believing Middle Earth really literally exists somewhere. As for there being one God you imply to be the sum of logic, what proof is there that this non-personal God is connected with the Jesus figure at all? There is none, you mearly cleave to what is familiar. If you had been born Muslim you would say the same thing but replace Jesus Christ with Allah.

That said, you say some interesting things.

The Serpent is a common symbol for evil

It's also a symbol of healing, and the human spinal cord could be though of as a serpent.

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.

Jesus was a good (genius) Jew building on Jewish tradition, but was too 'left-wing' for the establishment.

eh I'm wasting my time here nya~

In Buddhism, everything is nothing, there's no revelation either!

Because revealed knowledge is equivalent of greater knowledge.

The saying goes, to make the spirit greater, one needs to make the world lesser.

Serpent can also be healing.

You got the relationship backwards with the dual serpents on the staff.

Jesus was good on building the tradition

Jesus was an ultradispensationalist, and tossed out the Mosaic Laws, Talmud, and so on.

This issue was later pressed, and forced by Paul, who then went to ban even circumcision, and adopt Roman administrative practices. The former assured the split of Judaism and Christianity, the latter prevented retaliation from the Judaisers.
