I'm glad you know what you believe, but if you believe that Christianity is a
sect of Judaism, you are mistaken.  Early Christians could be considered a sect
of Judaism, possibley, but Judaism has progressed, and is different than it was
1970 years ago.  Your Lord was a Jew, but you are not, except through the
miraculous grafting of God, which is through grace and Spirit, not religion.
