It's quite obvious to everyone here that you hate Jews.
Aren't Christians supposed to preach love and peace, not hatred of others?
As I mentioned on a different thread, I find it absolutely hypocritical that those who claim to follow the Jewish Messiah not only hate the Jewish Messiah's religion, but the very people who follow that religion.
All your observations are predicate on falsehoods. Christ wasn't a Jew. He was an Israelite. Jews hate Christ. The religion practiced by today's Jews isn't from the Old Testament. Christ warned us against the Jews.
A) You have no idea what Jesus said because what he may or may not have said certainly wasn't recorded by those who killed him, ie. the Romans.
B) Jesus was a Jew. An Essene Jew, not a Pharisee, but a Jew nonetheless.
You see, Judaism is the religion of the Old Testament (Tanakh). The Protestant Church didn't write the Old Testament, the Hebrews did, and they called their religion Judaism.
Why is the religion called "Judaism" as opposed to "Jewism" since we are called Jews (compared to Hindus and Hinduism or Christians and Christianity)?
Answer
The words Jews and Judaism are English words derived from the Hebrew words, respectively of "Yehudim" and "Yahadut." Yehudim (Jews) practice Yahadut (Judaism), which refers to the body of Jewish religious thought, customs, symbols, rituals and laws.
In the early 1st millennium BCE, Judaism got its name from "Judah", the land of the Hebrews. We find the term “Judaism” used in the first century CE by Greek- speaking Jews. References include the Second Book of Maccabees 2:21 and 8:1. “Yahadut” or “dat Yahadut” is used infrequently in medieval commentaries, e.g. Ibn Ezra, but it is used extensively in modern Jewish history.

Thank you for the reference.
23 Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king's commandment.
Well, that takes us back to the 2nd Century BC, I guess. That well postdates the time of the Hebrews who I don't believe you can document to have ever called themselves Jews or to have called their religion Judaism.

Uh, who do you suppose lived in Israel back then?
Were they Muslim in your opinion? Perhaps Jesus prayed to Allah?
No one that treats the subject seriously calls the Hebrews Jews. As you know, this word refers to the tribe of Judah who constitute but one of the Twelve Tribes. The term Jew is properly applied to the people of largely Hebrew extraction who returned to Palestine after the Captivity. Judaism refers to the religion that emerged from the time of the Captivity and which had incorporated a number of Babylonian elements.
