Regarding the calender, it certainly changed when they had the number of days in the year figured out. Is the Jewish calender the same as it always was? did they have to add days or months to their year?
Even between eastern and western Christendom the Easter holiday is different. Most of the Jewish ethos is maintained in the New Testament but Grace and Mercy are emphasized more. Stoning is no longer as popular as it once was, how do the Torah respecting Jews handle some of the prescriptions for infractions found in the Old Testament?
There is still a lunisolar calendar, though on a fixed pattern rather than by observation. It preserves the original Biblical months and holidays.

I am maintaining that Judaism is already "complete" in and of itself, however much of the "Jewish ethos" the nt "preserved."
In order to execute the death penalty a number of contingencies must be met (the sacrifices being brought on the altar, the Great Sanhedrion sitting in the Lishkat HaGazit, etc.). In past times even in the Exile the Jewish community (then a sovereign, self-governing entity) could execute the death penalty with permission of the host government. Needless to say, I advocate this until the Temple is rebuilt.
For some reason you don't seem to understand my main point: whatever merit you claim for the rituals and commandments of the "new law" was already there in spades for the original Biblical law.
