It was Judaism then and now that rejected Paul’s teaching. Judaism did not “become” Christian.

So, they are two beliefs; and your view remains: replacement of Jewish beliefs with Christian beliefs.

There has always been a remnant of Jews who have accepted Yah'shua.

and there is the syncretism of the Roman church.

I’m a little puzzled by what you’ve posted. As a Christian, I have always understood that Christianity is the correct interpretation of the revelation originally given to the Jews. Certainly, the Jews who accepted Christ in His day branched off from the mass of the Jews of the time, and became what we now call Christianity. But that doesn’t mean that 2000 years down the road, we have to say that they were always two different religions. How can what we call Judaism today be the Judaism of Moses, when Moses would have recognized in Christ the fulfillment of the revelation he had received (and did, as evidenced during the Transfiguration)? I would agree that a person following the religion calling itself Judaism today can't become a Christian and continue to be a modern Jew, but that doesn’t seem to be your argument. I understand you are a Catholic Christian; are you saying that Christianity is true for those who believed, but the Jews who followed the interpretation that Christ wasn’t the Messiah, nor the second person of the Trinity, were also accurately interpreting the revelation they had received, so their spiritual descendants are validly following the faith tradition of their fathers, rejecting not Christ, but only Paul? Is there a doctrine of the Catholic Church that speaks to your argument, that can help me figure out what you’re saying is wrong with my understanding?
