"He only came to correct where Judaism had gone wrong in His day."

I don't think this is at all an adequate description of Jesus' Person or His mission on this earth. He was a divine Person. He came from the Father: He and the Father are One. He was a sacrificial offering for the sins of the whole world, the "Lamb of God." He overcame Sin and Death and rose again on the third day. He established a Church to extend His saving mission to the whole world --- to the gentile nations, to every person of every race, tribe, and tongue.

Not just a rabbinical reformer!

"Anything that He did not mention, it would have been because He was in agreement with it."

I don't think you really mean what you seem to be saying here. He didn't mention, for instance, terrorism. That wouldn't mean he was in agreement with it.

Christ did not come to do that. Read His parables. He is pretty explicit that He was a last ditch effort to reach His people, the Jewish nation.

It was only when His people rejected Him did the gospel go to the gentiles.
