But what you are leaving out in your analysis of Christianity, is the Pharisee Saul. On his way to Damascus to persecute Christians, a light shone about him from heaven, none other than Messiah Jesus himself spoke to him from heaven and called him to be a Christian apostle.
This is the same Messiah Jesus in your analysis, yet here he is personally converting the Pharisee Saul in Acts 9, the same man who became instrumental in the issue of whether Christians are to be bound under the Sinaitic law or not. His epistles testify to that issue on every page.
Paul and his writings, called by the same Messiah Jesus in your analysis, is what is sorely missing in your Judaizing analysis. Paul wrote against the things you mentioned that you think Christians are supposed to be keeping. They must speak Hebrew, the English “Jesus” is forbidden “Yahshua” must be spoken. The essentiality of celebrating Jewish holidays, eating only Kosher food, and such like.
Converting him to what? Christianity? It didn’t even exist back then.

But you're missing the point. On what grounds do you appeal to Paul and J*sus in the first place? The Ultimate Revelation was at Sinai; all latter "revelations" must submit to its judgment. No other religion or "prophet" or whatever has the authority to sit in judgment on the G-d Who spoke to Israel at Sinai or on what He commanded them.
Face facts--you chrstians don't accept the "old testament" on its own authority or the authority of the Revelation at Sinai. You accept it on the authority of a man who lived a thousand years later. But no one at Sinai or in any of the thousand years after it accepted the Torah because J*sus of Nazareth later endorsed it (as a "preparation" and a "shadow"). To believe in the "old testament" on the "authority" of J*sus--shoot, to even regarded as an "old testament"--is ahistorical and alienated from the worldview that accepted it in the beginning.
And as for creating a syncretistic "Jewish chrstianity?" G-d forbid! I just want all non-Jews to become Noachides, that's all. You know, like you chrstians want all people to become chrstians. Just like you . . . only older and authentic.
