Christianity Is Not a Pure Expression of Judaism, What Do You Think?

The gospels borrow heavily from the biographies of Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar–Julius Caesar deified, and son of that god, Augustus Caesar.

Why did the Jewish Temple authorities cry and tear their clothes when Jesus said he was the son of the Blessed One Mark 14: 61? Because they were old enough to know God and Son of God was recent Roman History–Romans, especially the soldiers who fought for them, were still worshiping Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar as gods. The whole “new notion” of the Jews having a man-god, Jesus is Roman-ization upon Judaism, Hellenistic Roman-ization upon Judaism, the gospels copied Hellenistic Roman theology [Emperor worship!] onto Judaism, as a result Christianity in no way is a pure expression of Judaism.

If you mention about Pauline theology, yes

Early Christian such as Ebionite, still follow Judaism practice have different theology as Paul

the Idea of God become Man looks never in context of Ancient Israelite, even today modern Judaism, there is no way God become Man

Theologically speaking, Islam is mirroring Judaism

An astute observation.  I once heard someone say that Islam began as a Jewish heresy.
