He did not believe in core jewish beliefs, such as the chosenpeopleness of the jews. This makes him not a jew, and, in fact, the first christian.

Christ spoke of the New Covenant before that. And he didn't remain dead.

So the story goes.....
Spock did not remain dead either
And did not Jesus raise someone from the dead ?
And if you read the bible many were raised from the dead and seen around town for a while after he was crucified....

Nevertheless, he believed what he believed prior to dying, making him the first convert from judaism to christianity.

Christ was a Jew. The night of his arrest he was celebrating passover.
True. For the first few decades most christians were practicing Jews, the seperation came after a power struggle in the early church.

But there are significant theological differences between what christ taught and what we now know as present day judaism. He was ethnically a jew, but theologically a christian.

So what. Jesus was still the first christian. Your irrelevancy has no impact, unsuprisingly.

Jesus was one of many reformers and those that claimed to be the messiah
The time period was one of changes and upset among Jews
One of the principal, if not the principal, differences between Jesus’ teachings and traditional Judaism was that the messiah was a teaching not a person.
Like the protestant leaders that later challenged Catholicism, Jesus did not want to replace Judaism, but to reform it.
Christianity per se, did not become a formal religion until after Jesus died and Paul and peter and the other disciples and apostles formalized things during the period following the death and resurrection culminating in the first council of Nicaea circa 300 CE (Common Era or AD).
Like most religions, during its inception and growth, it fractioned into variations of Christ’s teachings.
Who wrote what and when (regarding the old and new testaments) has been a subject of controversy for centuries. E.g., peter was illiterate but all of the writings ascribed to him are written in highly literate Greek. Some of Paul’s writings are not written in his style and supposedly written after his death.
Then there is the entire matter of the apocrypha.
Oh well

Yeah, but since his attempts at reforming judaism failed, in retrospect, we see he was the first christian. Im not a churchy christian either. Most organized churches have turned into the same kind of elitist sacerdotal system jesus was against.
ahz
Yeah, Luther tried also, look where it got him
I too disavowed organized religions
Now I follow the universal Gaea – no prayers, no priests, no churches/temples – just get on with life and enjoy what you can while you can

Thanks for the irrelevant personal info. Christ was still merely ethnically a jew, theologically he was a christian. It's not really my goal to reform churchy christianity. If enough people realize what noahide dipshits organized christian churches have become, the pews will be empty.

Well then you apparently abhor concision because this
is exactly what I mean, and is more that just 'priestly'.

I don't have a problem with people being called by god. I have a problem with a priesthood that says only those who have been indocrinated properly with proper beliefs can be called by god.
