That did not in any way preclude Him from also being Jewish and practicing the Jewish faith, because He was a member of God's Covenant people. Jesus, however, instituted the New Covenant the night before He died, which is the unique hallmark of Christianity. He fulfilled the Judaic Law and thus brought it to a conclusion, ushering in the New Covenant for believers in Him - Christians.Christians dont follow Judaism today because the Mosaic covenant has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them (Matthew 5:17). And the writer to the Hebrews wrote, By calling this covenant new, he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear (Hebrews 8:13).Those are not my words I had to do some searching because I don't have all the answers.</blockquote>
