This one seemed to got lost when I was catching up on the pages of posts earlier, so I'll make sure to address this now.The Old Testament does have baring on Christianity. It is from the Christian God, in the Christian Bible. It is Christian beliefs, laws and customs.Jesus is what Christianity likes to say it's all about, probably because unlike most Christian characters Jesus was actually a pretty cool and chill guy. That way when Christianity tries to convert people they don't have to deal with the inconvenience of defending insane murderers and rapists, and simply be able to go "Look at Jesus! He was cool". May most of the original Christians been Jewish according to the Bible? Yes. But this is also because Christianity actually came from Jewish Religions which existed longer than Christianity did. :PAs for the whole "If law is revised you can't defend yourself in court with old laws". That isn't the case though, the Bible never actually says to ignore the OT. That's just a commonly believe/accepted claim among the Christian community cause it allows them to conveniently ignore many of Gods barbaric acts, making it easier to defend their god to people and convert people. As far as the Bible/God himself is concerned though, the OT still applies. And regardless of that laws we have are made by humans. We revise them because humanity changes, culture changes, we learn from our mistakes. God is all powerful and all knowing. He should never have a need to change his laws or rules, he is completely capable of making a set of rules that can always be followed, or followers always capable of following those rules. If he his what the Bible claims he is, has no need to ever re-write laws, change things or learn from mistakes cause there is nothing to learn or adapt to. He already knows everything, and can do anything.

Christianity didn't exist before Christ did. You fancy yourself a logical person, so I would hope you can understand that easily.

The Old Testament is context. Jesus himself, and his disciples alongside him, did not follow Mosaic Law. The Law of Moses is the law of the old covenant, of the Israelites, not the new covenant, which extends to all people.

Jesus IS what Christianity is about. It's right there in the name, even. CHRISTianity is the religion of Christ, of Jesus of Nazareth. Moses, Abraham and the Old Covenant are as much a part of Christianity as they are a part of Islam. They're holy figures of the past, but their actions and the rules that they followed do not describe Christianity.
