A commenter recently asked that. Here's an extended answer:
The New Testament (or, as we like to say, the Apostolic Writings) teaches Judaism. Specifically, it teaches Orthodox Messianic Judaism. But let's break it down:
(1) "Orthodox": This can be defined as "the correct way to believe." [Orthopraxy, on the other hand, refers to the correct way to practice];
(2) "Messianic": We believe that Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah who taught....[drum roll]...Judaism!;
(3) "Judaism": Whilst Christianity is anti-Judaic, the Judaism taught by the Apostolic Writings values the Sinaitic Torah and the Jewish traditions--specifically those traditions which help to explain the letter and spirit of the Sinaitic Torah.
