Christianity came out of Judaism?
@ No chance. You it is true, There is no word "church" in the original Hebrew or Greek language which describes a building or a certain denomination. Both the Greek and Hebrew word for church should be translated "congregation" or "assembly". The first Christians met in synagouges or at people's homes. They never met in cathedrals. Since the first disciples were Jews, then the congrgation was 100% Jewish (until the first Gentile convert joined, being Cornelius.) So it is true that God's assembled people is made up of both Jew and Gentile.
