The answer is yes, as one is mimicry of the other.

So the authentic Christian tradition must be with the Church, complete with Trinity, Mariology, non-Biblical holidays, etc.

The alternative is that the Jewish tradition remains authentic.

OK, there’s another alternative: The Holy Spirit (AKA the voice in one’s head) vouchsafes private interpretation.

OR (and it must be considered, fairly) both are wrong, and YHWH said what He meant, and meant what He said, and WROTE IT DOWN so that there could be no confusion.

Rather, we are *not* to follow the majority in anything. We are to follow YHWH and do right.

Does that mean we cannot follow Jewish institutions? Sure we can, where they do not confound Moses. If they claim an authority greater than Moses to change Moses, we are not obliged to follow. In fact, we are obliged by Torah to do the opposite. The authority is in Moses.
