Problem is that they don’t keep it to themselves. They use that misleading title as a way to lure Jews to abandon their own faith without understanding that this is what they are doing. Nothing wrong with Christians, but when they set out to deceive they are as evil and duplicitous as any other fraudster.
Including the apostles, among others.

So? "Compassionate liberal" isn't an oxymoron to a "compassionate liberal" either.
Can't you dear but infuriating people ever get it through your heads that the Jews were given their religion at Sinai, that they were charged by G-d to never change it or deviate from it, and that your belief that the Torah was a mere "preparation" for a future higher revelation is an alien notion imported from outside?
You cannot "prove" the "new testament's" interpretation of the Hebrew Bible by quoting the "new testament" any more than you can prove the claims of mormonism by quoting the "book of mormon." What about this is so hard for you to understand???
The "new testament" cannot authorize itself. Neither can it simply "declare" itself authorized by the Hebrew Bible and then "prove" it by its own interpretation of the Hebrew Bible. The Torah would have had to explicitly declare itself to be temporary and preparatory from day one for chrstianity to even be possible, and this is most assuredly not what happened.
I absolutely marvel at chrstian's immunity to this simple self-evident, logical truth.
