>entire old testament is just jews being trying to godOf course it's jewish. The entire premise of the new testament is also saying "you don't have to be jewish to be saved. Come to me." That's it, just make the effort. The thrust of the new testament is that genuine belief in God, attempts to be a better person even if they don't succeed, repentance and joining the body of the church are what you need.Side note, ask an orthodox priest why they care about the filioque since it's just a translation error. Or why God hates the elephants in psalm 151. It's great fun.
