Christian scriptures contain the Old testament, which is recognized by Jews as authoritative.

Answer 6

Yes, Christianity was a "sect" of Judaism. Jesus was a Jew. I refer to the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Most of the writings at that time have disappeared due to inability to preserve the written word.

Christianity became separate, in my opinion, as time went on & the Jews were unable to accept Jesus as the "Messiah" sent by God.  Early Christians celebrated the Jewish holidays like their peers.  

Answer 7

Because Israeli are Jewish and Jesus was born in Bethlemen, Israel.
