It's not that simple anon. Judaism before the 1st century certainly existed and early Christians would've called themselves followers of Jewish religious customs, but there is a difference between Judaism as a folk religion and Judaism as it emerged around the 1st-3rd centuries, and Chuds love to abuse this ambiguity to claim that modern Jews aren't the same as old Jews or what Christianity was not really Jewish, which is obviously not true. Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity both come from Judean Folk religious tradition. Religious Reformist in the 1st-3rd Centuries just took different approaches when it comes to compiling and codifying the body of oral and written works of ancient Jews into what we now call the Torah or Old Testament. The Christian approach was to Canonize the Old Testament but revise it with a New Testament that attempts to supplement it while Rabbinic Jews attempted to clarify the Torah through debate and open dialogue with the Talmud acting as a sort of legal reference based on the opinions of various rabbis. Gnosticism was another group that was part of the same movement.
