Jesus was sent to the world of men specifically to correct those who claimed to followed the words of Abraham, Isaac and Moses. He told the Pharisees abd Saducees as much: "you follow the words of man, I am the Son of God." Matthew 22:29-33. To believe in Jesus is to reject the beliefs of those who would be called "Jews" in future centuries. And vice versa. Jesus mentioned on at least two occasions that there are but two commandments to reach Heaven: Belief that Jesus is indeed the Son of God and the Golden Rule. This indirectly rejects the words of Moses, though one may argue that the Ten Commandments pretty much encompass the two commandments endorsed by Jesus. I find it interesting that the Old Testament was written at the time when those who would be later called "Jews" were living in exile in Babylon. Babylon features prominently as a den of sin in much of the Old Testament, ut oine must wonder how much influence the Babylonians may have had in the writing of that tome. Portraying God as a narcissistic tyrant who chooses only a certain sect of His people as "chosen" seems to conflict greatly with the teachings of Jesus. I wonder which one is "correct"?
