He didn't invent Christianity, the people who followed him did, by saying they were following Christ's teachings. Judaism and Christianity both have the Old testament as a basis of their religions. The people who followed Christ added new things and the book the New Testament was created. One basic difference between Judaism and Christianity, is that under Judaism, people have a direct "link" to talk to their god, while with Christianity, people can only speak through Christ to talk to god. Then of course, that further developed later to where you speak through the Pope, who speaks to Christ who speaks to god...and so on.

Wow, thats a simple question and yet so complex. I will attempt to answer it this way.
Yes you are right in a way. Why ? Becasue in the early days of "christianity", it was not known as "christianity" In fact it was called "The Way". And it was thought of as an offshoot of Judaism. As the 1st Christians were actually Jews. And the Tanakh and the prophetic scriptures points to a coming Messiah.
Establishing that I like to refer to :
Jesus asked. Peter, one of the 12 original disciples "Who Am I? Peter said "You are the Christ, The Son of God". After which Jesus said "..Your name is Peter, upon this rock I will build my church."
This "rock" refers not to Peter as commonly belived. Or to Jesus Himself. The rock was the rock of truth spoken by Peter. "You are the Christ, The Son of God". Jesus says He will build His church, He will bring all His Creation back to Himself. He is the Way. And He said later, "After I go, I will send another One, to reveal all things to you and comfort you."- The Holy Spirit.
Now I like to go to Pre-Judaism days. Although the Tanakh is 5 books in all. The first 2 is Pre-Judaism. The question then is Why Judaism ? What is Judaism ?
Judaism was a system and code of righteous living inspired and directed by the Creator. And more importantly the central and core of the system is Blood. Blood of sacrifice. Atonement for the sins of man.
Therefore Why Blood ?
Becasue Blood represent Life. How ? Blood and Life ? . When Adonai Creator breathed into Adam [the earthy mould]His Spirit, man came alive and the earthy mould was infused wth blood. Spirit was transformed into blood. Holy Blood.
Man sinned. Flesh decay. Spirit got corrupted. Blood was no longer pure.
Man sinned ! Whats is the penalty ?? What can man repay God. You wrecked your dad's car, are you not going to repay ? The repayment must be something valuable. What other thing other than His life.
But even then its no good. A holy God cannot receive an Unholy gift. Adam as flesh would have been burn if not for the "breath of God " in him.
Therefore blood of animals are used temporarilt till a Holy Blood born of a Pure Spirit is found to redeem Man.
God first made Man, pure and Holy. So He can create another one right. For sure ! His Own Son. Of whom all things was created through Him. He must come personally to redeem Man with His Pure Blood.
Therefore you are right. If Christianity is the butterfly, Judaism is the caterpillar. Its transformed. From a 10 commandment carve in stone to one engraved in the spiirt.
Therefore in Baptism, we are rebirthed in the SPIRIT. And those that are born of the SPIIRT calls themselves Christians in honour of their Christ. As God's originl intention was a Perfect earth.

I am guessing that your confusion is related to the whole Noah's Ark thing and animals 2 x 2... thus why you posted this in this subject area...
Noah was a carpenter, not a prophet.
