Aaah.. well I guess it's more about the semantics of "jewish content". Okay, the New Testament is Jewish content in that it was written by a Jew, just like Noam Chomsky's latest book is "Jewish content" in that it was written by a Jew.

However, neither Noam Chomsky's latest book nor the New Testament are "Jewish Content" in that they are equaly holy to Jews(I'm not talking about messianic Jews here though whom are more alike in their beliefs to christians), but still written by Jews.

You gave a link to a messianic Jewish rabbi, not a Jewish rabbi. There's a difference.
