I'll cover a few parts of your post that are incorrect that I underlined. If you look up the original names of the disciples, nearly all are Aramaic and a few are Grecian. Thus most were not Jews. Since the NT was written in Greek, there were probably only a few actual Jews. You have documents you call gospels that you take on faith as being truth, but have no facts to prove that they are no more than romanticized letters.
The disciples were all Jews and will as Jesus told them sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel as stated in Matthew 19:28.
And the New Testament documents, about half of them written by Paul, a Jew, have every bit as much authority as the Old Testament books, and are just as much the word of God.

Pretty much since the Christian Old Testament books are not a direct translation of the Tanakh. The Christian Old Testament books have been modified to be in line with the New Testament. Since there is already a lengthy thread that covers this, you can continue this tangent there.
Simon Peter:Aramaic:Simon (Shim'on):means G-d has heard:Peter (Cephas/Kephas) means rock
Andrew:A Greek name means Adam, man, manly:He's Peter's brother
John:Aramaic/Hebrew: (Yochanan):means G-d is gracious
James/Jacob:Aramaic: (Ya'aqov):means to follow, heel
Thomas:Aramaic: (Tau'ma):means twin
Matthew:Aramaic: (Mattityahu):means gift of G-d
Simon the Cananaean:Aramaic:means the zealot or jealous one
Philip:A Greek name:means lover/friend of horses
Bartholomew:Aramaic:means son of farmer/furrow/hill (He was also known as Nathaniel)
Judas Iscariot:Aramaic: (Yehuda):means praised one
James the younger:Aramaic: (Ya'aqov) means to follow, heel
Matthias(chosen after Judas):Aramaic: (Matityahu)variant of Matthew:means gift of G-d
Thaddaeus:Aramaic:means heart:brother of James
Furthermore:
Mark is Latin (Marcus) and means sea green or hammer
Luke is Greek (Loukas) and means from Luciania (Italy)
Timothy is a Greek name that means honoring G-d
Titus is Latin and means to honor or defender
And fwiw Rennah is Greek. The closest it gets to Hebrew is Yiddish and Yiddish is a European Jewish created language that is not used biblicaly.
you need to stop fibbin..https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang...gs=H7440&t=KJV
the old testament is written in hebrew and three or four forms of that word are in all parts of the hebrew bible from the start to the end ! maybe a few loan words have similar roots or are hints of loan words of their neighbors and shares roots of their language ( which greek share (AE)Lycian roots with hebrews which is what I really am (AE)lycian) .
so Egyptians/ Menes / Mizraim must not have a good R sound either but instead substitute a Q type sound for R sounds. But the (AE)Lycian rooted languages seems to have an R sound but it seems it was destroyed with the menegewi wars in the new world .

You avoided addressing what I just told you. You denied that the disciples were Jews and I just showed you that they were.
With regard to the Old Testament, I merely stated that the New Testament is just as authoritative and as much the word of God as the Old Testament. And that's regardless of whether the reference is to the Hebrew Tanakh which is simply based on the Masoretic text, or to the Septuagint which is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible and which in some places seems to follow a different Hebrew text than the Masoretic text, or to the Dead Sea scrolls. When the New Testament quotes the Old Testament it often quotes the Septuagint. The Septuagint which is pre-Christian at times varies from the Hebrew Tanach which suggests that there were various Hebrew texts in existence.
