In a sane world there would be absolutely nothing misleading in relation to the term “Judeo-Christian.” Faithful Biblical Christianity is built upon faithful Biblical Judaism.  The writers of the New Testament quoted from and appealed to the Old Testament (aka the Tanakh) constantly.  

Since God is eternal and unchanging, any moral principle taught in the Old Testament is valid in Christianity; and likely has a clear direct reference in the New Testament as well.  It is right to see the command to not murder, as well any other righteous moral principle, as being consistent with both Biblical Judaism and Biblical Christianity.

With the exception of the change regarding ceremonial requirements now due to Christ’s finished sin offering on the cross, and the resulting installment of the operation of His High Priesthood in heaven which has superseded the Levitical Priesthood, the practical means of walking by faith in the light of God’s Word have not changed at all in terms of how a Jew was to live in the times of the Old Testament and in terms of how a Christian ought to live now.

What is so misleading then about the term Judeo-Christian?

In short: It connects Christianity with Judaism now; and it also connects Christianity with corrupted practices of Judaism throughout the ages.

Consider: If a natural Jewish person turns to Jesus Christ, they are going into alignment with the faithful Judaism of the Old Testament.  Yet when an ethnically Jewish person turns to Jesus Christ, though they are coming to align with the faithful Judaism of the Old Testament, they are simultaneously going against the corrupted Judaism which was being expressed by some well before Christ came; and which defines Judaism today.  

That corrupted Judaism has very much to do with what is set forth in the teachings of the Talmud and Kabbalah.  These teachings contain a multitude of wicked, ungodly, and blasphemous things- even basically calling natural gentiles beasts meant to serve the natural Jews, saying some blatantly horrifying things against Jesus Christ, and saying many, many other things out of line with the Old Testament.  

The use of the term “Judeo-Christian” gives the impression that this corrupt element of Judaism is acceptable for Christians to associate with.  However, it is not acceptable; and no one should want to risk giving anyone the impression that it is.
