What would be the doctrinal differences between the two?
Judaism is also heavily influenced by the Babylonians Paganism through the Babylonian Talmud.
Many teachings in the Babylonian Talmud is heavily based on experiences dealing with the Babylonians during captivity.
They seem to be logically sound - but only during the time of their captivity where the Babylonians tend to be ill-mannered and exploitative. In modern application, many of its teachings could be considered quite racist and very discriminating of the Gentiles/Heathens which is how they called the Babylonians.
Judaism could work albeit partially if you have to deal with people who are deceptive and doesn't conduct their business fairly. But it is not applicable if dealing with honest Non-Jews and can be considered racist.
In Christianity, we have "discernment" which renders Judaism obsolete.
I'm not excusing Christianity from Pagan influence as well. Although the Gospels of Jesus by itself are pure, most Christians tend to adopt pagan ways and many teachings in the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament and some of the Apostles like Paul have Pagan Origins.
Even the name of Jesus is possibly Pagan in origin - note Jesus never introduced Himself as Jesus except to the Pharisee Paul. The true Messiah is simply known as the "Son of Man"
The Truth is not really made that obvious, but is only available to those who truly loves God and hates the ways of this world.
Hellenistic Judaism was involved in mysticism, Orthodox Judaism was not.
No, zero, none evidence for this. This appears to be a convenient excuse when historical Judaism contradicts or conflicts with modern so-called Messianic Judaism.
Hellenistic Judaism was involved in mysticism, Orthodox Judaism was not.
Orthodox Judaism is based on the Babylonian Talmud which is in turn, a set of rules to deal with the unruly and perverted Babylonian heathens.
It's a "tooth for a tooth" kind of treatment. Cause and effect and the cause is pagan ways.
Sadly, it's been convoluted in modern times including Christianity into a racial supremacy theme where every non-Jew is automatically classified as perverted as the ancient Babylonians were which is not true even for non-religious non-Jews.
Jews themselves are victims of these false teachings which turned them from a once noble tribe to one that is scorned by everyone.
It was for their nobility they were exploited by those who wouldn't play fair but sadly, the evil committed to them corrupted them as well.
When God returns, he cut up to pieces people who cannot play fair and take advantage of others.
You are Wrong. Hellenistic Judaism and Orthodox Judaism do not go hand in hand.
"eye for an eye" is a pagan belief and the concept is found throughout the Babylonian Talmud (BT) against the non Jews (Heathens).
Do you know the BT is central to the observation of Orthodox Judaism??
Symbols are one thing, but actions or ways are just as significant as symbolisms
Acting as they do according to varied situations is just as worse as adopting their symbols

I do not know what a BT is.
You should! In the post that you quoted TW explained what BT means. See red highlight above.

It's amusing to me how some of the beliefs that CherubRam has espoused in these types of threads align with known heretical beliefs yet he accuses orthodox Christianity of "paganism."
