Christianity started out as a sect of Judaism, but about 100 years after the Crucifixion it turned and became antisemitic. There was a Jewish church in Jerusalem, which kept kosher and observed Yom Kippur. That means they didn't believe that Jesus had died for their sins. They were Jews who believed that Jesus was the Messiah and the Son of Man, and he had been resurrected from the dead by God. A century later the church was dispersed by the Roman Army, which expelled all Jews from Jerusalem.
This impressed the Hellenized Gentile churches, who concluded that the Jews were fundamentally wrong and who then excommunicated Jewish people who believed Jesus was the Messiah, but not God. Those Messianic Jews then had to decide whose side they were on. It was at this time that the Gentile churches started defining what became the Bible.
By the time that Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire, the Bible had been finalized. Antisemitism became official government policy. Jesus became God.

I made the post public. It’s funny you mentioned this because I’ll be publishing a new post about it in a few hours.
