The moment Gentiles began to dominate the Christian demographic, we began to deliberately divorce ourselves from the Judaic ethos of the faith. This was due in part to the mounting tensions between mainline Judaism and the controversies surrounding this new sect of “the Way,” and in part to the controversy of Jerusalem saddling the Roman Empire that Gentile Christians wanted distance from, and, lastly, in sure part to the general antisemitism and anti Judaism within the Empire that colored, say, Roman Christian interpretation of the foundational texts. By the time Church Fathers gathered to root out heresies and identify core doctrines in our creeds, they had intentionally distanced Christendom from Jerusalem and Judaism. This was done deliberately, and to everyone’s detriment. - Stephanie Quick, Kingdom Come
