I have come across an excellent paper written by Philip Neal which explains very well the misconceptions which developed for Jews and Christians over the course of history:-) It is very exhaustive but please make sure to read at least Appendix 4 subsequent to the paper.
Please note : I do not agree with Pages 129 - 131 of Chapter Eight (last three pages of the paper) as I see this as a personal viewpoint with a bias which I feel does not fit in with the rest of the paper. In addition, in Appendix Four, Page 196 I take exception to the paragraph "Before Jesus came in the flesh ... New Testament" as it implies Yahushua is YHUH (God) which I have written a previous article about. The same concept is shown in Pg 222 "However, the Lord God of the Old Covenant ...Old Covenant marriage". In Pages 201 and 237 of Appendix 4 there is mention of "laying on of hands" in relation to the receiving of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) which I am wary of considering that most of the modern churches today are lost and may not necessarily have the Ruach HaKodesh present in their church but rather a false spirit. Perhaps the laying on of hands was more particular to the Apostles' time? The Apostles themselves had the Ruach Hakodesh imparted to them in tongues of fire - it need not be restricted.
Anyway, please persist in reading the following, it explains plenty :
Judaism--Revelation of Moses or Religion of Men (PDF format)
