Very interesting article --- I have a vague memory that the actual SPLIT between followers of "Jesus" (whoever he was) and Jews occurred when Bar-Kochbar (sp?) led the uprising that ended with the final defeat of Jewish resistance, the destruction of the Temple and the massacre at Massada. According to the text I read (back in the 1950s mind you) in Hebrew School, the supporters of Bar-Kochbar stated that he was "the Messiah" --- this led the "Judeo-Christians" to break completely from the Jews claiming that from their point of view the figure they called "the Christ" had been the Messiah --- they identified themselves as Christians and the rest is history ...
(Have no idea if this simple story has been revised by subsequent writings but I find it interesting that this article, from 1971, doesn't even mention Bar-Kochbar --- nor the "Christian" disassociation from the Jewish revolt in 66-70 ...)
