Christianity has misunderstood the teachings of Rabbi Yahushua and one of his talmidim Sha'ul. Many believe that they taught that YHWH "nailed the law to the cross," which directly goes against the teaching of Yahushua.
Mattityahu 5:17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to do correctly. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
Yahushua never ate unclean food. His talmidim that lived with him followed his example in keeping Torah.
After the Bar Kokhba revolt, the Greek followers of Yahushua wanted to separate themselves from the persecution and pushed away anything that would tie them to the Yahudim - including the Torah of Moshe which their Master obeyed and taught.
Yahushua did not come to start a new religion. He came to point people back to the Torah, to repent from their lawlessness to follow the Elohim of Yisrael, as all of the nabi did before him. The Greek followers of Yahushua started a new religion that abandoned the basic truths - the Instruction (Torah) of the creator if the universe.
Ultimately they changed the Jewish laws because they wanted to separate the two religions and show that one is individual from the other.
This comes primarily from the Vision of Peter in Acts 10:9-16, where God commands Peter to abandon the laws of Kashrut and eat unclean animals. Early Christians took this as a sign that the Jewish food laws were not important and abandoned them.
Food prepared according to the laws of kashrut (Jewish dietary laws) is referred to as 'kosher'.
The Jewish food laws started 3300 years ago, when the Torah was given. They are still ongoing today because the Torah is for all generations. See also:The Jewish food-laws
