Why did the Jesus movement ultimately break from Judaism?

The final act that caused the Jesus movement to completely break from Judaism was the addition of the claim of Jesus's divinity.

Note: There would have been no issue with uncircumcised gentiles being in a synagogue. Prior to the advent of Christianity, Judaism was actually a popular religion amongst a large percentage of the Roman population. Many Romans lived as 'Noachides' which is a name given to gentiles who live according to the Noahide laws found in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). These Noachides would have studied with rabbis. Additionally, there is no record of Jews having to condemn Christians in synagogues.

An important reason that led to tensions before the break seems to be that the Christians brought uncircumcised gentiles to worship at the synagogues. Christian tradition also gradually became more harshly critical of Judaism, because of their alleged responsibility for the crucifixion of Jesus.

The break came in 85 CE, when Christians were banned from the synagogues. From this time, Jews attending the synagogues were required to condemn the Christians, to ensure that Christians did not quietly attend Jewish services without disclosing their true religious beliefs.

How is Christianity a continuation of Judaism and How is it a break from Judaism?

Answer Continuation: Christians have as part of their scripture the writings of Judaism (called the Old Testament in the christian Bible). Break: Christians accept Jesus as the Messiah, while Jews believe the Messiah has not come yet.Answer Christianity is a continuation of Judaism because Christians worship the same God and use the Jewish scriptures as its Old Testament. Christianity is a break from Judaism because it rejects many of the principles of Judaism, creates a Holy Trinity in contrast to the strict monotheism of Judaism, introduces many new beliefs such Satan as the evil adversary of God, and hell; and radically reinterprets the Hebrew scriptures to suit a New Testament agenda.
