Christianity didn’t become the state religion of Rome until the fourth century. But James, the brother of Jesus, and the Apostle Peter both clearly detached Christianity from the old covenant in 50 AD at the First Jerusalem Council.
The very reason for that council was because the Judaizers were still insisting that Christians must follow the old covenant. So the leaders of the church at that time, James and Peter, clearly put that issue to rest.
It was made crystal clear by James and Peter…both in agreement with the Apostle Paul...that salvation comes for both Jews and Gentiles through the grace of Jesus, and not through the old covenant.
And, you would need to accept Pauls' writings though, you could make the case that there are no more Jews and/or Gentiles, for he says both groups have been made into ONE....................
