One big change is they can no longer offer blood sacrifices, as their Temple was destroyed.

Of course not! The Jewish religion has never changed. Our whole religion is based on the Torah that G-d created with his infinite wisdom - it was made to last an eternity. There is no such a thing in Judaism as something being outdated or old fashioned. Whatever G-d commanded us to do remains the same.
The only difference is, as some stated, that we do not have the temple any more. That did not change the religion. It just means that we cannot do certain mitzvot like bringing offerings, lighting the menorah in the temple, bringing your first fruits to the Kohanim in the temple and so forth.

It is very sad indeed that we cant do these anymore but as soon as the messiach come the 3rd and everlasting temple will be built and we will be able to do this once again.

There are some "Jews" we decided to change and update the Torah. They are part of the Conservative and Traditional Jews. They have sinned and are totally in the wrong for doing that.

Have you read about the Enlightenment? When Jews were freed from Ghettos, they had a Reformation much the same as the Christians. Have you considered what the word Protestant means?

Catholicism was the only Christian religion for most of the last 2000 years until Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church.

When Napolian forced the Catholic Church to release Jews from ghettos, they also split into Orthodox and Reform. Some time after that, the Conservative branch was formed.

The closest thing Jews have to a creed, is Deuteronomy 6. Since Jews don't have a central belief system, the main thing to change was "practice."

after the destruction of the temple there has been little change in the Jewish religion.

the major affects are not in Jewish principle but rather in law. The development of the Talmud and the customs of Arabic and European Jews have changed how Judaism looks and how it is practiced than it was before the temple, but the principals have always remained the same.

The Jewish religion is about as close to the Jewish religion practiced in Judea as the Christian version of Judaism.

Many things have changed. For example, there are many different sects of Judaism. Orthodox, Reform, etc.

The Jewish culture has changed too, with its constant moving. They have picked up things from other cultures and indeed other religions.
