For Christians, Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses.
Christians are not held to the ceremonial parts of the Mosaic Law concerning of dietary purity and temple worship.
Christians are held to the moral law of God, some of which is expressed in the Ten Commandments.
However Jesus took the Ten Commandments to the next step summarizing them into the two Great Commandments:
+ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
+ You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
And teaching things like
+ Everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
+ Everyone is our neighbor including our enemies.
Therefore we have to go much farther than the original recipients of the Ten Commandments ever dreamed.
With love in Christ.

What Jesus preached was so contrary to Judaism that it outraged the Jewish leaders so much they plotted to have Him killed. The Jewish religion was then and still is today those who do NOT believe in Jesus Christ. Therefore, how could one be a follower of Jesus by practicing Judaism?

The easiest way to explain the difference is in one fundamental difference in Jewish and Christian beliefs - Jews are still waiting the coming of the Messiah. Jews do not believe Jesus was the Son of God. Christians, however, do believe Jesus is the Son of God, and they await His Second Coming.
Remember, Jesus is Divine. Therefore, He is not under the Law (like the rest of us), He transcends it. The Gospels, among other New Testament Scripture, is based on the teachings of Jesus Himself.

Christianity takes some tenets of Judaism (the ten commandments, for example) and everything else from what Jesus said. We can't be Jews, because those from the Jewish faith reject Jesus as Messiah, and we don't.

Jesus' religion wasn't Judaism...it was Christianity. His race was Jewish. In fact, Jesus even said to those Jews who practiced Judaism, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me." (John 8:37-42)

Yes. it is my understanding that Jesus was born a Jew.
Jesus Christ preached totally new and revolutionary teachings. He started a new form of religion which many would call Roman Catholicism. Years later various people broke away from "Rome" and started other types of christianity. Martin Luther and the Lutherans, King Henry the Eighth and The Church of England are examples of this.

Scholars agree that the name "Christian" was given to the followers of Christ. What about followers of Mary? They are called "Catholics".
Yes, Jesus was a jewish and a 3 person god was not the God of the Israelites nor was a three person being the God of Jesus Christ. Neither the Jews and Jesus, knew nothing about serving a three person God. The Israelite God was a one God. Jesus is an Israelite, also served a one God, his father. YAHWEH identifies Himself in singular person terminology and as the Father of His Chosen People. Yes again, Christianity as the true heir of Judaism and as a truly monotheistic belief.
"Mystery of the Trinity" is the central doctrine of the Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant faith. It means, It's has nothing to do with Christian Faith.
John gave this warning, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit but be testing the spirits if they are from God or not because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
There are many different denominations, religious movements, cults and isms of all kinds. God did not send them they are not speaking His word but still they accept the teachings of men rather than the teachings of the Bible.
Many have fallen away from the truth because they are misguided to believe in the false doctrines of evil men that have corrupted God's truth.
Jesus is telling us that we have power over these evil men because of the one who lives in us is greater than the one who is in world.
True Christians have a common fellowship around the truth because it is written, "My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me." John 10:27
God’s word gives strong exhortations for Christians to come out of false religious belief and be separated. "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins." Rev. 18:4
You must seek the truth to find it. You cannot just blindly accept what someone tells you is the truth. Remember, Satan is the master of counterfeiters and his False Church is nothing but a continuation of Babylon.

Except that the Jews crucified him. They do not accept him as the Messiah. Jesus did not say that everyone should become Jewish. Or Baptist or Catholic or Presbyterian or .....
