the jewish faith (I mean a long long time ago) Actually had several gods, which would make sense from an anthropolitcal point of view. Any how, I remember reading some where that they had a High God and then the god of Isreal was Jehova. That Jesus felt the God of the OT wasn't the true God because Jehova was not the true God.
I can't remember where I read it and I was wondering if anyone else knew anything about it.

I research places that are reliable. I am an educated person believe it or not. It's still interesting to throw things out here and see what comes back.

There are/were people who were born Jewish and who worshiped various different Pagan God's. If you read about Solomon in the Bible you are reading about one of them.
The Jesus/False OT God thing I have touched on, but, In My Opinion that is likely a translative and "Evangelical" twist on the original story. This twist died out because it was not true.
If it is not of God it cannot endure. If it is of God it cannot be stopped. Paraphrased from the Book of Acts.
PS: One of the translative issues is the ideology of Angels and God. It is said that every nation and every tribe of Israel had it's own specific Angel. You can find some references in the Bible to this, although you will find more in Ginsberg's "legends of the Jews".
Translating from Hebrew to a different language you could interpret Angel to be a lesser god and God to be the greater God.
I could go deeper, but, it would probably bore you since if you were really interested you would be researching this somewhere reliable.

The Biblical Israelites were monotheistic.Jews founded the humanistic religion called Judaism in 6th century Babylon.See:Michael A Hoffman's "Judaism's Strange Gods".It is a well documented book."Judeo-Christianity" is an oxymoronic term.Then read GAl.3;Hebrews;and Rev.2:9.

Jesus never called Jehova false, because that is an accepted name of God. The multiple god statement pertains to when the Israelites entered the land of Caanan and instead of destroying the original inhabitants, they ended up integrating and picking up the habits of the multiple deities of Canaan.

in order to judge the bible you have to take a look at it from itself not an outside source. the bible claims that there was a satan that tricked man out of his god authority and altering his nature. then there are many prophecies written of a messiah. jesus as the bible states is that messiah. a man of sorrows bruised for the transgressions of many. jesus was supposed to have lived a sinless life as the lamb of god. the bible claims that jesus is god made flesh. judaism is different in that unlike any other ancient religion it is monotheistic. one god. jesus was a jew and was supposed to have fulfilled the old testament bringing in the new. what you read was probably a man or woman that was a bit confused in his judgments. if we believe the bible or not take it for what it is and don't base truth on speculation.

No.
Just as some self-described "Christians" advocate beliefs and practices which have little or no connection with biblical Christianity, so too some self-described "Jews" participated in pagan false worship. The bible itself describes such apostasy, and makes it clear that Jehovah never tolerated it.
(Numbers 25:2-11) And the women came calling the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people began to eat and to bow down to their gods. So Israel attached itself to the Baal of Peor; and the anger of Jehovah began to blaze against Israel. ...And those who died from the scourge amounted to twenty-four thousand. Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying: “Phinehas...has turned back my wrath from upon the sons of Israel by his tolerating no rivalry at all toward me in the midst of them, so that I have not exterminated the sons of Israel in my insistence on exclusive devotion.
