Two babies - Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism

Today's Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism, were born out of a common Judaism that was complete in the times of Ezra and Nehemiah, because the Jewish nation was given religious autonomy (King Syrus of Persia), plus Temple and Torah were finished. The Temple was reconstructed by King Zerubbabel and the High Priest Nehemiah, because the Jews were always governed by (High Priest) GOD and King, or by the physicality which was the King, and by the spirituality which was the High Priest - dual office.

In the times of our Lord and Savior CHRIST there were three main sects - groups, that influenced the Jews in their beliefs. One group was the Sadducees (Priesthood) who only catered to the rich and influencial. The other one was the Pharisees who had the most followers of the Jewish community, and then there were the Essenes or the smallest group. Since the Pharisees had the majority of the support they perrty much governed the people, while the Sadducees or priesthood were out of a job - position after the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. Around the year 90 CE the Pharisees now called Rabbis were joined by some of the Sadducees and togeather formed the council of Yavneh. These were the same ones that had stirred up the croud against CHRIST as we can see in Mark 15: 11, and who also formed Rabbinic Judaism. They wrote the oral law which was the same one that JESUS was against (tradition of the elders), and added it to what already existed, or to common Judaism. Y'SHUA, John the Baptist, His family, followers and Apostles were all Essenes. The Essenes who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls were Messianic Jews, and out of this Messianic Judaism Christianity was conceived.
