As the Greeks and pagans began to join the church moved further and further away from the Jewish roots and the Old Testament.

Consider the part that Reformation and "Bible churches" play in your scenario. Christian liturgy has Jewish roots. I would be interested in your thoughts on the site that this links to

Christian worship, then, was a Christ-centered pattern that continued and preserved the traditional structure of synagogue worship and the meaning of temple worship that the Lord had established in Israel. This basic structure included the Old and New Testament practices of liturgy, baptism, and Paschal feast that became the Eucharist, and certain of the feast days.

Thanks for sending that link. It was intresting...at the synagogue they are having instruction starting last Shabbat on T’filah....which is water immersion so yeah the Church took a lot of Jewish Liturgy and customs...we also picked up a lot of pagan stuff which how we got Jesus being born in December instead of feast of Tabernacles when he was more than likely born
Be blessed
