While he created a new religion, the old one ignored him so much that over the years, several others rose up to claim the role of Moshiach. And some of them were far more persuasive to Jews that they were indeed the Moshiach.

Jesus did not come to create any religion, much less a new one. Jesus condemned religion. He came to restore a broken relationship between God and man. And religion can't do that.

However, this does not matter to Christians, because in their view, Jesus wrote his own rules and was not bound to Jewish traditions of what they thought he should be.

Jesus did not write His own rules. He came to fulfill prophecy and that means fulfilling the Law perfectly and completely, absolutely flawlessly.

If Jesus “wrote His own rules” we have a serious problem. The rules had been set before the beginning of the world and the Old Testament outlined it all. Jesus followed the prophecy to the letter.

Absolutely correct!

“The Way,” as his apostles called it, was the same worship that had been in operation since Adam sinned, with one clear difference: He provided the perfect, once and for all, Blood Sacrifice with his own blood, as he presided as Cohen HaGadol. When he pronounced the traditional words: “It is finished” on the cross, the price was paid for all.
