It doesn't come from Paul either, if one interprets his letters by his life. It comes from people misreading Paul because they haven't done their homework in the Tanakh and the Gospel accounts first.

Christ did not teach abandoning the Law, circumcision, dietary restrictions, etc. That's where the disagreement between +Paul and the Apostles who knew Christ personally arose. To them, +Pauline gospel (he called it 'my gospel') rang foreign to what they remembered from Christ's teachings.
More importantly, if they were all inspired, and filled with Spirit, how could they be in disagreement?
Anti-judaizing elements in Christian movmeents appear relatively early (Didache, Epistle of Barnabas), calling the Jews "hypocrites," and claiming that the Jews were never in covenant with God. The latter (from the Epistle of Barnabas) disappeared from the Christian Bibles after the 4th century. But, as you observed earlier, the anti-judaizing rants of Christian leaders continued well into the fifth century (+John Chrysostom).
There is no other author of post-Pentecost Christianity other than +Paul. The Church in Jerusalem died out. We know next to nothing about its practices other than that it was very much like a synagogue and allegedly did not use the Eucharist.
It [the idea that Christianity is not Judaism] comes from people misreading Paul because they haven't done their homework in the Tanakh and the Gospel accounts first
How so? When +Paul preached 'his gospel' the Gospels were not written yet. From 44 until his death in the mid 60's of the first century, +Paul pretty much interpreted Christ's message to the Hellenized Jews and Gentiles without Gospels.
