Judaism and Christianity split early on over Christ/Messiah

Judaism never changed paths. They are on the same path they have always followed.

[zipper]

Let no one, then, pass judgment on you in matters of food and drink or with regard to a festival or new moon or Sabbath (Col. 2:16).

Paul never called for the law to be disregarded! He was talking about custom, not the law! There are many types of Judaism, for example, and they all respect each others' customary differences - but they all respect the law equally. Don't confuse the two.

The Lamb of God is related to the Paschal Lamb of Passover

That is the Christian view only. The word paschal has two meanings in the modern dictionary, one for Easter, one for Passover. The hebrew word is pesach.
