The document summarizes the early history of Christianity and its split from Judaism in several stages:
1) After Jesus' death, his followers began preaching to both Jews and Gentiles, leading to a split as Gentiles were accepted without converting to Judaism.
2) The destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD further separated Christianity from Judaism.
3) By the 2nd century, the growing Gentile-led Christian church rejected its Jewish roots and origins.
4) This established Christianity as a distinct religion, separate from Judaism, with its own traditions, leadership, and identity.
