At first, the Christian church was considered the next step from the Rabbi’s teaching. The division was only between those who believed the Christ who died for our sins and was the Messiah promised was the man who had been born in Bethlehem or was still to come. Both went to synagogue and both worshiped God the Father as the same God. Other than that , all Christians and orthodox Jews believed the same thing about God. Paul's working through the priests persecuting Christians was not the norm for the average person.
Paul (as a Christian) always went to synagogue, special churches for only those who believed Christ had come hadn’t been established, yet.
Many Christians had not heard, yet, about Paul’s teaching against Jewish practices we call Judaism. Ideas we consider simple fact today would have outraged and shocked them. We are taught that God took back the blessings that He created for certain days of the week and year like the days for the feasts or the Sabbaths. I don’t know of a Christian today who believes that God blesses the three prayer times of the day (morning, noon and evening).
History has been filled with the persecutions of the Jews by the Christian church. Today no Christian would go to synagogue.
