It was a major point of contention between James the Just and Paul.
But as far as I can tell, James was the uncontested leader of the early "Christians" and he considered himself to be a devout and pious Jew. It wasn't until the revolt some thirty plus years after Jesus' death that Judaism and Christianity really began divergent paths. And Paul of course, who still probably never intended what later happened.
Or at least that's my understanding.
