Can you give an example of a Christian religion that depicts Jesus as a non-Jew?
And Pauline Christianity.....can you cite one conflict between what Paul taught and what Jesus taught?
I'm almost finished with Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ"...

What shoe? You make stuff up and then accuse the rest of us of condemning you to hell. That's YOUR shoe.

As you well know, I'm not qualified to question any of your specifics. Yet, my interminable question remains. What difference do these specifics make?
Jesus was a Jew or he wasn't one? Some falsely portray him as a non-Jew even as he was a Jew. So what?

The followers of Jesus were Jewish, just as was their Rabbi. Christianity is not the religion that Jesus practiced. Pauline Christians needed to sever their ties to the religion of Jesus, while retaining the mythical Christ figure as their own Savior. That's why they engaged in anti-Jewish propaganda.
So what? I dunno. Makes little difference to me. Judaism and Christianity are both false religions in my book anyway.
Paul, like the other apostles, continues to teach what Jesus taught. There is no conflict between their teaching and Christ's. It's pretty weak to suggest that throughout history, people engaged in anti-Jewish propaganda because of a choice to sever ties with what Jesus taught. The simple fact is that God's chosen people have been persecuted since long before Jesus walked the earth.

You really should read more history.
You really should read actual history. When you're ready to claim that everyone who commits an ugly act in the name of his religion is accurately and honestly representing his stated faith, let me know.

The truth isn't always what you expected.
But I have heard the truth is both out there, and will set you free.
