PAUL FOR DUMMIES

Shaul was a Torah Scholar (Acts28:23, 27:22-24, 25:8)

He Kept Jewish Traditions and Customs (Acts 28:17, 26:4-5, 22:1-3)

His Jewish and Torah context and presuppositions are deep, powerful, often, implied, and hard to understand void of a Torah foundation. 2 Peter 3:15-18

PAUL VS. THE LAW

Shaul was a Pharisee Rom 3:31, 7:12

Have you ever heard of Beit Shamei? What is the argument of Galatians ch 3 in

regarding Goyim? Gal 3:8 Don’t cast off Torah because of 1 or 2

versus that seem contradictory

HOW DO YOU READ AND APPLY TORAH? How did Yeshua use the Torah?

Luke 24:27 The Messiah is on every page!

ROMANS 14

Opinions…not Mitzvot! Clean and unclean…not allowed and

forbidden Purity is the issue.

Neither Shaul nor any Jew of his day would question wither G-d’s appointed times really mattered. Why assume different for Kosher laws?
