Paul plunders the Jewish sacred laws and traditions. The Mosaic laws and the ordinances are discarded. Faith is now the only requirement for acceptance into the elected family of God. The traditional animal sacrifices and feasts are abolished. In their place Jesus becomes the only acceptable sacrifice to take away the sins of the world. But that did not mean the whole world, it only applied to those who believed- The Jewish feast is now changed to the Christian mass, the Lord's supper or whatever you wish to call it. The prophets are now interpreted by Paul specifically to give authority to the new doctrine. The Hebrew tribal god becomes the world wide supreme almighty God. Paul said; "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." Heb. 9:22. Under whose authority did he say that? Why does God demand such a price for his forgiveness? Was he not able to forgive freely and for nothing? Why was repentance not sufficient? Is it really forgiveness if there is a price to pay or is it just appeasement? Paul changed the purpose of the Messiah from someone who was to save the Jewish nation from their enemies and restore the throne of David, to a spiritual saviour who would save any person from any nation from eternal punishment in the next world. Paul has done this without the authority of Jesus the prime ingredient of his philosophy.

Paul says that Jesus "Was the end of the law." Rom. 10:4. Jesus did not say that!

Paul says that Jesus "has abolished the law with the commandments and ordinances." Eph. 2:15. Jesus did not say that!

Paul says "You who want to be justified by the law have cut yourself off from Christ." Gal. 5:4. Jesus did not say that!

Paul says "A person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ." Gala.2:16- Jesus did not say that!

Paul says "A person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law." Rom. 3:28. Jesus did not sav that!

Paul says "If you let yourself be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you." Gal.5:2. Jesus did not say that!

Paul says of Jesus "Whom God appointed heir of all things. Through whom he also created the worlds." Heb.l:2.

Jesus never said any of those things!

This is pure Paulism. What Jesus did say was, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfil." Matt. 5:17-18. He always said that people should keep the laws and ordinances as given by Moses. He never claimed that faith alone would ensure eternal life.

Did Paul dream up his new religion during the three years after his conversion, before he went up to Jerusalem or was it during his stay in Arabia? By discarding Judaism and substituting it with faith, Paul puts himself in direct opposition to the teachings of Jesus. He turns the Israeli tribal god Yahweh into a universal God. Paul hijacks the Jewish national Messiah and the prophets of the Jewish sacred text to support his new convoluted religion. Instead of keeping the Mosaic commandments, Paul does not even make repentance a condition of salvation. I say convoluted religion, because he has rolled together the sayings of the prophets, the pagan idea of blood sacrifices and the death of Jesus to make a new religion which is contrary to the purpose and extent of the Messianic concept and the Jewish religion.
