We have taken a close look at the difference between the teaching of Jesus and how Paul turned the person of Jesus and his teaching into a new and different religion. It had nothing to do with what Jesus said about the Kingdom of God and the Jewish nation. Paul elevated Christ to be equal with God. For the Christians, Jesus became a supreme and a separate object of worship.

Paul repeatedly requires honourable behaviour from the members of his churches, even though he was ready to curse those who taught a different doctrine to that which he taught. He tells the church in Rome, "Let us live honourably as in the day, not in revelling and drunkenness, .... not in quarrelling and jealousy." Rom.13:13. "The commandments, you shall not commit adultery; you shall not murder; you shall not steal; you shall not covet; and any other commandment are summed up in this word, love your neighbour as yourself. Love does no wrong to a neighbour, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." Rom. 13:9-10. How right Paul was in this. Yet previously we saw that he rejected the need to keep the Mosaic law, here he endorses it. And again, "Let us therefore no longer pass judgement on one another." Rom. 14:13. Regarding sexual immorality by a church member, Paul said "Do not even eat with such a one." 1 Cor. 5:11.
