He was a Jew who persecuted the Christians, killing many, was struck blind by God on the road to Damascus, was healed by a Christian as a test of his will, spend a few years in the desert, and started preaching Christianity. The Christians didn't trust him at first. Wrote like 1/3 of the New Testament. Was beaten, imprisoned, and ended up beheaded in by Nero for the faith. We read about him as per Luke, in Acts of the Apostles. That Paul?
Anyway, the trope is that he was just a Jew faking the conversion the whole time to fuck with Christians. But a deeper understanding shows he confronted the Jewish apostles about not eating with gentile Christians, and other Jews seeking to undermine Christianity, for instance, by telling everyone that converted they had to be circumcised.
yeah I just did a post.. so this talmud rabbi type dude, where those guys despise gentiles.. goes and writes a third of the damn book about how they're heroes and convert to the cult.
The Jew converts to Christianity were telling people they weren't saved unless they followed the old law, like no eating pork, and cutting off the ends of their dicks. Christ abrogated that, was Paul's point. We are saved by him and our own good works.
The whole "synagogues of Satan" (from Revelation) problem is that since the beginning, Jews have been undermining Christianity. They are doing it now. Look into how Jews convinced evangelicals that Israel had to be protected somehow as special, with some very popular bible commentary that was popular in the late 19th early 20th Centuries. In reality, after the destruction of the Temple by the Romans, it signaled the final end of the Old Law.
My man Paul saw all that shit coming, because he dealt with it in the 00s, the 00s before 100 AD.
who's this paul guy.. hang on doing a whole post about this dude. lol.
St. Paul, apostle to the gentiles. Man oh man.

This was several centuries before the talmud was invented. A bunch of rabbis wrote that in Babylon after fleeing their failed revolt against Rome.
same shit, earlier pile. lol
