Anyone with a casual knowledge of the Apostle Paul (also known as Saul) and his writings on the Law of Moses would have to conclude that he is either the champion of “authentic Christian faith and liberty in Christ” or that he is a defender of Messianic Torah-based living, two ideals that seemingly oppose one another in these theologically-charged days in which we live. Which statement would you regard as more accurate?

A) Paul established historic Christianity on the freedom grounded in Jesus Christ, the only one to ever fulfill the Law of Moses, thus setting all believers free from any previous obligations to the old covenant and its ceremonies.
B) Paul continued to establish and teach the Torah of Moshe as a viable and foundational way of life for Jews who embrace Messiah, as well as for Gentiles grafted into Isra'el via the exact same faith in the very same Messiah.

With confusion like this rampant in the Body of Messiah, how are we to uncover truth?

In a nutshell, what I attempt to get across to my audience is the idea that we as the historic church have miscast Paul and his 1st century Judaisms. Basically, I am challenging 1500+ years of church history to show that Paul did not have any problem with Torah for the Gentiles per se (circumcision included). Rather, he was on a mission to correct the mistaken notion that only Jews could be covenant members.
