If you throw out what Paul wrote you would have a very short New Testament.
Must you be stupid every day?
I wonder why mods haven’t acted on your multiple Zone 1 violations.
Paul did not force anyone to worship Jesus. He nowhere writes that Jews should cease Torah observance, and in fact when falsely accused of such went through purification. Jewish leadership had trouble with Paul and all the Apostles, but it does not seem Paul had issues with the Jewish people.
I didnt say that. I said he spoke of contempt for Jews. Just look at the following, in which he says that Jews displease Gd and are hostile to everyone….that others suffer because of the Jews….that Jews pile their sins up to the limit….that they killed Jesus (of course)…and that Gd’s wrath is upon them.
One of the first things I thought was, "Is Lisa referring to 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16" and immediately dismissed it. At the time Jewish leadership in Thessalonian was causing trouble for those who were listening to Paul. It wasn't Paul and those interested in what Paul was saying that were causing trouble. Jewish leadership was persecuting Paul and his followers. Paul pointed out that this leadership was of the same mold as the leadership in Jerusalem that fought against what Jesus had been saying. Paul did not fight against Jewish faith, he did fight against the political faction of Jewish leadership.I didnt say that. I said he spoke of contempt for Jews.

That’s some pretty damning remarks about Jews. HE is the root cause of all the antisemitism among Christians.

Paul was also quite a naughty Jew before he got saved. Being Jewish isn't the problem. Being an unbeliever and persecuting Christians was the problem.I didnt say that.

Jews persecuted Christians? We just wanted to be able to practice our faith without being subjected to contempt for not wanting to abandon Judaism.
Christians weren't murdering Jews. Paul was and so were other Jews before they became Christians. In fact, all the first Christians were Jews.
I know all that. The topic was the contempt which with Paul referred to Jews who refused to convert to Christianity.
What do you mean by giving you a break? This isn't an interrogation.
