Rabbi Paul - Misunderstood Hebrew of Hebrews

Many of us read the epistles written by Paul thinking that they are fairly easy to understand. Peter tells us that not only are Paul’s teachings sometimes difficult to understand, but that people were already misinterpreting them in his day.

…maybe we don’t fully understand who Paul was and what he was saying after all.

Listen with us as Jim Denman and Tim Terry look into the rabbi who wrote no less than 20 books in the scriptures we have today; a man who called himself a Hebrew of Hebrews, a Pharisee, and zealous for the Law above all others.

Why was Paul willing to take a Nazarite vow, which calls for a sin offering to be sacrifice; then pay for the sacrifice of others – as a born again believer? Why did Paul, just before his death, call himself a Pharisee? Why would Paul quote the Torah in order to tell us that we are no longer “under the Law?”
