Unveiling Paul: A Deeper Look at the Apostle's Teachings

The teachings of the Apostle Paul have been a subject of debate and discussion among scholars and believers for centuries. To understand the true Paul, it is essential to delve into his writings and the context in which he wrote. The anchor passages for this teaching are Romans 7:4-6, Galatians 3:13, and Colossians 2:14, which provide insight into Paul's view on the law and salvation.

Paul's teachings on the law have been misunderstood by many, with some believing that he abolished the law altogether. However, a closer look at his writings reveals that he was specifically referring to the law of sacrifice, which was done away with through the sacrifice of Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ) (Romans 7:4-6). The rest of the law, including the Torah, remains in effect. As Paul wrote in Romans 3:31, "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."

The law of sacrifice was a temporary measure, given to the Israelites until the coming of the Messiah. As the Mashiach (Christ), Yeshua fulfilled the law of sacrifice, making it no longer necessary for believers to offer sacrifices for their sins (Hebrews 10:1-18). This is evident in the book of Hebrews, which states that the sacrifices offered under the old covenant were only a shadow of the good things to come, but the sacrifice of Yeshua is the reality (Hebrews 10:1).
