You are correct. He claims the same multiple times at his trials...
START AT CHAPTER 21 HIS ARREST
What were the charges the Jews accussed Paul with...the same you claim actually...the irony
Verse 28 “men of Israel help this is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people the law and this place...”
Verse 31 “they were seeking to kill him...” you know, for what you too accuse him of...that the law changed, Sabbath is done away with, no need for His festivals anymore, we can eat dogs..
Galatians 5:11 Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
Galatians 6:12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ.
They wanted Paul killed before that because they thought he was trying to trick them into saying they believed in Jesus so that Paul could drag them off to prison.Now please imagine if he taught the joys of Catholicism...3 and 1 god...Peter was holy christ on earth...make images to honor them pray at them...eat His flesh and blood...use Rosary...Mary and all the saints alive in heaven...purgatory...eternal hell fire...the list goes on and on...
Surely the Jews would be offended and accuse him of all that too!! And wish to kill him...
But Paul was able to calm them down by speaking in Hebrew...NOT LATIN...remember they KNOW Paul as the christian killing Pharisee...
However when he got to the part that he admits he was sent to give the message to the Gentiles the jews demanded to kill him...
So what is their charge? Jesus to the gentiles...NOTHING MORE...nothing about Sabbath becoming a man or every day...
Colossians 2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
Hebrews 8:5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
Hebrews 10:1 [ Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All ] The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Galatians 4:10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
(Now at this point there was NO NT...no gospels...so of course it all came from the OT...Paul had written some letters that could have been submitted as evidence to his abrogating the Immutable law...NONE WAS PROVIDED as those letters did not abrogate the Law...)
The OLD COVENANT spoke of a time when a NEW COVENANT would be made and Stephen and Paul were trying to show that Jesus coming is the fulfillment of those prophecies.
There is a difference in old covenant and new covenant so why are you fighting against it?
