How could Paul convert Jews to Judaism? He was converting Jews to Christianity. BTW, all his life since his first station in Damascus and until his last in Rome he never left the Jews in peace. (Acts 9:1,2; and 28:17)
Are you not aware of the chronology of the split of Judaism and Christianity?
No. The only split I am aware of is the split between the Tribes of Israel.(I kings 12:16)
"The Way" was a sect of Judaism. Efforts to segregate this sect and exclude it from Judaism did not begin in earnest until AFTER the destruction of Herod's temple. Rabbi Akiva began the efforts to "purify" Judaism of all its sects other than the Pharisees. "The Way" was not completely separated from Judaism until Akiva proclaimed Simon bar Kochba to be "the messiah" and all who would not swear allegiance to be enemies. That time frame is 90-135 CE.
"The Way" was also called the Sect of the Nazarenes. The most recent Jewish Sect in the First Century. (Acts 9:1,2)
Paul died around 67-68 CE. Whatever converts he made, were converts to Judaism, albeit of a sect other than Pharisee.
Prove it with a quote from your own NT.
The problem is that you do not see that early Christianity IS Judaism. It's just a different sect than what you are used to.
Judaism never had any thing to do with Christianity. The only other Jewish sect was of the Nazarenes which Paul persecuted before he founded Christianity. (Acts 9:1,2; 11:26)
The church wasn't anti-Jewish until the mid-2nd century. Anti-Semitism became widespread in the 2nd century, having been spread by Roman soldiers who had fought in the two insurgencies in 70 and 135 CE.
The Church was anti-Jewish from the onset when Paul founded it. (Acts 11:26) The insurgency of 70 ACE was in the First Century, not 2nd.
How could a church which WAS Jewish possibly be anti-Jewish?
Please, prove it with your own NT that Christianity was ever Jewish?
Generations of Muslim teaching, perhaps?
Where did they get the idea that the Jews had killed Jesus?
It's a paradigm issue. You view Judaism as synonymous with Moses. Paul views it as synonymous with Abraham.
If Paul had viewed Judaism as synonymous with Abraham he would not have preached against circumcision, the token of the Abrahamic Covenant. (Acts 21:21)
Paul endeavors to adopt his proselytes "ben Abraham" but without Moses, which in his view was "added afterwards because of transgressions." Galatians 3:19.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
From your perspective, Paul has departed from Judaism, because Judaism equates with Moses, and Paul's proselytes are without Moses.
Not me. Jesus who equated Judaism with Moses. Read Luke 16:31. He said that to escape hell-fire one must listen to "Moses" aka the Law.
From my perspective, Judaism equates with Abraham, and practice of the Abrahamic covenant constitutes practice of Judaism.
And from my perspective, Judaism equates to both, Abraham and Moses. (Luke 16:31)
Yes - that is not Pharisee Judaism. It's a different sect; a different "Way."
That's the Sect of the Nazarenes; the Sect Paul used to persecute. (9:1,2)
I didn't say there was RT in the Tanach. I said that there was corruption within Judaism by the kings. A separate thread perhaps? Give me a day or so to put together a post.
You have all the time in the world.
