History of the Nazarenes

[Aaron S]

Shlama Achai,

Here's the problem of posturing Paul in such light in the form of questions:

• Was Paul teaching something in stark contrast to the message of Mashiyach?
• If so:
  • Did YHWH knowingly hiring someone who would be a detriment to the Mashiyach's message?
  • Was YHWH intending to establish what is colloquially called Christianity?
  • Would the apostles allow him to speak such things?
  • Was his encounter with Yeshua in the spirit a made up story?

My thoughts pertaining to the above questions:

• If Yeshua was preaching the same thing as Paul, then all is well: but this seems to be far from the case even by a quick glance at the words of Mashiyach.
• If Paul was preaching something different from Yeshua, then YHWH was in error when he picked Paul as a light to the nations; for it would have been better for him to continue to persecute rather than to invent a new religion.
• Can anyone show me words of an apostle that put Paul in a negative light?

All this leads me to believe that what Christianity postures as the simple/pshat reading of Paul is vastly incorrect and needs to be reevaluated under the notion that Paul was zealous for Torah.
