Converted to what? Paul was a Jew until the day he died. Not just a Jew, but a Temple Jew. Not just a Temple Jew, but an observant Temple Jew.

Sigh... you've not read the Acts of the Apostles or any of Paul's letters, have you?

He said very clearly that the New covenant was with God and ALL of His people, that the early covenant was just with God and the children of Israel but that now God had granted grace on all His Children.

Do you as a Jewish person believe that God's grace is now solely with you because you are descended from Abraham? We believe that accident of birth does not determine grace, but God's will alone and that a descendent of Ham has as much a chance to get God's grace as a descendent of Shem.

He would be repulsed by the "church" that declared Jews as "Christ-killers" and has a long sad history of murdering Jews.

The people who in front of the Sanhedrin said that Christ's blood would be on them and their children were not ALL the Jews in the world and in no way can that be used to say that Jews are Christ-killers. The more correct term is that ALL of us -- you AND me are Christ-killers, by our sins.

The Church of God, founded by God and a continuation of the Temple, through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is God's will.

I have spent years studying the New Testament... in Greek. I am intimately familiar with all of its precious words, I can assure you. On the other hand, I have learned that just as Peter said about Paul, whose, "words hard to understand, which some distort to their own ruin." Without immersing yourself in the language and culture of Paul, you won't ever understand him. Although he likely spoke Latin and Greek... he thought like a Jew, and his training under Gamliel was thoroughly "rabbinic" and that tells far more than you can ever see on your side of the divide. Paul is one of Judaism's greatest sages.
