Also, Paul did not teach that the Torah was a "school master." He taught that Jesus was the Word of God, and so he was, quite literally, the Torah. Anything that Jesus taught was therefore the purest Torah.
You're correct that Paul taught that the universe was created for the Torah, it's just that the Torah is Jesus.
As I said, we are at cross purposes. If memory serves me correctly, I said something like "that's what Paul taught." You assumed I was referring to the claim that the universe was created for Israel and Torah, when I was actually referring to was the assertion that Torah is a mere "schoolmaster" to lead people to Chr*st. That is what I meant when I said "that's what Paul taught."
The whole point of my post is to contrast the authentic Jewish understanding with that of Paul and chr*stianity. I'm sorry if that didn't come across very well.
Company has now left and I'm trying to work on my answer to this whole thread, though I'm having to rewrite most of it from scratch, and it never turns out as good after that. Oh well. I'll do my best!
Please be patient.
