And they were justified in doing so for the following reasons:
Deut 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.
Deut 12:32 See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it.
Deut 18: 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”
Paul clearly subtracted from the Torah. He clearly was speaking presumptuously in G-ds name. He was to be put to death.
The Apostle Paul who you have so maligned, had nothing but the utmost concern for the spiritual well being and salvation of the Jews:
"I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.
For I could wish that I myself were ACCURSED, SEPARATED FROM CHRIST FOR THE SAKE OF MY BRETHREN, MY KINSMEN ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, WHO ARE ISRAELITES, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen." (Romans 9:1-5 NASB, Emphasis added)
"Brethren, my MY HEART'S DESIRE FOR THEM AND MY PRAYER TO GOD FOR THEM (i.e., the Israelites) is IS FOR THEIR SALVATION. For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.
For NOT KNOWING about GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS and seeking to establish THEIR OWN, THEY DID NOT SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.
For CHRIST is THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES." (Romans 10:1-4 NASB, Emphasis added )
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR SALVATION TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES, TO THE JEW FIRST and also to the Greek. P> For IN IT (i.e., the gospel of Christ)THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS REVEALED from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-17 NASB, Emphasis added)
The problem with the Jews seeking to arrest and kill the Apostle Paul is that they blindly rejected the good news regarding the Messiah which he was presenting to them and it is obvious from your recent posts that although you have in the past heard the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the son of David and the promised Messiah of Israel, you have up to the present time also rejected Him as your Messiah and savior as well. This is indeed tragic because Jesus clearly states:
"Therefore I said to you that YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS; for UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THAT I AM HE (i.e., the promised messiah), YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS.” (John 8:24 NASB, Emphasis added)
The good news is that it is not yet too late; God is still being merciful and gracious; offering you another opportunity to be reconciled to God by placing your faith in His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ before it is eternally too late.
As one who owes EVERYTHING in my spiritual life to the Jews (Every book in my Bible (save Luke and Acts) has come to me through Jewish authors inspired by the Holy Spirit of God to pen the Word of God; My Lord and Messiah, the one who alone has paid the terrible price for my sin and who bodily arose again from the dead, and who is coming again to establish His Messianic/Davidic kingdom centered in Jerusalem is also, in His humanity, a Jew as well.), I humbly beseech you to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ so that you may be saved.
