Do you think I’ll get accused of cherry picking verses out of context?

That’s OK. If they doubt Paul, nothing surprises me.

I’ve always been dumbfounded that anybody with any intellect can be so intellectually dishonest as to claim Paul didn’t understand Judaism. Both his parents were Jewish and his father a Pharisee, labeled a Hebrew of Hebrews and endorsed by the Chief Priest with authority to go out and persecute Christians based upon his firm grasp of Judaism, Saul of Tarsus was the quintessential Hebrew scholar.

52% of the New Testament books were written / attributed to him. If somebody has problems with Paul, they have much larger problems elsewhere.
