How False Was the Accusation that Paul Was Preaching Against Moses?

According to Acts 21:21, Paul was accused of teaching the Jews among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, to stop circumcising their children, and stop walking after the Jewish customs. I would like to know if anyone here agree that it was a false accusation.How False Was the Accusation that Paul Was Preaching Against Moses?
No, Paul was a male chauvinist homophobic idiot.

';Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus';


-- Thomas Jefferson





Paul was supposedly born and raised in the city of Tarsus, a region in SE Asia-Minor (now called Turkey) where Mithras was well known. Biblical scholars are now saying that Paul, the alleged author of 13 out of the 27 (maybe more) books of the New Testament, may have been influenced in his writings by this strong religion of Mithraism. We can see a profound kinship between Mithraism and Christianity.











In-as-much as Mithraism was so popular in Rome, it is no wonder why the pagan Emperor Constantine, who believed in the sun god, Mithras, designated a certain day of the week to him, Sunday, which means, “the day of the sun.”











The original ';Christian'; faith became a mix of pagan, Mithramic, Jeudeo/Christian teaching. This lead to the confusing mix of theology that we have today within the ';Christian'; community. This apostacy from the original simple and plain teachings of Christ was accelerated by the persecutions and killings of any who tried to support the ';old'; ways. Maybe this solves the mystery of the “ungodly” marriage between Mithraism and the cult of Jesus. As it turns out, it was all for political convenience! But, Christians think they are better than that today. In short: The ';Christianity'; they have today has almost no relationship, in doctrine or in way of life, to the ';the original teachings of Jesus.';











In my mind, there are two Jesus' teachings. Jesus the Jew and Jesus the Gentile, which by the way is really Paul's Jesus. And guess which one Christians follow? The ex-pagan Constantine liked Paul's Jesus over Jesus the Jew. Jesus and all the others upon whom this character is predicated are personifications of the sun, and the Gospel fable is merely a rehash of a mythological formula revolving around the movements of the sun through the heavens.





For instance, many of the world's crucified ';god-men'; have their traditional birthday on December 25. This is because the ancients recognized that (from an earth-centric perspective) the sun makes an annual descent southward until December 21 or 22, the winter solstice, when it stops moving southerly for three days and then starts to move northward again.





During this time, the ancients declared that ';God's sun'; had ';died'; for three days and was ';born again'; on December 25. The ancients realized quite abundantly that they needed the sun to return every day and that they would be in big trouble if the sun continued to move southward and did not stop and reverse its direction. Thus, these many different cultures celebrated the ';sun of God's'; birthday on December 25th.








I firmly believe Paul took the teachings of an Essene rabbi called Jesus and rearranged them to fit the Mithras mythology. There were many wannabe messiahs around the time of Jesus; the man who could establish a religion based on a ';real'; messiah would be a very powerful and respected man, which Paul apparently wanted to be.





The fact that Paul never met Jesus, and that Jesus never foretold Paul's appearance (unless it was included in his warning about deceivers that would fool ';the very elect';), should be proof that Paul had no authority in real Christianity.How False Was the Accusation that Paul Was Preaching Against Moses?
I don't. If Acts 21:21 was a false accusation,


why didn't Paul defend himself? Silence is no alibi. Reading a little further I had my suspicions ratified. James, misguidedly, suggests that Paul join four other men who had made a vow, and disguise himself in a rite of purification in the Temple, and behave as to make believe that he too abode by the Law.





It was a shame that James would suggest such a hypocritical behavior. For Paul, to go along with it was no surprise. He could be anything in any situation. This is no virtue though, if I may remind you. (I Cor. 9:19-23)





So, Paul proceeded with his deception. When it seemed that the seven days were about over, God decided not to let that mockery go unchecked. Some Jews who had come from Asia Minor recognized Paul


in the precincts of the Temple and provided his arrest. (Acts 21:22-27) Later, Paul himself came to the conclusion that God is not to mock. (Gal. 6:6)





You must know why he was arrested. Because he was preaching everywhere against the Law, as well as against the Sanctuary. (Acts 21:28) Whether you think that was a false accusation or not, that was the reason why he was arrested, and he knew it. However, when on trial before the Sanhedrin, he declared that he had been arrested because of his hope in the resurrection. (Acts 23:6) Now, I ask you: Was he telling the truth? I didn't think so.





Therefore, the above tells us a lot about Paul's character. And if you focus on his Letters to the churches, you will see that to preach against the Jewish customs was his moto throughout his life.
Moses was teaching the law application while Paul taught the grace application.





Christianity is grace application through Jesus Christ as Personal God.





Jesus said He did not come to abolish the law but to purify it to a higher level.
