Sinopsis
In this teaching series, we will be learning about the Apostle Paul: his life, his ministry, his teachings and his letters. In looking at his letters, we are going to see what he taught about Yeshua and what he taught about the Hebrew scriptures, (or the Torah). In Paul’s teaching and writings, we want see if he taught for or against the Torah. In this session, we will look at the background of Paul himself. Paul was born a Jew from the tribe of Benjamin. He studied the Pharisaic perspective of Torah in Jerusalem from his teacher Gamaliel who was the grandson of Hillel. The school of Hillel was one of the primary sects of the Pharisees. Paul was taught from the Pharisees that the proper way to follow the Torah was to follow the decrees and rulings of the rabbis. The rabbinical decrees and rulings are called the 'oral torah' or the 'tradition of the elders.' The rabbis put following the 'oral law' above the written torah. Initially, Paul persecuted believers in Yeshua who he viewed as heretics of the Torah.
