Paul vs The Way

A Critical Theological Analysis

📜 Paul is wrong because he taught that the Torah is dead

Not because he rejected the Temple. He replaced YHWH's eternal commands with "faith alone" and Greek spiritualism.

Before Paul, there was "The Way" (HaDerekh) — the original Torah-observant path walked by Yeshua's disciples. Paul didn't restore The Way — he replaced it with a Greek-Roman reinterpretation.

Examine the Evidence

The Way vs Paul's Teaching

Compare the original Torah-observant path with Paul's radical departure from Hebrew covenant practices.

📜 The Way (HaDerekh)

The Original Hebrew Path

Mentioned in Acts 9:2 and Acts 24:14

✅ Kept the Sabbath — Honored YHWH's seventh day
✅ Honored the Feasts — Celebrated YHWH's appointed times
✅ Practiced Circumcision — Maintained covenant sign
✅ Obeyed YHWH's Commandments — As Yeshua did
✅ Followed YHWH — Not a man as god
✅ Believed Yeshua was a Messenger — Not deity
✅ Walked the Torah Path — Continued Hebrew covenant

❌ Paul's Teaching

Greek-Roman Replacement

A new religion, not The Way

❌ The Torah is Dead — Romans 7:6
❌ Obedience Doesn't Save — Only belief (Romans 3:28)
❌ No Longer Under Law — Galatians 3:24-25
❌ Saved by Grace — Not obedience
❌ Circumcision Doesn't Matter — Physical law ended
❌ Sabbaths Optional — Colossians 2:16
❌ "New Man" Identity — Ephesians 2:15

Paul's Invented Religion

Paul created his own religion that follows neither the Hebrew bible (like Yeshua) nor even the Greek bible he was raised on. This is separate from 4 other false religious systems of his time.

🏛️

Born in Tarsus

A Roman-Greek city filled with Stoic philosophy and pagan syncretism (Strabo, Geography 14.5.13). This environment shaped his theological framework.

🧠

Greek Education

Greek was his native language. He thought in Greek categories like "conscience" (syneidesis) and "flesh vs spirit" — foreign to Hebrew thought.

📚

Raised on Greek Bible

Paul was raised on the 250 BC Greek Septuagint, but his teachings don't even match that. He created his own religion that follows neither Hebrew nor Greek sources.

❌

Avoided Temple System

Paul correctly avoided the corrupt Temple religion (Aramaic bible from Babylon). But instead of returning to Hebrew truth, he invented his own system.

🔮

Created New Religion

Paul's teachings match neither the Hebrew bible (like Yeshua) nor the Greek bible he was raised on. He invented something entirely new.

🌍

Four False Religions

Paul's religion, Temple system (Babylon Aramaic), Northern Jews (Greek + Egyptian paganism), Romans (Roman gods) — none follow the Hebrew bible.

Five Different Religious Systems

Paul's era had multiple competing religious systems — none following the original Hebrew bible except Yeshua's way.

Religious System	Source Text	Key Characteristics
✅ Yeshua's Way	Hebrew Bible	Torah observance, YHWH's commandments, original covenant path
❌ Paul's Religion	His Own Invention	Matches neither Hebrew nor Greek sources, "grace alone," Torah dead
❌ Temple System	Aramaic Bible (Babylon)	False rewritten texts, corrupt priesthood, religious ritual system
❌ Northern Jews	Greek Bible + Egyptian Paganism	250 BC Septuagint mixed with pagan gods from Egypt
❌ Romans	Roman Religious Texts	Roman gods, emperor worship, imperial cult practices

Six Times They Created a New Religion

Trace how the original Hebrew Way was systematically replaced through six major transformations.

#	Event	What Changed
1	Septuagint (250 BC)	Replaced Hebrew concepts with Greek philosophy. Removed YHWH's Name, turned justice into "righteousness."
2	Paul (30s–60s AD)	Preached "grace alone," rejected Torah. Replaced obedience with belief, covenant with spiritualized religion.
3	Constantine (325 AD)	Merged Paul, Rome, and paganism into the Catholic Church. Made Christianity the empire's religion.
4	Rabbinic Judaism (400–600 AD)	Added oral law, vowels, and fences around Torah. Created Talmudic system separate from biblical text.
5	Islam (610–632 AD)	Claimed Abraham's faith but rewrote the covenant. New prophet, new book, new practices.
6	Protestant Reformation (1517+)	Broke from Catholicism but kept Paul and Greek Bible. Reformed error instead of returning to Hebrew roots.

The Truth About Yeshua's Mission

Yeshua (Jesus) came to call Israel back to obedience — not start a new religion.

📜

He Kept Torah

Yeshua observed Sabbath, feasts, and commandments. He never taught "faith alone" or "grace over obedience."

🔄

He Taught Repentance

Called people to turn from sin back to YHWH's ways. Repentance means returning to Torah obedience.

🙏

He Honored YHWH's Name

Never claimed equality with YHWH. Always pointed to the Father as the one true God of Israel.

🛤️

He Taught "The Way"

His followers were called "The Way" — not Christians. They continued Torah observance after his departure.

⚠️ Final Warning

Paul's gospel is not Hebrew — it's Greek.
It's not obedience — it's excuse.
It's not from YHWH — it's a lie built for empires.

Return to The Way — the original Torah-observant path that Yeshua himself walked and taught.
