I have covered Paul several times on this comic due to the common misunderstanding of him. I thought it would be a good idea to point out how people saying Paul is talking against doing the Torah are actually reading Paul out of context.

This first example is Paul in Acts 21. This is after Paul hears the council's decision on what to tell the Gentiles in Acts 15. This is after Paul visits the places he sends letters to: Thessalonica, Corinth, and Ephesus, as well as several other Roman cities.

Here in Acts 21, the council has heard that Paul was speaking against following Torah, but the council said they knew this wasn't true. (Anyone remember Stephen and what they falsely accused him of?) - To prove that Paul wasn't teaching against the Torah, they have Paul do a public ritual in the Torah. Paul doesn't argue. Paul doesn't say "no, you guys, it's all grace now. We just believe in Yeshua." Paul went and showed, as James put it, his faith BY his works.
