I think Paul's letters were designed a certain way

Based off of Deuteronomy 13:1-5 and Matthew 5:19.

If Paul tried to turn away anyone from Torah, though he did many miracles and wonders, he would be a false prophet. Yahweh said in Deuteronomy 13:3 that he uses prophets to test his people.

In Matthew 5:19, Yahshua said whoever broke even the least commandments and taught others to do so would be least in the kingdom of heaven. Paul would seem to certainly qualify for this, since many people believe he did just that.

It would seem that to do otherwise - whether it be Paul or 'Joe Blow' - would be merely giving lip service to God. The word 'commitment' sure is a dirty word to many present-day Christians. The word 'obedience' will all too often elicit responses such as "huh" ...what? ... you mean to say that something is expected of US ...?"
 
^^Ain't that the truth.

Too many times I've basically gotten this notion: "j00 meen i kant liek, just sit aNd tink oF GEEzus And get aLL tingly insyde at chirch??"
