to have one criterion for Jews

That too.

My words are quite clear on Paul’s status. He was a converted Jew. He practiced Christianity. He no longer followed the Law of Moses as did the Pharisees and Sadducees. That is quite clear from his writings in Romans and Galatians if you will take the time to read them.

Jesus was a Jew right? A Rabbi even.. so did he stop being a Jew?

Paul was acquitted because they were not able to find him guilty. Had they found him guilty, they would have told his Roman captors that HE HAD BROKEN THE LAW and DESERVED DEATH.

Heb 10:28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.

It is very clear if you read the last few chapters of Acts. If you dont know anything about Judaism, its easy to make ignorant judgements without knowing any better.

Paul did not sit down and write 'THE BIBLE'. He wrote letters to specific congregations about specific issues. His letters were then collected and kept as 'scripture'. Do you know who exactly he is writing to and what the issues were that he is writing about? Perhaps you dont know it, but there was a lot of controversy about whether believers in Christ had to become legally Jewish to be saved. This chapter in Galatians speaks of this and it also speaks of the purpose of the Law.
Romans 10 is obviously speaking of Salvation

9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
