For some reason the Messianic Jews despise Paul. They believe in the other Apostles, but reject Paul since he preaches salvation through faith and not through works, and also because of certain scriptures from him that state it is not necessary to follow the Jewish ritual law. Don’t know if there were any around here expressing that, though.

Hmmm, never really got that in my time in Israel with Messianic Believers. The impression I got was more inline with the Orthodox type of thought on the Noachide Laws, the 7 out of 10 commandments; cut down verison of the law for Gentiles. (Which I personally do not care for much as it is Law-lite, that I also do not see in the Scriptures) This Gentile loves Lobster, thank you very much... Its good to be Goy!

I’m confused by references to Paul as an apostle; Christ certainly had the chance to reach out to him while He was preaching, and never did (this was when Saul was abetting those persecuting Christians). Paul wasn’t at the Last Supper, and using any logic to include him with those chosen by Christ fuels those who want Mary Magdalene included as well.
