Some Jews I know see him same way they "see" Jesus as rabi. Besides, within me, it seems foolish giving A MAN additional information not given to Jesus. Will I give particular protagonism to an adopted child than MY FIRST BORN or those I shared my own blood?
Just to think! But I have largely seen Paul as an add on to the Gospel of the Scripture I believe (send me wherever you think of, but Jesus is enough for me).

The Hebrew Roots movement began emerging as a distinct phenomenon in the mid-1990s (1993–96).[4] In 1997, Dean Cozzens of Open Church Ministries (Colorado Springs, CO) published a prophecy titled "The Hebrew Movement", which revealed that God had foreordained four major moves for the 20th century, Pentecostalism, Faith-healing, the Charismatic Movement and finally the Hebrew Roots Movement. In this prophecy, the Hebrew Roots Movement is the "final stage of empowerment" before Christ returns. Several Hebrew Roots ministries are now preferring to use the term Awakening instead of the term "movement" which has been used widely since the 1960s to define political oriented movements.[4]
The movement / Awakening has accelerated in the last few years,[8] mainly because of a shift within the Messianic Judaism community. The Hebrew Roots movement and a few groups in Messianic Judaism diverge on the issue of One Law theology (one law for the native born and the sojourner, c.f. Numbers 15:16)[9] which Hebrew Roots subscribes to, but which some groups in Messianic Judaism denies. One Hebrew Roots teacher, Tim Hegg, responded to this issue by defending what he believes to be the biblical teaching of "One Law" theology and its implications concerning the obligations of Torah obedience for new Messianic believers from the nations.[10] The Two-House and One Law differences have affected musicians who are welcomed by Hebrew Roots fellowships notwithstanding their beliefs: "...many Messianic Jewish artists who are heavily influenced by organizations like the MJAA and UMJC have been told by their leadership that if they ever appear at a MIA event they will not be able to play with them again".[11]
Theology
Salvation derives from the belief in Yeshua the Messiah as personal savior, not from commandment/Torah keeping; however, believers are rewarded according to their fruits, works, and obedience. Hebrew Roots followers believe that sin is breaking the written Torah (cf. 1 John 3:4), all of the purity laws such as dietary restrictions and sabbath keeping are in the written Torah, thus it is sin to not keep sabbath and to eat forbidden animals, among other social and religious observance laws. It is also true, according to Hebrew Roots followers, that those who are truly born of God will not continue in sin (cf. 1John 3:9), therefore, if you are not moved to keep sabbath or keep dietary restrictions, you must not truly be born of God.

I'll just post one or two verse then im out :
1 Corinthians 1:17
King James Version (KJV)
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
This is one, one, verse out of the entire Bible, taken out of its subject .
How dose some one then conclude , oh well, this must mean hes not a apostle or Christian. ...
What can be learned from this one, verse alone, is that Paul is laying it right on the line; he is saying Christ did not send me out to baptize anyone, not to be some great orator to reveal my great speaking skills.
The only thing that mattered to Paul is that those that heard the Word of God understood God's Word, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
Paul says I am a little bit on the crude side, and I didn't come to you with eloquent speech, but I came to open your eyes to the truth.
I Corinthians 1:18 "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us that are saved it is the power of God."
Paul is reminding people in Corinth and to us today, that if you think the preaching of the cross is foolishness, then you are going to perish in hell fire... So lets keep with the subject, and be aware of who Paul is taking to and what about.
2 Peter 3:15
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
Read Acts 9:. Also not written by Paul . Good night everyone.

Smiling! I am not as savvy as some here when it comes to the format & getting around in this website, pls have patience when directing responses to me, thx.
@ Old Hermit, um, no, no problem with either.
In addition to my original post, according to Scripture, we'll just look at Acts 1, after recently being instructed some 40 days by the risen Lord, speaking of things pertaining to the kingdom of God, Peter stood up to address the replacement of Judas, there are a couple verses, 21 & 22, we can read of some of the requirements to take part in the ministry of the little flock, to the bride of Christ.
There is a reason for the terms, bride of Christ and the one new man. God is not the God of confusion, we all agree I'm sure. Scripture is not meant to be harmonized, but rightly divided, so that we may know some things about who we are in Christ and what God is doing in accordance with our position, calling, vocation, inheritance.
We never read about the new man in the four gospels of Christ's earthly ministry and we certainly never read about a kingdom of priests in Paul's epistles, there is a distinction for a reason, "the mystery of his will" (Eph 1:9). It's about realms & dominions, principalities & powers, a plan of glory. " wisdom which none of the princes of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory."
