Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saint Paul's departure from the Jewish religion involved a shift in focus from the traditional Jewish practices, such as circumcision and adherence to the Mosaic Law, to the doctrine of a risen savior. This view became central in the formation of early Christian teachings. Saint Paul still believed in monotheism and placed value on Hebrew Scriptures, but emphasized the importance of faith in Jesus as the Christ. He did not promote the idea of a Christian taking an oath of loyalty to the Emperor, as this would have conflicted with the belief in Jesus as the ultimate authority.
