That's because he followed Jesus and the "real" Jews then labeled him as fringe as they probably labeled the other Jewish NT writers. Jesus was himself Jewish as it gets.

There's a very good reason why the religious establishment would label an upstart cult as 'fringe'. I'll leave you to guess what it might be.

The reason to be 'woke' is so you don't get caught napping. But, no, that's not the answer.

According to Ron DeSantis' lawyers, woke means, 'The belief that there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.'
Sounds kinda, you know...reasonable.

Paul was never a pharisee. In fact, it's a pretty common suspicion that paul was never a jew at all - judging from his writing. You might be familiar with what paul did today as resume padding. OFC, we can't definitely and comprehensively lay that blaim on paul, as paul is a character as written, himself.
