The Argument from Incredulity is a logical fallacy, not a logically valid argument, Huggy:

"If X is true then how come Y makes no sense to me?" is not a valid argument.
No, it makes perfect sense if Paul is speaking of his ethnic background, not his religious one.
Quote:Galatians 2
15 We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles
16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
