Paul's legitimacy as an apostle — Mike answers a claim that Paul was not a true Jew and therefore untrustworthy

I've Been Looking Into The Hebrew Roots Movement and Here's What I've Found So Far 01:12:38 – 01:13:42

Q&A: a viewer's sister and brother-in-law argue that Paul was not a true Jew and deceived his audience; they use this to reject his letters.

Mike points to multiple grounds for Paul's legitimacy: (1) The other apostles (Peter and the Jerusalem council in Acts) laid hands on Paul, affirming his apostleship. (2) The Holy Spirit would not allow 13 apostate letters to be mixed into the canon. He argues that wanting Christianity without Paul is a sign of serious theological error, not careful scholarship.
