As per Lulav... This is the thread that this post needs to be in.
Did Paul personally practice and publicly Teach the Law of Moses after his shift away from the Rabbinical Oral Laws of the Pharisees to an acceptance of Yeshua as the Messiah?
Let us take a look at Paul's writings to see if there is an answer to this question!
We know that Paul participated in what is called a Nazarite Vow in the Temple of Jerusalem in Acts 21:23-24 and Acts 18:18
The Nazarite Vow is based on Torah Numbers 6:13-21.
We know that Paul observed the Holy Shabbat and in fact taught many people on Shabbat in Acts 13:42 and Acts 17:2 and Acts 18:4. The Shabbat is based on Torah Deuteronomy 5:12-15.
We know that Paul kept the Feast of Passover in 1 Corinthians 5:8 from Torah Deuteronomy 16:1-8.
We know that Paul kept the Festival of Shavuot (Pentecost) in Jerusalem in Acts 20:16!
We know Paul believed in the Words of the Prophets in Ephesians 4:25 - Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth to his neighbor: for we are members one of another! Paul was quoting Prophet Zechariah 8:16 - These are the things that you shall do; speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates!
We know Paul tried to imitate Yeshua and required his followers to do the same! Yeshua was a Torah Keeper! 1 Corinthians 11:1 - Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Messiah!
We know that Paul believed in the teachings of the Proverbs in Ephesians 6:1 - Children, obey your parents in God: for this is right. - From Proverbs 6:20 - My son, keep thy fathers commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother. Proverbs 23:22 - Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
We know that Paul believed in observing the Ten Commandments that were given to Moses at Mount Sinai in Ephesians 6:2 - Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with a promise.
We know that Paul called the Law of God, sound teaching! 1 Timothy 1:8-11 - but we know that the Law is good, if a man use it Lawfully.
We know that Paul told some of his followers to be present for the public readings of the Torah and to listen to its words in 1 Timothy 4:13 - Til I come, give attendance to Reading, to Exhortation, to Doctrine! .... and the only scripture they had to exhort from, read, and to gather doctrine from was the Old Testament.
We know that Paul believed in the Torah's teaching that we must not cheat each other out of the work we do to earn out wages in 1 Timothy 5:18 - For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his reward. This is from Torah Deuteronomy 25:4 - Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
We know that Paul called the teachings of the Torah teacher Yeshua, sound words, and that if anyone teaches a different doctrine other than what Yeshua taught, that he is conceded and understands nothing. We know that Yeshua taught, the Written Torah! - 1 Timothy 6:3 - If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of Yeshua the Messiah, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness.
We know that Paul referred to Moses and his Teachings as Truth in 2 Timothy 3:8 - Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the Truth: mean of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith!
We know that Paul called the Torah, sound doctrine in 2 Timothy 4:3 - For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears! (as he also supported this in 1 Timothy 1:8-11)
We know that Paul called the Torah, the Word of Truth in 2 Timothy 2:15 - Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth!
We know that Paul called the Tanach Sacred Writings, and that they contain wisdom for every aspect for everyday life in 2 Timothy 3:16 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness!
We know that Paul excepted the teachings of the Torah in regards to its instructions against Idolatry and the worship of mere men in Acts 14:12-18 - And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the Apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, and saying , sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
Nevertheless, He left not himself without witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness! And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them! Deuteronomy 32:21 - They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not god; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. And From Jeremiah 8:19 - Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not God in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? And from Jeremiah 14:22 - Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou He, O God our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
We know that Paul believed in and taught the Torah Laws regarding consuming blood in Acts 15:29 - That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. ~ (from Torah Leviticus 17:10 - And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of Blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people and Leviticus 17:13 - And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the Blood thereof, and cover it with dust.)
We know that Paul taught against lewdness and fornication from Leviticus chapter 18 in 1 Corinthians 6:18 - Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
We know Paul taught the Kashrut or Kosher Laws according to Leviticus chapter 11 concerning the clean and unclean in I Timothy 4:1-5, where Paul tells Timothy that "in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." One mark of these deluded apostates is "commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by those who know the truth." Paul continues: "For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer." ~ (The Context was those meats God had created to be received as food, not just any meats!)
We know that Paul had false accusers saying that he was breaking the Torah and violating the words of the prophet Ezekiel 44:7 - In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations, in Acts 21:27-28 - And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
We know that Paul believed in the Torah and in its teaching regarding honor due to the Kohanim in Acts 23:5 - Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. ~ (From Torah Exodus 22: 28)
We know that Paul believed and trusted in the authority and validity of all the Written Torah commandments and the prophets in Acts 24:14 - But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are Written in the Law and in the Prophets!
We know the Paul Believed that the Written Torah Commandments had to be upheld, maintained and established in Romans 3:31 - Do we then make void the Law through Faith? God Forbid; Yea, we establish the Law! (Paul even used the greek word "histémi," strongs 2476 - to make to stand, to stand)
We know that Paul accepted the Decalogue of God and its commandments against adultery, murder, stealing, coveting, and the Law of Leviticus 19:18 that sums up the Torah as loving your neighbor as yourself in Romans 13:8-9 - Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
We know that Paul called the Writings of the Prophets Scripture, and that this scripture was able to lead the gentiles or the nations into obedience and trusting faith in God in Romans 16:25-27 - Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Yeshua the Messiah, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting Father, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Yeshua Messiah forever. Amen.
We know that Paul called the writings of the Prophet Isaiah the Law and he accepted his teaching in 1 Corinthians 14:21 - In the Law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith God. Taken from Isaiah 28:11 - For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
We know that Paul believed that we must try to be separate, holy and walk in purity, and the only way to accomplish this is through observance of that which is written in the Law of Moses as he pointed out in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15) And what concord hath Messiah with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith God, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Almighty. 2 Corinthians 7:1- Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (Paul also Taught that the message of Yeshua was one and the same as the authority of the written Torah!)
We also know that Paul applied the Law in 2 Corinthians 13:1 - This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. ~ (from Torah Deuteronomy 19:15 - One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
It would appear from this comprehensive intensive study in the life and Teachings of Paul the Apostle that He was a Teacher of, and Believer in, all that was Written in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings!
It also appears that Paul's views line up perfectly with the overall structure of scriptural Truth that has been passed down to all future generations of Israelites! In other words, taking in account this entire study from Moses to the Prophets and the Writings, to Yeshua's words, to the written documents of Yeshua's talmidim (disciples) including John, and Yeshua's own brother James and his letter!
It is obvious that Paul was teaching his followers to believe in what we call today, the Tanach, The Torah, The Prophets, and the Writings! It also appears from Paul himself that he could never deny that Yeshua was the full embodiment of these eternal words according to 1 Corinthians 12:3- Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Yeshua accursed: and that no man can say that Yeshua is the Messiah, but by the Holy Spirit. And Hebrews 1:2 - Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds!

Excellent information. When we get to the misunderstood phrases, this would be an excellent aid to clarifying Paul's real meaning.
I've done nothing to be forgiven from you. I was only trying to help you. If you had been here in the past few months you would understand why this thread has been posted and that it is only for discussing (right now) the pro torah statements in Romans.
