THEOLOGY OF PAUL

The majority view of classical rabbis was that the commandments will still be applicable and in force during the
messianic era. However, a significant minority of rabbis held that most of the commandments will be nullified by,
or in, the messianic era. It is this conflict that is reflected in the two groups of Early Christianity.
Jews use the Tallit (Prayer Shawl) with its Tassels (Tzitzit) to remind them that they are under the Law. 613 laws
are represented in the Tassels.
The Mitzvah of Tzitzit
"Speak to the Children of Israel and say to them that they shall make themselves tzitzit on the corners of their
garments, throughout their generations and they shall place upon the tzitzit of each corner a thread of blue wool.
These shall be your tzitzit, and when you see them, you shall remember all of God’s commandments so as to keep
them. You will then not stray after your heart and eyes after which have lead you to immorality. You will thus
remember and keep all My commandments, and be holy to your God." Numbers 15:38-40
