Paul was one of the first delegates to oppose the elders of the church in Jerusalem, and the observance of the Mosaic Law, as long as it did not interfere with the liberty of the Gentiles. Paul believed that salvation is available to all humanity, and salvation was won by Christ’s death and resurrection and given as a pure gift, along with many other things.

And all these books or religions always have a place of worship, this is where you preside and congregate with your fellow brothers and sisters and listen to the word or God, and in many cases you will always have someone as a vessel explaining the message to you.
