Paul, the misunderstood and misquoted Apostle!
Question: Why did Paul write so many letters?
You should be glad that he did; and that he was “a chosen vessel”!
Paul’s first vocation from the Risen Lord, was to the Jews, to explain what had happened when they Crucified their Messiah!
When at Acts 28:25–28, they rejected Him as Messiah; Paul was instructed to enact the prophecy of Isa.6:9–10; which is still in place for the Jews, until the stage of Zech.12:10!
When that happened, Paul became the Apostle to the Gentiles, and joined the Apostles of Jesus in their work; especially as he was uniquely qualified to explain the changes from the Old to the New Covenant!
So; the answer to your question is clear, he was as an ex. student of Gamaliel, uniquely qualified to the task!
In those writings, he gave the new positions of those in Christ Jesus; but unfortunately, the religious Groups in the world have made a mess of much of Paul’s information, for their own purposes!
