What is the gospel of Paul?

In my candid opinion, aside Jesus Christ the greatest person that ever walked on the surface of the earth was apostle Paul. Let me give you a brief history about him, he was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, as to the law, he was a Pharisee (Philippians 3; 5). However, he was very legalistic and he thought the teachings of the Christians about Jesus Christ was in contradiction to the law. He hated the "people of the way" with passion to the extent that with the consent of the religious leaders, he went about persecuting and arresting them. He continued with his persecution of the Church until that faithful day he had an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ on his way to Damascus, and that encounter led to his conversion, see (Acts 9 ).

Are Christians under the ten commandments?

This question is probably one of the most debated doctrine in Christianity.

But we have others who also expresses an opposite view, they believe keeping the ten commandments is a legitimate requirement for everyone. I will by the grace of God examine the matter at hand biblically, so that a clear understanding will be established. Can I obtain salvation by keeping the ten commandments? Beloved brethren, Paul wrote down this scripture by the Spirit saying: Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her...
