" he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings," -Acts 9
Self-appointed?
Did Paul follow the Laws of Moses as Yashu'a did ?
First, I would like to point out that Acts was not written by Paul and this has problems. In order to do a credible study on Paul, his genuine letters must be observed.
Paul does state that he followed the Law. Never does he tell Jews not to follow it, nor does he ever state that he stopped following it.
Is not the Bible considered scripture? If so, then the letters that I speak of are in fact scripture. At least they are held to be scripture, and have been, by a vast majority of Christianity.With all do respect letters are not scriptures , The letter you speak of were sent to diffrent churchs . What laws did Paul follow according to the Bible ?
I think a bigger question would be what entitled Luke to write a Gospel other than being Saul's greatest fan.
By the scripture Paul was not self appointed.
Road to Damascus ring any bells?According to scriptures he wasn't call by God nor Yashu'a !

As for what Laws did Paul follow according to the Bible; in Philippians, Paul states that he followed the Law, as a whole. Acts also states that Paul was a Pharisee, which implies that he followed the Law as laid down in the Torah. There was no reason for Paul, nor other authors to list the Laws in which Paul followed as him being a Pharisee implies that he was a follower of the Torah, and the Law.

But according to Acts 5 & 6 in the scriptures Paul was directed by the Lord.
And Luke wrote Acts......AND........was not on the road with Saul........So basically Luke wrote what Paul told him to write.......Right?The Gospel according to Luke 1 ; 1- 4 , Where It States ; Forasmuch as many have taken in hand ( To Set Forth In Order ) a declaration of those things ( Which Are Most Surely Believed ) among us . Verse 2 . Even as they delivered them unto us , which from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ( Ministers ) of the ( Word ) . Verse 3 . It seemed good to me also having had perfect understanding of all things ( From The Very First ) to write unto thee in order most excellent Theophilus . Verse 4 . That thou mightest know the certainty of those things wherein thou hast been instructed < King James ( Hebrew - Greek ) Word Study Bible .
According to the above verse Luke was doing his own thing , He wasn't call by call either ..
Without all the ''Hadiyth'' meaning words of men and not of God , According to the Scriptures meaning Chapter and Verse what Laws did Paul follow ??
I think you missed what I was saying. If you want to have a discussion, you must open yourself a bit.
Acts 24:14 states that Paul believes everything in the books of the Law (Torah), and the Prophets.
Romans (which Paul wrote) 7:25, states that he followed the Law.
Romans 2:21 says that those who break the Law dishonor God
Philippians 3:6 states that Paul was blameless according to the Law, which meant that Paul followed it totally.
Also, scripture says that Paul was called by God, and Jesus. Galatians 2:12 states that he received his message from Jesus. Galatians 2:15 states that God had set him apart, and gave him a calling.
Acts 9:1-15 states that Jesus sent Paul to preach to the Gentiles.
Acts 26:15 makes this even more clear, that Jesus called upon Paul.
And Luke wrote Acts......AND........was not on the road with Saul........So basically Luke wrote what Paul told him to write.......Right?
