There is no evidence whatsoever that Paul ever ceased from following Judaism. He preached Jesus as the fulfillment of the law, not the replacement of the law. There is a huge difference between the two.

Gotta run!!!

Some say that Jews were never ereleased from being Jews, that What Paul said to the Gentiles did not necesarily apply to the Jews.

Paul spoke of Jewish Christians that were still zealous for the law. I'm not sure that he condemned tha among Jews but was very direct in teaching that Gentiles that came to faith were in no way to be entangled in the Jewish customs and traditons.
