Paul preached in the time after Jesus. He believed that new Christians who had been Jews had to follow and practice Jewish customs
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Paul preached in the time after Jesus, but he did not believe that new Christians who had been Jews had to follow and practice Jewish customs. In fact, Paul argued that faith in Jesus was enough for salvation and that Gentile converts did not need to adhere to Jewish laws and rituals. This was a major point of contention between Paul and other early Christian leaders, but eventually his teachings became widely accepted and helped shape the development of Christianity.
