Thanks for your kind words, even if overstated. I have a different take on Paul. I think there is very good evidence that he was a Torah-observant Jew, who only objected to imposing circumcision and torah observance (kosher, etc.) on Gentile Jesus followers. So I would nuance your remarks on law-keeping. I think for the Jewish people, including Jesus, Paul and the many Torah observant Jews in the early church (3000 Pharisees in the Jerusalem church, according to Acts) Torah observance was an expression of and response to grace.
