Faithfulness, Not Heresy
Commentators stress that Paul's core defense is that his faith is not a new, heretical religion. He argues that following "the Way" (Christianity) is the true fulfillment of Judaism. He worships the same God of their fathers and fully believes the Law and the Prophets, demonstrating continuity with Israel's faith, not a departure from it.
