Why Paul Shaved His Head

from Sergio DeSoto The Counterintuitive Podcast Hosted by Sergio DeSoto

Why did Paul shave his head? Why did the apostles demand that he publicly demonstrate his Torah faithfulness? And how did the King James Version — followed by modern translations — rewrite the story so Gentiles believe obedience is optional? In this episode, we walk through: The Nazirite vow Paul actually took Why Acts 21 destroys the “Paul rejected Torah” myth How English translations muted the Torah language Why the four-laws-only doctrine in Acts 15 is mistranslated How the Greek text expects Gentiles to learn Moses every Sabbath And how a mistranslated Bible reshaped an entire religion This is not polemic. It’s textual honesty. It’s covenant clarity. And it’s long overdue. This is a public episode.
