The role of Paul:
Occasionally there is someone that says that Paul is just a Pharisee who is out to subvert Christianity and scam the Christian, who added to the bible and subverted Christs meaning. However I see there something different though.
So, who was Paul? Paul was a Pharisee, one of the biggest and vile opposition that Jesus had. He is known to have hunt christians down, and sentence them to death. He did continue to do so untile he received a revelation and joined became an Apostle of Jesus. Now this revelataion is claimed to have been a lie to reasonably explain the conversion and infiltrate the christians and subvert them, however it the voice was heard by others around Paul too and if nothing else the other followers of Jesus just accepting his explanation at the very least comfirms that they themselves believed in their story that they preach about Jesus or they would never have believed Pauls Vision. Also we shall recognize them by the fruit, so what did Paul do specifically?
Paul approached the teachings of Christ from a legalistic standpoint much in the manner of a Pharisee. Where the Pharisee were obsessed with the written word, and interpret it with loopholes, grey areas, semantics, pilpul etc. to twist the law around as you want, much like a lawyer interprets the law in court.
Now however, instead of twisting the law around and attack Jesus, he used it to lay out how the teachings of Jesus are in line with the law. He made a legalistic case for Jesus in the manner of the Pharisee, to defend him from the phariseeic attacks. He didnt change or add to it, rather expanded on the teachings to show that they are in line with the law.
