Summary/Abstract: The most important figure in the history of Christianity after death of Christ is Paul. His importance emerges from the role that he played in establishing Christianity as a separate religion different from Judaism. Paul proclaimed that Law of Jews (Torah) was abolished and the believers in Christ must act according to the new law, not to the old. The new law was an ethical code that was generated by Christ. There are same good and bad deeds/things and according to Paul, and the believers have the ability to choose good and bad deeds/things.
