Paul was a Jew and as all Jews do when they pray they use the Tallit or prayer shawl during services at the temple and i assume this is the way Paul prayed in the Synagogue I did the same for 20 years following Judiasm This must have been a revelation to Paul now having Moshiach Messiah been revealed as head of the Church Jesus Christ the Messiah is our Covering What about the going into the closet that is using the prayer shawl in prayer If there is a Messianic Rabbi out there that can explain this deviation from the faith of the Hebrews

Come on, really? The truth is exactly the opposite. Head of people approaching the Holiness OUGHT to be covered continually: Leviticus 10:6, 21:10 and Ezekiel 24:17. People are seriously warned to pay their best possible attention and to take the best possible care with interpreting the Law and God's will. According to that warning, this so-called apostle Paul is a creature from the deepest Hell: he turned upside down everything he ever could. Matthew 5:19.
