Paul exists only in the hallucination of apologists like Ehrman. The epistles are late (post-marcionite Roman Catholic) piecemeal.

Mk is more leading anti-Marcionite than Mt.

Paul employs the same strategy as Mark does: fusing Chrestianity with the Tanakh in order to turn the anti-Judaism into pro-Judaism.
And where Mark has his Jesus do all kinds of fake Judaic things and fulfill all kinds of fake Judaic procedures, Paul has his Paul (sic) address an imaginary Judaism audience in Romans that he tries to convince of the "fact" that the gentile Chrestianity with its unorthodox view on circumcision, food laws, Sabbath and everything else actually is very Judaic (LOL)

But somehow people not merely want to see a Jew in Paul, but they desperately need to.
Whereas Paul naturally is the epitome of Roman rhetoric, exactly like the falsifying fathers
