What I am saying is that Paul was determined to teach that the law was no longer required. Yet, we see where the disciples were upset that he did so, and wanted him to take a vow to show there was no truth in this. Acts said he did so. Can't believe he would have done that. Whether it was a Nazerite vow or other is beside the point.I'm confused about what you're saying. Are you saying that Paul would never have taken a Nazarite vow, a vow of separation to God as detailed in Numbers 6? This Nazarite vow - which obviously the men James referred to had taken - were to shave their heads and offer A SACRIFICE (which Paul was paying for) I know some think that sacrifices are ALL totally fulfilled in Christ, but there were other sacrifices unrelated to Jesus' death, like this one. 30 years after Jesus' ascension Paul is paying for this vow animal sacrifice. Food for thought...
