The kernel of what I believed

Acts 23:6-10
Paul found there were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin,"My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee, I stand on trial because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead." When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
Paul does not hesitate to play one party against another in the Council, by stating that he is on trial for his belief in the resurrection of the dead. Again the Roman troops remove him to the safety of the fort.
Why?
Paul turned the issue to the kernel of the problem. Which is not only enter the Temple with the Gentile but Jesus Christ is raised from the dead. It is the hope in the resurrection of the dead.
It cause two party had dispute about this issue. So that Paul may be remove out from them.
Paul does not care about safety his own, he did not talk about he did not bring Gentiles into the Temple. But Paul talk about the kernel about what he believed.
Jesus is the Lord, he raised from the dead and his blood has erased my sin when I trusted in Him. He will come again to the world.
How?
Pray to the Lord that let me remember the kernel of what I believed.
