Jewish Accusations Against Paul - Acts 21

The Jews' Accusations of Paul

Now we reach a key verse in this story that is going to be pivotal for what we'll discuss here: Verse 21 of Acts 21:. This was reportedly the accusation that the Jews made against Paul.

Acts 21:21 but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.

Now its tempting for anyone coming at this verse from a traditional protestant perspective to say: "Aha! Paul's teaching the Jews to forsake Moses, the Old Testament laws are done away!"

So firstly we have to ask ourselves: did Paul teach the Jews "among the gentiles to forsake Moses" regarding circumcision or anything else?

After this we need to ask ourselves whether he taught them not to walk according to the customs or not?

In the predominantly Jewish New Testament church, why isn't any fuss recorded if most of the Old Testament laws were "done away" yet in Acts a small and predictable change to one "Old Testament" law about the circumcision of gentile proselytes caused massive turmoil? The Mosaic law - is it really "done away" in Galatians?
