Approximately at 11:00 You ask how come Paul is saying don’t worry about circumcision, etc. You go on to say because The Romans and the Jews are not getting along together.
For me, it more likely that the Temple has already been destroyed: THAT’s when it doesn’t matter anymore. No Temple Judaism anymore AND no salvation from a super power, Rome ala Moses and Egypt, that is when it does not matter anymore.
You can deconstruct Christianity and Western Civilization but the Hindus are not deconstructing Hinduism and Muslims are not deconstructing Islam (even though it falls with the destruction of Christianity). The difference between deconstruction and destruction is semantic.
deconstruct: analyze (a text or a linguistic or conceptual system) by deconstruction, typically in order to expose its hidden internal assumptions and contradictions and subvert its apparent significance or unity.
subvert: undermine the power and authority of (an established system or institution).
I’m going to take away a means by which people have gotten over dangers, toils, and snares … “I want to be freeeeeeeeeeeeee.” How irresponsible. “I don’t care …” What a disregard for others.

So, Steefen, if I’ve understood your posts here, you do not think 1 Corinthians or Romans are authentic letters of Paul. Is that correct?
That would be incorrect. Given how soon you responded to the post, you have not watched the video to understand my reply to it. My point is not about the authenticity of the letters, it is about how the content is so appropriate to an audience undergoing the defeat of the Jewish Revolt and the defeat of Temple Judaism.

Some epistles of Paul deconstruct (a post-modernist concept, by the way) themselves.
I think of Romans (especially Chapter 8) that has turned out to be a friendly and unwanted shotof of Paul on the back of Christianity, for it is the origin of his biggest schisms (Protestantism, 1517; Calvinism, 1540), of his division into sects that accused each other of heretics, denominations (today, between 25,000 and 30,000!) and of the wars of religion (1524-1648).
