Jesus, being God, does not intend anything. Everything He wants He does. Paul was the opposite of the modern idea of "legalistic". Read about it in Acts Fifteen. If he was so legalistic he would not have agreed with the idea of forgetting circumcision and going only with abstaining from fornication, abstaining from blood, abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, and from things strangled.
