Paul was never a follower of Jesus and did not know Jesus before - TopicsExpress



          

Paul was never a follower of Jesus and did not know Jesus before his crucifixion. Instead, he severely persecuted the early Christians. Although Paul refers to himself as an Apostle of Jesus, it is clear that Paul was not one of The Twelve apostles.[1 Cor. 9:1-2] Pauls conversion occurred after Jesus crucifixion. The accounts of Pauls conversion experience describe it as miraculous, supernatural, or otherwise revelatory in nature.Before his conversion, Paul, then known as Saul, was a zealous Pharisee who intensely persecuted the followers of Jesus. The book of Acts records that Paul was on his way from Jerusalem for Syrian Damascus to arrest followers of Jesus, with the intention of returning them to Jerusalem as prisoners for questioning and possible execution. The journey is interrupted when Paul sees a blinding light, and communicates directly with a divine voice.
