why did Paul turned to a greek missionary from greek persecutor ? what made him converted?

Answer 1

Saul turned because Christ (dead at this time) allowed him to "peel away the blinders from his eyes" so that he could see the truth of God's incoming Kingdom. In other words, although he was responsible for the deaths of some christians and was very feared by them, God and Jesus recognized that in his heart, he was truly a good man and allowed him the gift of the Holy Spirit to "see the truth of God's Kingdom" and then MAKE UP HIS OWN MIND whether to serve God or reject him on his own merit. They didn't just "turn him" but showed him the truth and gave him a choice. However, when someone with a good heart is shown the truth, they're truly rarely a choice for them to do what is right : ))

That's why when he went to the congregation of christians with offers of help, they were terrified of him and feared a "set up" of some kind, only with a show of love and time did they learn to love him back as one of their elders and treat him as a worthy man of God.

Answer 2

When the Lord calls people in that manner they have a huge decision to make and it is all or nothing. In Paul's case he chose to follow the Lords teachings with his whole heart. He knew after he was visited by the lord that it was all true he could no longer deny. I feel the same way now after my conversion.

(Act 9:1) But Saul, still burning with desire to put to death the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

(Act 9:2) And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

(Act 9:3) And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;

(Act 9:4) And he went down on the earth, and a voice said to him, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?

(Act 9:5) And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking:

(Act 9:6) But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

(Act 9:7) And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.

(Act 9:8) And Saul got up from the earth, and when his eyes were open, he saw nothing; and he was guided by the hand into Damascus.

(Act 9:9) And for three days he was not able to see, and he took no food or drink.

(Act 9:10) Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! and he said, Here I am, Lord.

(Act 9:11) And the Lord said to him, Get up, and go to the street which is named Straight, and make search at the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus: for he is at prayer;

(Act 9:12) And he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands on him, so that he may be able to see.

(Act 9:13) But Ananias said, Lord, I have had accounts of this man from a number of people, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:

(Act 9:14) And here he has authority from the chief priests to make prisoners all who give worship to your name.

(Act 9:15) But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:

(Act 9:16) For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.

(Act 9:17) And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.

(Act 9:18) And straight away it seemed as if a veil was taken from his eyes, and he was able to see; and he got up, and had baptism;

Answer 9

Here's the story, straight from the Bible, ,

"Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense." When they heard him speak to them in Aramaic, they became very quiet.

Then Paul said: "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. Under Gamaliel I was thoroughly trained in the law of our fathers and was just as zealous for God as any of you are today. I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison, as also the high priest and all the Council can testify. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and went there to bring these people as prisoners to Jerusalem to be punished.

"About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, 'Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?'

" 'Who are you, Lord?' I asked.

" 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,' he replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me.

"'What shall I do, Lord?' I asked.
"'Get up,' the Lord said, 'and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.' My companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me.

"A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. He stood beside me and said, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight!' And at that very moment I was able to see him.

"Then he said: 'The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. You will be his witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.'

"When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance and saw the Lord speaking. 'Quick!' he said to me. 'Leave Jerusalem immediately, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'

" 'Lord,' I replied, 'these men know that I went from one synagogue to another to imprison and beat those who believe in you. And when the blood of your martyr[a] Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.'

"Then the Lord said to me, 'Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.' " (ACTS 22:1-21)
