Saul was a very learned man in his religious beliefs. He knew for certain that he was a member of the coosen people of God and the coming Messiah. He lived his life in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Scriptures, as he understood them.
He knew for certain that these people who were going from door to door, spreading their lies, supposedly taken from the very same Holy Scriptures, were a cult of false prophets and needed to be stopped.
Then, one day he came to believe that he had been wrong in his presumptions about them. He joined them in their teaching from door to door, house to house, and city to city. Because of his previous hardent opposition to them, he changed his name to Paul.
Had he been brainwashed into joining a cult, or had he found the Truth of God's word?
So who are you more like, Saul or Paul?

If you say you are more like Paul, does that mean you have learned to question the accepted popular Christian beliefs of the last 1800 years, just as Paul learned to question the popular Jewish beliefs? And, do you now go out door to door to tell others that their accepted beliefs are no longer valid, just as the Apostle Paul did? Or, do you find that to be too great a burden?

Latin Vulgate
Douay-Rheims Bible
Second Epistle Of Saint Peter
Chapter 2
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring in sects of perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their riotousnesses, through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their perdition slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment
11 Whereas angels who are greater in strength and power, bring not against themselves a railing judgment. 12 But these men, as irrational beasts, naturally tending to the snare and to destruction, blaspheming those things which they know not, shall perish in their corruption, 13 Receiving the reward of their injustice, counting for a pleasure the delights of a day: stains and spots, sporting themselves to excess, rioting in their feasts with you: 14 Having eyes full of adultery and of sin that ceaseth not: alluring unstable souls, having their heart exercised with covetousness, children of malediction

It's all about Harmony. Paul is not the wolf. The wolf would be the Pastors/Elders that sell Paul out of context. Paul writings cannot be held to a higher standard. They must be backed by and not contradict the rest of the Word. This is where the confusion is manifested. The Word wasn't written in modern times. A complete study of the true meaning comes from knowledge of the antiquity. Thousands of years of study passed through the generations of scholars and theologians are the most reliable source. Harmony, Harmony, Harmony. Confusion is the work of Satan. Bless You

Saul was a Pharisee.
Before Saul. Jesus sent his disciples door to door. Jesus followers were correct before him, and had not been anointed with Holy Spirit until Acts 2:1-4 the Pentecost after he ascended, then they were correct because they were Anointed.
Luke 10:1,10,11,16,17,18 [ after Jesus return to heaven Satan will be cast out Rom.16:20; Rev.12:6-12; and Matt.24:3,14,15,22,34,36-38 will began, in last days.
Daniels prophecy has everything to do with getting it right at the end time. Learn a lesson from Saul, if you do not have it right, wait for Jesus to give it, do not err.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE TRUTH????
Is 1914 CE + 70 the generation? KJV 1611 + 303 = 1914 an excepted translation.
Is 1918 CE + 70 the generation? What last days saul or Paul has it right?
Is 1920 CE + 70 the generation?
Is 1930 CE + 70 the generation?
Is 1936 CE + 70 the generation or me, does the bible tell me? as Jesus told Paul.
Is 1994 CE + 70 the generation [Dan.8:12-14 2300 = 1694 + 300 = 1994 + 70 ]???
Saul tell it all.
One from the dead appeared to Saul [ who spoke hebrew ], the resurrected Jesus appeared to him Acts 22:2,3,7,8,10,19,20,27 [ Saul was a Roman, Saul had abused the followers of Jesus], Acts 21:39,40 Saul/Paul was a Jew Acts 23:11 He would tell about Jesus not only in Jerusalem, but in Rome as well. Jesus had plans for Saul who became Paul after he knew he was correct, because prior he had thought he was correct. Paul told all about himself and how he perscuted the followers of Jesus.
Philip.3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Philip. 3:6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
When Saul was wrong it was as if he had the cart before the horse [ Messiah had already come and he missed it, he was behind the times, until Jesus told him right ];
I would never do as Saul did to condone Acts 7:55-60; the death of Stephen. There is no flaw in his sermon.
Daniel tells it all
[ At Acts before the Holy Spirit 1:7,8; 1Thes.5:1-9,21 after the Holy Spirit of Acts 2:1-4; To the children of the light of times and seasons, Jesus does not come as a thief in the night ]. Dan.9:24-27 the math of Daniel [ if from Eden to Daniel the math is correct it is a help ]. After Dan.7:25 time and times and the dividing of time [ is the math ]; Dan,8:14 2300 is the math. Dan 12:1-7 [ 2500 is the math ] the math can not be reduced but broke down. Dan.12:8-10 [ 2520 ] and after the math can not be reduced but as to
Rev.11:1-3; 12:6,14.13:1-5,6-10 [ 1260 + 1260 + 2520 + 1260 man days of WW1 ];
[ or 1260 less 606 BCE = 654 + 606 + 654 = 1914 + 42 months WW1 broke down ];
Rev.13:11-18 can not be left out [ 1272 less 606 BCE is 666 + 606 + 666 = 1938 + 7 years = 1945 WW2 and holocaust of German Nation Hitler Rev.13:18 = 666 ]
Dan.12:11 [ 2x 1290 = 2580 less 2520 = 60 years more or 1974 = 6,040 from Eden];
Dan.12:12 [ 2x 1335 = 2670 less 2520 = 150 years after 1914 and Rev.9:1-5 [ 5x 30 = 150 ] pit open for Satan and THE SEALED OF GOD IS THERE ];
Rev.9:12-16 and Rev.16:12-16 is leading to Armageddon the angels give 391 and so does Ezekiel and the Judah kings had 391 but first the book KJV Bible 1611 published + 391 = 2002 and the end times is established. Have to have the book to tell it all. After KJV Bible as excepted translation any near to it will do.
I am just a thorough investigator of the word of God and began this in 1963. I just can not take some one else word for it.
I do examine what organizations teach that they believe. I am not like Saul, I do not want the Lord to knock me down and say that I am all wrong to teach something wrong, so I want to get it right for me and the great teacher first and present it right.
Am I going to get it right and be able to teach the last 50 years before the second coming of Jesus, as the most important time of all, to those that will be alive at his coming. If I am going to be like Paul, I have to have it right and have his eye sight and do as in Acts 28:23,24,25 and 26 is faced alot, so I have all that Paul had to get right.

Paul was a bounty hunter. He would kill Christians and Jews for the fun of it. Tell me this. If Hitler said on the way to Berlin he had a dream that God told him to write a Holy Scripture or verses, do you think the jews would follow him and read his scriptures?

I am more like Paul. He had an encounter with God on the Damascus road and was blinded, later after prayer and fasting, he received his sight. God asked him why have you percuted my church??
He later loved God with all his soul, and his very life.
He was a changed man and in love with his devine maker. He chose to believe and had many devine encounters with God.
He rebuked the cults and told his chosen not to follow their ways.
He went house to house breaking bread and having fellowship with God and the saints.

What happened is that Saul had an encounter with Jesus Christ. He isn't the first person whose name God changed as a signal of the transformed life. Abram became Abraham. Jacob became Israel. I became... well, I haven't been given my new name yet, but I look forward to receiving it in heaven. Have an encounter with Jesus Christ. It will change your life... and your name!
