Can you prove that Jesus Christ would NOT have condemned Saul as a murderer of St. Stephen for allowing it?

Question

If you cannot prove this, then is it safe to say that George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Jeb Bush are murderers for pardoning and harboring the CONVICTED terrorists Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles in Flordia RIGHT NOW?

Answer 1

1Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest 2and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5"Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.

"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 6"Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."

7The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

10In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, "Ananias!"
"Yes, Lord," he answered.

11The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."

13"Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem. 14And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."

15But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. 16I will show him how much he must suffer for my name."

17Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." 18Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, 19and after taking some food, he regained his strength.

Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem
Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. 20At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. 21All those who heard him were astonished and asked, "Isn't he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn't he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?" 22Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.[a]
23After many days had gone by, the Jews conspired to kill him, 24but Saul learned of their plan. Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. 25But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.

So I can prove it because He didn't. Instead, Jesus called Paul into service. I guess the unrelated point about Bush was also proven false. The only question remains is whether you will let the facts stand in the way of your beliefs?

Answer 2

Everybody is a murderer, haven't you read Matthew 5?
21"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.

All are guilty. Christianity is not about trying to be sinless. It's about trusting God, Jesus being the sacrifice to atone for sins. What we have to do is trust him for what he said.

So is Saul a murderer? Yes, and had instigated literal killing. Are the Bush's murderers? Yes, because they are guilty of the same thing I am, not living perfectly by all the 613 Laws. That's 613 ways to violate the Law, and if I fail at even one then I am guilty of violating them all. That's the Law according to the Bible.

Consider yourself therefore, and trust God through Jesus Christ, believe in him and trust him, and you will escape the murderous hatred that you are guilty of. We cannot fool God into thinking that we somehow deserve grace.

Answer 3

heavily, you're taking this sort too a techniques. First, there are a number of distinctive perspectives with regard to the no females people preaching element. look up the view "egalitarian" in connection with females people in ministry and you will come across an entire distinctive attitude. additionally, I easily have easily no venture that Paul grew to alter into into ripping off OT texts. He grew to alter into real right into a Jew writing to a Jewish objective industry; it grew to alter into into the Bible they the two had on the time. Preachers on the instant do a similar element with the aid of utilising bringing up Bible verses. additionally, the version in wording could desire to come back from the certainty Paul could desire to be bringing up the LXX that's the Greek version of the OT. do no longer enable those minor discrepancies throw Paul under the bus, he's our pal!

Answer 4

Paul did not physically kill Stephen and so he is off the hook! I believed that God(Jesus) would have forgiven his sins at the road to Damascus!!!
