Saint Paul

Saint Paul was a Hellenistic Jew who called himself the “apostle of the gentiles” and was Together with saint peter and James “the just” the most notable of early Christian people. His efforts to accept non-believers converts to Christ were successful and important. According to “acts of the apostle” his conversion took place on the road of Damascus, where he experienced a vision of the resurrection of Jesus Christ after which after that he was blinded for a while. Unlike Jesus apostles in Jerusalem, Paul had not known of Jesus in person. Paul said he received the gospel not from a man but by the revelation of Jesus Christ, Paul claimed total

independence from the “mother church” in Jerusalem. Thirteen letters in the New Testament are made by Paul seven are true three are not from Paul and another three are undecided. Paul apparently told all his stories through a secretary. These were told throughout the Christian community, were they were read aloud in church along with others letters. Paul’s stories were accepted early as a scripture and later published as “Cannon of Scripture”. Critical scholars think that Paul’s stories to be the oldest in the New Testament (written 50-62 AD.) Paul‘s influence on Christian thinking has been more important than any other author in the new testament Book. Christianity is

commonly said to owe as much to Paul as to Jesus himself. This would affect young or teenaged children by the believe that even though they are not of catholic faith (born that way) they can still become of the Christian faith and believe that there is someone looking over them and there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
