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.
So yay I made it to 300 words RE
six coca.
