Saint Paul is a saint that changed for the better of all Christians and all people. Before Saint Paul’s conversion‚ he was called Saul because he was Jewish. Saul was there for Saint Stephens death because he was persecuting Christians. Saul did not believe in what Saint Stephen was trying to teach‚ so Saint Stephen became the first Christian martyr. He converted to Christianity because Jesus was calling to him asking‚ “Why are you persecuting me?” Then‚ Saul became blind on the way to Damascus.

The Authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews Over the centuries‚ there have been many attempts to identify the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews. The nominations that seem to have more data to back them are the Apostle Paul‚ Barnabas the Levite‚ Apollos‚ the husband/wife team of Priscilla and Aquila‚ and Luke. Although little evidence exists to promote the following nominees‚ a simple list will be informative. It is not enough to know the major candidates for authorship. Evidence may surface

Paul’s perspective has been misunderstood many times in history‚ but it should be a model for Christian life. Paul uses slavery as imagery to telling us that we should be enslaved to Christ. He uses this imagery to signify that we will have ultimate freedom under Christ. In Romans 6:16 he says‚ “Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves‚ you are slaves of the one whom you obey‚ either of sin‚ which leads to death‚ or of obedience‚ which leads to righteousness?” He

Uzias Gutierrez-Hougardy Professor Randolph Bynum 25 June 2016 The apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Church in Philippi around the year 60 CE‚ approximatly ten years after his first visit to them. There is very little doubt to the fact that Paul was the author of this letter. Paul is the author of many of the books in the New Testament and one of the primary apostles to the gentile populations. The Church in Philippi is the first one that was founded in Europe in the Macedonian region of the Roman

So‚ shortly after witnessing Stephen’s stoning (Saul) Paul is attempting to continue his holy war on Christianity‚ but after being confronted by God Saul‚ now Paul‚ almost immediately begins his mission work. Consequently‚ Paul’s first mission trip into the Asia Minor region without consent from the Jewish church leaders

After reading the opening I agree with Osborne that Paul does a very detailed job summarizing the doctrine of salvation (above all other epistles written). I believe just as Osborne does that this letter was intended to be read to the church at Rome and to Christians everywhere. Osborne reports that nearly all scholars believe in the unity of Romans even though several key doctrines are discussed in depth‚ which might indicate several letters. Until I read Osborne’s commentary I had never heard of

John Reumann helps us to better understand the letter of Philippians. He thinks that the one who wrote the letter was Paul but he also says that the letter of Philippians is a combination of three separate letters which Paul had written to the Philippian churches. Reumann offers a general presentation taken after an investigation of Interpretation‚ Notes and Criticism. The compact presentation establishes Reumann’s view that the letter to the Philippians includes three initially isolated Pauline
