Christians do you really think that someone who comes from a family of pharisees and who spent a significant part of his life persecuting?

persecuting Christians like Paul of Saul of Tarsus would suddenly get some kind of Vision and turn into a Christian prophet? Are you people nuts?

    Yes, God can change anyone who is sincere.

    The story does have a mythological vibe,

    but having a vision, a conversion, is not prohibited by known physics.

    Now that I think about it, that a guy might reach a point in his lifejobmarriage and is facing an existential dilemma, is not uncommon to snap, or hear you mind speak, or have a vision.

    I mean, it’s a good story. Paul did become an evangelical Jewish Christian somehow.

    Am I nuts?

    All I can testify to is what God has revealed in my life, you would have to be completely brain-dead and only living off a Brain stem to not change your ways.

    It's funny, but I noticed that a lot of people who come from Atheist households turn religious. And lots of people who came from religious families turn Atheist. I think it's because of how it affects people. If the family's belief system made them unhappy or even hurt them, then they turn away from it and do the polar opposite.

    Not a single one of them is going to listen to you. They already worship the man.

    That Really locks the NT, shows the truth, right?

    You've nailed it, impossible in the human realm.

    So what happened? You're right! Right up there, killing, persecuting Christians, likely on the fast track to a high position.

    Jesus knocks him down, speaks. Jesus is God, and if Jesus ever speaks, you listen: the power. Literally, Saul is humbled, and Blinded!

    Interesting... Blinded because Saul was blind.

    If God removes blindness spiritually, it's gone.

    Did you know that many, all? Christians must have this happen?

    CSLewis explains well, and I testify to the same experience.

    Unless God removes blindness, we don't see.

    But you're right, huge miracle, must have blown Head away.

    Did you read about their reaction?

    And Paul never understood that they were no longer his brethren.

    We can only understand so much, go so far being very limited.
