yes, acts 8; 1-5, acts 9; 1-2, 1 cor15;910, Paul was similar to a SS Nazi officer who decided who would die in the gas chambers, he didn't actually do the killing, rather approved and consented of murders of innocent. Those Nazi officers were sentenced to death after WWII just as a murderer.

NO. Paul never killed anyone. Paul never acted on his own either in approving executions. He did arrest people much like a police officer today might enforce a warrant, but the warrant was given by a legitimate authority of his day. Just before his conversion he had picked up warrants to serve and was on his was to serve them when he met Jesus on the road and discovered that Jesus truly is the Messiah. As soon as he found out the truth he became just as or more zealous in his spreading of the faith as he was in persecuting the church when he believed they were wrong and thought he was defending God & Judaism.

So, in the opinion of a lot of us he was no more guilty of murder than an police officer who would arrest a criminal who would later be executed or one who went to witness an execution. Also, I do not believe God would have used him to write the books of the Bible he did had he been guilty of shedding innocent blood himself.

Before his conversion, Paul (known as Saul) was involved in the persecution and killing of Christians. However, after his conversion on the road to Damascus, he became a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and went on to become one of the most influential figures in the early Christian church.

Christian tradition holds that Paul was sent to Rome and executed there, although this is not based on proof of any form. Although it does appear that he was imprisoned, there is no available evidence that he was executed. Some suggest that after his trial, he travelled to Spain as he appears to have intended. He may even have died peacefully of old age. We simply do not know.

After he changed to Apostle Paul , he did not commit murder. But as Saul, yes.(Acts 8:1+3; Acts 9:1+2; Acts 26:10+11; Galatians 1:13+14)

What is the correct grammar - Apostle Paul or apostle Paul?

OpinionI would say Apostle Paul wherever I use 'Apostle' as a title, in the same way as I would say Mr Smith, with 'Mr' capitalised. Less frequently, I would write 'apostle' uncapitalised if I did not intend it as a title, for example where 'apostle' is the subject of the sentence, and Paul is addressed. Use capitals to be on the safe side.
