Saul encontered Jesus on his was to Damascus .
Saul who became Paul was a sworn enemy of jesus first.
No. Saul became Paul because Saul murdered Christians, but when he started following Jesus, Jesus changed his name to Paul.
King Saul and Jesus were not contemporaneous: Jesus died about 32 or 33AD but King Saul died about 1010BC. However, Paul the Apostle came from Tarsus and changed his name to 'Saul 'upon his conversion.
Saul was also called Paul which we know him as better. In the book of Acts in chapter 9 it tells of Sauls conversion while travelling to Damascus. Saul was still working against the Christians when he was "intercepted" by Jesus. Jesus asked him why he was persecuting him. After saul was blinded by the light that shone from Jesus, Jesus told him to go into the city where he would receive further instructions. In Damascus a disciple of Christ named Ananias met with Saul (under Jesus's direction) and told him what Jesus told him to say. Saul's blindness was healed and he began preaching the good news about Jesus. In chapter 13, the Holy Spirit told them that Barnabas and Saul were to be set apart for the work to which Jesus had called them. This was the commissioning of Saul to begin preaching Jesus to people full time.
After Saul saw Jesus in a vision, he was temporarily blinded ,but saw the truth in his heart. After than he changed his name to Paul and taught people to know and love Jesus. :)
Saul began preaching Jesus within days of his conversion. See Acts 9:1-20.
Jesus,Paul(Saul),and the other apostles of Jesus
Saul was not going to Calvary, but to Damascus when he was converted to Christianity. Jesus said to him, "Saul, Saul why are you persecuting Me?" Saul said,"Who are You, Lord?" To which Jesus replied, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." Saul then asked, "Lord what do you want me to do?" Jesus told him to arise and go into the city, Damascus, and you will be told what to do." Read the entire account of Paul's conversion to Christianity in the Holy Scriptures. The book of Acts, chapter 9.
God then sent a Christian named Ananias to give Saul back his sight, to baptize him, and tell him what the Lord expected of him
Saul of the Old Testament did not. Saul (Paul) of the New Testament did not see God but he heard the voice of Jesus while on the road to Damascus.
The individual first named Saul was alive when the ancient Roman empire occupied Judea. After a religious experience, Saul stopped persecuting Christians and became an apostle of Jesus Christ. He was renamed Paul. Reportedly Paul was executed in Rome.
Answer A: Saul, before his conversion to Paul, was a Jewish Pharisee who was tasked with the investigation of Jesus. (Remember, Jesus was considered to be a wayward rabbi from Galilee, a potential rebel and agitator, who aroused the wrath of the Jewish High Priests (the Temple Priesthood in Jerusalem.) Answer B: I believe apostles did not hate Saul as their Lord and Savior Jesus had taught them to love their enemies.
