What is an account of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus and his experience with Ananias?
=== === 1And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.8And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 9And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. 10And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 11And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, 12And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 13Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 14And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. 15But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 16For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. 17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. 19And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. 20And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.21But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

What is the Damascus road experience?
The two apostles on the road to Damascus were Cleopas and probably Luke, since it was he who wrote of the account. The Lord was showing them that He was indeed resurrected even though they did not recognize him at the time. He appeared to many after his resurrection including many women, Mary mother of Joses, Joanna, Salomi mother of James and John This is based on Saul's journey to Damascus where he was traveling to further persecute the Christian converts there. On route, the Lord appeared to him as a brilliant light which caused Saul to fall before it. Jesus spoke to him, and Saul was totally transformed from a vehement and vindictive unbeliever to a humbled man seeking the Lord's will. In modern day usage, to refer to something as a ' Damascus road experience' is to refer to a profound life-changing experience, that turned one from skepticism to belief in the Jesus whom one previously mocked and rejected.
Where in bible does Paul receive sight?
Paul himself never mentions either having lost his sight or regained it. In fact his own brief statement on his conversion to Christianity seems a little contrary to what is told in Acts of the Apostles, where this miracle occurs.Acts of the Apostles gives us three different accounts of Paul's conversion. Following the first account, in Acts 9:17-18, Ananias placed his hand on Paul's head and told him that he was to receive his sight back. A briefer version of the same miracle is in Acts 22:13. The third account, in Acts chapter 26 omits mention of Paul having been blinded, which does not necessarily contradict the two other accounts in Acts although there are other contradictions.
What does the value of conversion factor depend on for the formula of a substance?
The value of the conversion factor for a substance depends on its molecular weight or molar mass, which is determined by the sum of the atomic weights of its constituent elements. Additionally, the conversion factor may also take into account the specific units being used (such as grams to moles) and the physical state or form of the substance. Accurate conversion factors are essential for stoichiometric calculations in chemistry.
Novice driver's account for how many times more crashes the drivers with five additional years of experience?
Novice drivers are typically involved in crashes at a rate approximately three to four times higher than those of drivers with five additional years of experience. This increased risk is largely due to their lack of experience and skill in handling various driving situations. As drivers gain more experience, their ability to assess risks and respond appropriately improves, significantly reducing the likelihood of accidents.
What is the standard measurements from the finished walls to the bath tub drain?
Not standardized in my handyman experience. Which may account for the builder's practice of not actually putting floor boards under these appliances when they can do so. So check your appliance measurements.
What disciple in Damascus did the Lord speak to about laying hands on Saul?
The Lord spoke to Ananias in Damascus about laying hands on Saul (who later became known as the apostle Paul). Ananias was hesitant at first because of Saul's reputation, but he obeyed and baptized Saul, who then regained his sight and was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Who was the first disciple to meet with Paul after his conversion?
Paul says that after his conversion, he spoke to no man, but went straight to Arabia, then returned to Damascus, bypassing Jerusalem. After spending time in Damascus, he went to Jerusalem and met Peter, then James and John.Paul's own account in the epistles makes no mention of a dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, as described in Acts of the Apostles more than half a century later. Instead he says that he received the gospel from no man, but by direct revelation from God.However, Acts of the Apostles tells an entirely different story, saying that Paul, being blinded, was led to Damascus where he met Ananias, who restored his vision and began to teach him the gospel.
What led to Saul's conversion?
In Acts chapter 9 it gives the account of Saul's conversion. Verse 4 said that he heard a voice ask him: "Saul why are you persecuting me?" The voice identified himself as Jesus and gave Saul specific instructions to go into the city of Damascus and from there it would be revealed to him what to do. Saul was stricken with blindness so he had to be led into the city. Jesus had appeared in a vision to one of his disciples, named Ananias, and instructed him to meet Saul. Once doing so, Ananias cured Saul of his blindness and filled him with Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit must have also helped him with his "spiritual blindness" because after staying some days with Ananias, he immediately started his preaching work.
What religeous expeirience occurred to st.paul?
He was converted to Christianity on the road to Damascus with his encounter with Jesus Christ. Read the account in Luke 9:1-9.
Why did Paul's conversion happen on a road?
According to the New Testament account, Paul's (Saul's) experience on the road to Damascus was not his conversion; it was a vision in which the glorified Jesus told him to, "...go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do."(Acts 9:6)His conversion was not accomplished until after he followed Jesus' instruction, and did as he was told.Acts 9:17, 18 - And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.The account in chapter nine is not specific in this regard, but Paul later reveals more of what Ananias told him:Acts 22:16 - And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.(Quotes from KJV)
Towards which city was Saul traveling when he encountered a light from heaven?
Acts 9 [Full Chapter][ The Damascus Road: Saul Converted ] Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.
Whom did God send to restore Saul's sight?
A:Acts of the Apostles tels how Paul was blinded by a light, fell down and heard the voice of Jesus saying, "It hurts you to kick against the goad[or 'pricks']" (Acts 9:5, 26:14). This is also a quotation from the ancient play known as Bacchae by Euripides (d. 406 BCE). The scene has parallels to the play and peculiarly has Jesus quote a Greek proverb to Paul while speaking Aramaic ("in the Hebrew language"). Paul was then taken, blind and helpless to Damascus, where his sight was restored by Ananias and he was taught the gospel.Paul himself never mentions this episode, and says that after his conversion, he went straight to Arabia. As the account in Acts of the Apostles appears to have been based on the Bacchae(as was its account of Paul's miraculous escape from prison), we have to consider the possibility that Paul did not lose his sight on the road to Damascus and therefore never had it restored.
What did saul do after receiving his sight?
In his epistles, Paul never mentions having been blinded or even of having a vision on the road to Damascus. In fact what he does tell us about his conversion and about his earliest Christian journey is quite at odds with having been blinded at all. He immediately travelled to Arabia (Petrea), a long journey he was unlikely to have taken if in any way incapacitated.Acts of the Apostles, written some decades after the death of Paul, gives us three different accounts of Paul's conversion. Following the first account, in Acts 9:17-18, Ananias placed his hand on Paul's head and told him that he was to receive his sight back. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God (Acts 9:20).A briefer version of the same miracle is in Acts 22:13, without any mention of preaching in Damascus. The third account, in Acts chapter 26 omits mention of Paul having been blinded, but does say that he began to preach in Damascus.
Paul's coversion on the road to Damascus?
A:According to Acts of the Apostles, Paul converted on the road to Damascus. He was blinded by a light, fell down and heard the voice of Jesus saying, "It hurts you to kick against the goad [or 'pricks']" (Acts 25:14). This is a quotation from theancient play known as Bacchae by Euripides (d. 406 BCE). The scene has parallels to the play and peculiarly has Jesus quote a Greek proverb to Paul while speaking Aramaic ("in the Hebrew language"). Paul was then taken, blind and helpless to Damascus, where he was taught the gospel. Paul himself never mentions this episode, and says that after his conversion, he went straight to Arabia. Another clear parallel between Acts and the Bacchae is when Paul is miraculously released from prison. Taken together, these accounts demonstrate that the source was a play, not actual events. If Paul was not really converted on the road to Damascus, then no one was.
Why did St. Paul change his beliefs?
He encountered Jesus Christ, whom he was persecuting on the road to Damasus. The account is recorded in the Book of Acts, Chapter 10. He was told by Jesus to meet a man named Ananias, and told Ananias to meet Saul. Ananias introduced him to the very hesitant disciples, who then taught him in the Way. His encounter with Christ was a profound, terrifying and mystical experience.
What is the Damascus road experience?
The two apostles on the road to Damascus were Cleopas and probably Luke, since it was he who wrote of the account. The Lord was showing them that He was indeed resurrected even though they did not recognize him at the time.

How did Paul become blind?
A:Christians believe that Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus and that as a result of that experience, he was blinded and taken to Damascus, where he converted to Christianity and became an evangelist. Acts of the Apostles, written decades after Paul's death, provides three parallel but different miraculous stories in which Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus. In each account there was a blinding light, which appeared only to Paul in the version at Acts 9:3-8 and probably at Acts 26.13-19, but appeared to both Paul and his men at Acts 22:6-11 (although only Paul was blinded). Paul alone heard a voice from heaven at Acts 22:6-11 and probably at Acts 26.13-19, but both Paul and his men heard the voice at Acts 9:3-8. Each of these stories says that the voice from heaven said it was Jesus, and from this one could believe that Paul did accept that it was really Jesus.The three accounts of this event actually appear to have been based on the ancient play of Euripedes called the Bacchae. This alone would be enough to cast serious doubts on the explanation in Acts.Paul himself provides very little information about how he came to believe that he was called to be the apostle to the gentiles. He never mentions any divine vision that led to his conversion nor of his being temporarily blinded; in fact his epistles seem to have ruled this out. In his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, and only then went to Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), then Jerusalem, Syria and Cilicia, and, after a period of fourteen years, back to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:17-2:1). On this evidence, we could reasonably say that Jesus did not meet Paul on the road to Damascus, at least not at the time of his conversion, and Paul was certainly not required to go immediately to the nearest city (Damascus) because of blindness.
