Saul/Paul believed that one day Jesus will return to earth to judge all of mankind:
2Timothy 4:1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
Saul/Paul believed that a person is saved/put right with God through faith in Jesus:
Galatians 2:16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
1Thessalonians 5:9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Saul encontered Jesus on his was to Damascus .
In Acts, Saul persecutes Christians because he did not believe Jesus was the son of God. He had many Christians killed before he was spoken to by Jesus and was then converted and is now known as St. Paul.
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.
No. Saul became Paul because Saul murdered Christians, but when he started following Jesus, Jesus changed his name to Paul.
The two people Jesus appeared to on the road to Damascus were Saul (who later became known as the apostle Paul) and Ananias. Jesus appeared to Saul in a blinding light and spoke to him, causing him to become a believer and change his ways. Ananias was instructed by Jesus to go to Saul and heal him of his blindness.
Saul who became Paul was a sworn enemy of jesus first.
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.

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
