Saul persecuted Christ's followers. (Acts 9:1, 4, 17)
Saul approved of Stephen's stoning and witnessed it without intervening. He likely felt vindicated in his persecution of early Christians and emboldened in his efforts to suppress the spread of Christianity.
Christ-Christians
Saul hated Christians until he was converted.
The New Testament does not provide a specific number of Christians that Saul (later known as Paul) killed. However, it describes him as a zealous persecutor of Christians before his conversion, participating in the imprisonment and persecution of many believers. His actions contributed to widespread fear among the early Christian community. Ultimately, after his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, Saul became one of Christianity's most influential apostles.
Saul was a Pharisee and a persecutor of early Christians before his conversion to Christianity on the road to Damascus. After his conversion, he became known as Paul and became one of the most influential figures in spreading the teachings of Christianity.
Saul.
In the Bible, it talks about how Paul's original name was Saul. He was an educated Jew who hated Christians. He was a part of persecutions of Christians, and the Bible has a specific passage in Acts that talks about Saul holding the coats of the men who stoned Stephen, and Christian. Saul eventually became a Christian after having an encounter with God while traveling from city to city. So yes, there is biblical evidence of Paul (back then Saul) persecuting Christians.
No. Saul became Paul because Saul murdered Christians, but when he started following Jesus, Jesus changed his name to Paul.
it is pauls other name. he used to kill christians but then he spoke to god and he started to preach to christians.
To kill arrest the Christians and persecute them
Jewish authorities gave Saul authority to persecute Christians.
According to Acts, Saint Paul was once called Saul, and was a Pharisee. He consented to the execution of St. Stephen and contributed to the persecution of the early Christians. While seeking to round up more Christians for imprisonment, he saw a light from the sky and the voice of Jesus asking him why he was persecuting him. Saul was blinded, and given a vision that a disciple of Jesus would heal him. This happened, and Saul was converted.
