What did Saint Paul do?

Answer 1

Paul was the great Apostle to the Gentiles. Next to Jesus, Paul was the person most responsible for the spread of Christianity. More than any human being, it was Paul who turned a religion full of Jews into a religion made up mostly of non-Jews. He took the story of Jesus on the road for approximately 10,000 miles and wrote over one-fourth of the New Testament. Paul Hebrew name was Saul and this name is always used in Acts until his miraculous visitation by Jesus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). This visitation left him blind. According to the Bible, the Holy Spirit visited Paul and returned his sight, which then led Paul as a new convert to spread the message of Jesus and establish Christianity throughout the world -at least the parts he could reach in a lifetime. As a Jewish Pharisee, Prior to this visitation, Saul was an outspoken opponent of Jesus who persecuted Christians. Paul became the perfect ambassador for Christianity and was able to bridge the gap among Jews, Romans and Greeks. He had been raised strictly in Judaism; he spoke fluent Greek; and he was a Roman citizen. He was also educated in Greek literature and thought and could, therefore, express the doctrines and teachings of Jesus to the Gentiles. As a Roman citizen, he had certain freedoms that allowed him to travel and continue the work that Jesus began. Paul managed to bring his message to areas of the world that Jesus never reached, such as Turkey (then known as Asia Minor) and Greece. According to the scriptures, in particular the Book of Acts in the New Testament, Paul made three major trips during his life: Palestine and Antioch (Syria) Thessalonica (ancient Macedonia) Philippi and then on to Corinth and Turkey (Asia Minor) However, it wasn't long before authorities caught on to Paul and his continuing Christian teaching. Upon his return to Jerusalem, after he opened a church in Ephesus (a city in the country we now call Turkey), Jewish authorities arrested Paul, fearing an uprising of Jesus' followers and the possible undermining of Judaism. Paul appealed his case to Rome, where he spent the rest of his life awaiting trial. In A.D. 64, His Character: His intensity about life was matched by his faith and love for Jesus Christ His Sorrow: The memory of his hatred of Christians and his sanctioning of their punishment, floggings and murder. His Triumph: Paul spread the gospel to the gentiles; he was a chosen vessel of the Lord to bear His name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. Key Scriptures: Acts 8;9 and Paul's letters Attributes: Beneficially, he held three fundamentals of the world's philosophy of that day-Greek culture, Roman citizenship, and Hebrew religion
