Umm, excuse me, but why are you giving legitimacy to a figure who began his career by having early christian missionaries murdered, and who them went on to become the "leader" of the Christian Church? Does it not, in any way, make you question what is going on here? Saul, who was MOST DEFINITELY NOT a disciple, should have been assigned the duty of caring for the left behind loved ones of the people he had murdered, in order to begin to atone for his sins. If you think he should be forgiven, then you are being an exemplar of the virtues of Christ, so good on you. But to become the LEADER of the church, who to this day is seen as a guide for Christian morality, does not somehow seem wrong to you in any way?
James rejected Christ divinity until after his death and resurrection way worse than Paul who may have been a murderer but was changed by the holy Spirit James saw Christ and still denied him until he had a vision of him later
"Paul who may have been a murderer" What do you mean "may have been"?
See, folks, THIS is how many layers deep of brainwashing we are dealing with here. It is people like this that give Christianity a bad name. It is almost completely irredeemable.
As a descendant of the first people to convert, I am disappointed
