Strange thing, don’t remember Saul of Tarsus following Christian teachings or principles before his experience on the road to Damascus.

Thank you, you beat me to it =:^)

Before Damascus, Saul knew a lot about the extant Holy Scriptuers--it's just that his theological seminary had skewed his interpretation way off base, and had added a lot of things to it that were simply not there. Like hundreds of years of traditions of fallible religionists, for instance. And hypocrisy in criticizing others, not following the rulebook themselves.

Just sayin' --

I am the Greatest of Pharisees in my own way spending many years as a ‘religious hypocrite’.

I have been as ashamed of my past actions as Dr. Martin Luther King was about his consorting with prostitutes.

I guess that disqualifies me from having an opinion about gay marriage or other matters.
