What was Saul doing on that road to Damascus??? Was Saul on that road seeking God??? NO! Saul of Tarsus had a bill of indictment in his satchel, with the authority of the high priest and Sanhedrin to go to Damascus to arrest Jews who were Christians with the intent of wiping out the Christian church there

With all due respect, this is historically false. The Sanhedrin had no authority in Damascus. It would be no different that saying he was sent to Rome to arrest Christian Jews there and bring them to trial in Israel.

To the Jews they did.

It was no different than the pope of Rome sending a garrison to Worms to arrest Martin Luther.
