"If Paul had done any such thing, Luke would certainly have recorded the beat down that Paul would have received. . . before his trial and execution."

Huh? Whole cities were drawn into hatred for Paul and plotted to kill him.

I am of the view actually that it was wrong for any to interrupt the services going on in those Catholic congregations. I'm talking about the original story. But I look at it there as a private property issue, and a right of association issue. That property belongs to the Catholic Church, and the worshipers there have the right to worship in association with each other as members, without being "molested" by any who are not members there.

“Huh? Whole cities were drawn into hatred for Paul and plotted to kill him.”

Which you know because Luke told you in writing. And Luke also told about the times Paul went to the synagogues to preach. Luke never once said anything about Paul interrupting a pagan religious service INSIDE a pagan temple or anywhere else for that matter. You’re proving my point.

I agree. But for some reason since then you and one other poster have insisted on making a case that Paul or Jesus interrupted pagan worship inside pagan temples when they never in fact did any such thing. So far neither one of you has been able to offer even a single case as an example either.
