Chapter 9, Verses 1-8

Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.

[Hebrews 11:6]

ROAD TO DAMASCUS:





SAUL SEES THE LIGHT!

SAUL IN DAMASCUS:

BLIND & IN DANGER

[Captain Walker]

Most of the depictions of Saul’s conversion include a horse; interestingly, Scripture makes no mention of a horse.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Damascus is 130 straight-line miles and 220 road miles from Jerusalem. As Paul's journey had the approval of Israel's ecclesiastical regime, it is almost certain that he was provided with adequate transportation; a horse would have been preferable to a donkey.

God never forbade deductive reasoning; rather, He encourages it.

[Red Badger]

Saul was the only early Apostle that had what would be the equivalent of a college education, being a Pharisee and training to become a rabbi had he not been converted.

This blinding was necessary to convince him of his new mission in spite of his beliefs as a rabbinical Pharisee. Sensory deprivation was necessary for him to look inward and contemplate the situation he was in and why. Notice he was ‘blind’ for three days.....................

[Red Badger]

Distance from Jerusalem to Damascus is around 150 miles.

There were three basic modes of land transportation at that time,

1. Walk
2. Ride a horse, mule, donkey etc.
3. Chariot/carriage

Paul was a Pharisee and a ‘tent maker by trade’ and would have been upper middle class and likely able to afford a horse..........

[Arlis]

But deductive reasoning can never be a source of or proof of truth. I Corin. 2:6-15

Only serious historical research on use of horses in Jerusalem/Damascus area around that time would provide evidence for a conclusion.

And I certainly have much better things to do.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for your analysis--it rings true.

There are not many cases documented in Scripture where God's role in saving a person is as dramatic and violent and sudden as for Paul. I mean, He didn't knock down and blind me--howsabout you? That said, it was indeed dramatic and sudden for me, and in its own way it had the potential for violence....

[Hebrews 11:6]

You are right about reaching a conclusion, if one is demanding rigorous 95%+ proof. I am not the one doing that.

[Red Badger]

Acts 9:5 KJV

And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

---

The phrase “kick against the pricks” is an allusion to a goad, a sharp stick of wood or iron, used by herders to make a stubborn animal move. The animal would sometimes kick back at the goad and thus injure itself even more.

This is telling Saul/Paul that he is going to stop believing in his rabbinical training and accept the new Christianity that he has been trying to destory...........

[Hebrews 11:6]

I know it's merely a typo, but you've stumbled thereby onto a new word full of potential: destory. Paul indeed was trying to remove those converts' testimonies....

[Red Badger]

Exactly so.

And Jesus knew he was going to be stubborn as an animal.

But Paul was the perfect person to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. Carrying the message to Asia Minor (Turkey), Greece, Cyprus, Crete, and eventually all the way to Rome......................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Like you, I am a huge fan of Paul. When my wife was pregnant with our first, we tried on baby names. For a boy she preferred her two favorite apostles, Peter Andrew. With our last name beginning with L, his initials would be "PAL". I proposed Peter Andrew Ulysses Lewis, "PAUL". We had girls....

[Red Badger]

Pamela Andrea Ursula...................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Susanna Christine and Joanna Christine.

[Red Badger]

My brother-in-law’s family are all names starting with ‘M’..........................

[spankalib]

#49, Snayers caught my eye, and it took me awhile...but because it feels unbalanced somehow. Look to the right; horse and rider galloping away, and a woman's head. Not sure why, or what that means...

The sculptures are outstanding. Is #73 considered sculpture? It is remarkable!

A lot of drama in all of these! Well done Dodger Dan, you check-swing fan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

#73 would be considered a "relief".

First Bobby ThomsonRalph Branca in '51, and then StanChokerWilliams in '62. So if GiantWhiners wanna claim "WEWUZROBBED!", it is glorious music, a HALLELUJAHCHORUS, to my ears.

[spankalib]

I’m relieved! ;)

Good Morning, Dan! :-)
