Hi John: Paul was not a disciple of Christ, as Luke was, Paul was a Pharisee, then on his way to Damascus, he was knocked off his horse, and Effectivly DRAFTED into the Service of God. But as you say , it does not give us a reason as to why they went in different directions. Acts 22:3-8 3)I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. 4)And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. 5)As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished. 6)And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. 7)And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 8)And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. In Gods Love Nevvvvine |

Dear Newvine or wine or.... It's is very important to know what words mean when we do our study or research in any subject, and especially when dealing with the Word of the Almighty God. How diligent we must be when giving out His Word, or information about His Word, it cannot be said, the importance of which is far beyond mere words. One of the things I was taught early on in my all too short courier as a Bible student, was that there are some very important study tools, and one of the most important of these very important tools is, a good old dictionary. I see that brother Keliy has graciously stepped in and corrected the mistake, (thanks Kekiy!) so I'll leave it as it is, I don't think I could add anything at this point that perhaps wouldn't just muddy the waters more then they already are. Please give all due consideration to doing proper research before posting to this forum. It is not just about giving out to, individuals, but there are many, many folks, who come here starching for some truth. Certainly none of us are perfect, but we should be ever diligent to give out the truth, being as accurate as posable and to the very best of our ability. Proper research is essential! Please use your research and study tools before posting to this forum. Here are a few good ones for your consideration. I hope this helps you. http://dictionary.reference.com/ http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/ http://www.gotquestions.org/index.html Thank you. God bless John |

John, Good post brother. My question to newwine would be if Paul was not a disciple and he wasn't before his conversion. All believers were refered to as diciples up till the time of Acts 11:26 where it says they were first called Christians. If we couldn't call him a disciple at that time then what was he. (Disciple is Christian, Christian is Disciple) In Him, lionheart |
