1 | What was the purpose of the law? | Gal 3:23 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 187319 | ||
Hopalong, My reading of the Bible conveys to me the perspective that Paul did not come to salvation convicted of sin but what "knocked him off his high hoss and left him dead and lying in the dust" was the conviction that Jesus is Messiah. |

Hello Lookn..., What verses would support that Paul came to salvation because of "the conviction that Jesus is Messiah?". Then, how would your reading and understanding of Rom. 7:42 and 1 Tim. 1:15 apply? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3 | What was the purpose of the law? | Gal 3:23 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 187368 | ||
First, let me reiterate, I am not saying Paul was not repentant. I am saying that his repentance for sin was based upon the conviction that Jesus as Messiah; that is, Paul realized he was a sinner when he realized Jesus is the Messiah. There is no Rom 7:42. I do not see how 1 Tim 1:15 contends against my understanding of Paul's conversion experience. |

Lookin..., OK. Sorry for the typo- Rom. 7:24! Again, let me reiterate the question: What verse(s) are you referring to in support of your contention. I'm not disagreeing that Paul did not show repentance, and he certainly recognized Jesus as Messiah- which is clear from his epistles!I'm simply asking for some clarification. In other words, what do YOU mean when you say, "Paul realized he was a sinner when he realized Jesus is the Messiah" Is this a general conclusion or is there specific scriptural support for this? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
