Bible Question: Was Saul from Tarsus a fighter? Did he use his fists? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Willie2005, The Bible does not specifically say that Saul ever struck anyone with his fists, but it does say that he "began ravaging the church, entering house after house, and dragging off men and women" putting them in prison (Acts 8:3), "destroyed those who called on this name" (Acts 9:21), and breathed threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord (Acts 9:1). But it is with the grace of the Lord that he could later say, "Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day." (Acts 23:1). I am a bit puzzled with this pre-occupation lately at the Forum with Saul of Tarsus. Let us dwell on Paul, who was commended by the Lord (2 Corinthians 10:18). Blessings to you, Makarios |
