The Dichotomy: The Role Of Paul In The Book Of Acts

According to the Book of Acts, it is an absolute fact that Paul’s heart and soul was utterly converted on the road to Damascus when Holy Christ himself had granted him with the honor of discipleship. Brightest Heavenly light flashed upon the vilest foe of Christianity and at once altered him into a most unpretentious slave of Christ. The former authoritarian would become a role model of the dignified sovereignty. His arrogance, self-centeredness, obsession, and bigotry with the Divine Decree disappeared and switched to friendship, care, and an intense need to share the Blessings of the Lord. In the subsequent years, the Christian supporters in towns of the eastern Mediterranean areas including both men and women expeditiously and rapidly determined
