Was PauL "a righteous man" while killing Christians?
August 6, 2019
QUESTION?
I know St. Paul persecuted Christians before he was converted. My question is, was St. Paul considered a sinner, murderer and on his way to hell by persecuting Christians at that time. Or was he still considered a Righteous man doing the will of the old Law. Someone said he was still a holy man at that time ( while persecuting Christians) because he was only following orders and to him he was doing the will of God's leaders and doing the right thing. I hope my question is clear?
ANSWER!
He was on his way to hell - 5th commandment - Thou shall not kill. Jewish law does not supersede divine law.
