===== 1. Paul was a Christian killer β Correct β Before his conversion, Paul (then called Saul) persecuted Christians. He was a Pharisee and actively involved in hunting down early followers of Jesus. This is documented in the Bible (Acts 7:58, Acts 8:3). ===== # He claimed to have a revelation, but no one saw it or any signs β οΈ Partially correct β According to Acts 9:3-9, Paul had a vision of Jesus on the road to Damascus. The account says that those with him "heard a sound but saw no one." Some versions say they saw a light but did not understand what was happening. So, while there were witnesses to something, only Paul claimed to have seen Jesus and received direct instructions. # He supposedly went to jail, and the only witness was himself. The people with him were all killed β Not entirely accurate β Paul was imprisoned multiple times, but not always alone. Some early Christians, like Silas, were in jail with him (Acts 16:25-40). However, it is true that many of his companions and early Christians were executed, and we donβt have independent accounts from them. # He was imprisoned for his views, yet they gave him pen and paper β True, but common in Rome β Roman authorities sometimes allowed high-profile prisoners to write letters, especially if they were Roman citizens (which Paul was). House arrest, where Paul wrote some of his letters, was more relaxed than dungeon-style imprisonment. # All letters attributed to Paul were written by different people β Partially true β Some letters were dictated by Paul and written by scribes (e.g., Tertius wrote Romans 16:22). Modern textual analysis suggests that some letters attributed to Paul may have been written by different people, possibly followers of his teachings after his death. This is still debated.
