Conversion of Paul The Apostle Paul

The Progressive Conversion of Paul
Terrorist Saul --> Wretched Paul --> Converted Paul
(servant of sin --> servant of righteousness) --> no servant at all

Terrorist Saul of Tarsus

When it came to the Old Testament, Paul, as former terrorist Saul of Tarsus for the first 50 of his 75 years, was of the seed of Abraham and stock of Israel, circumcised the eighth day, a Hebrew of the tribe of Benjamin, tutored by Gamiliel of Jerusalem, also a Pharisee and a renowned orator of the law in three languages, even in the east among Babylonian Jews, even a Roman citizen. Terrorist Saul knew the OT well and kept the law thereof better than his peers, to the point of blameless: kept law more pure, used it more lawfully, than others. This was likely the reason Saul was chosen of God and apprehended by "Jesus" to be Paul "an apostle" while in his first stage of conversion of Paul as Saul -> Paul. For if he'd kept the Mosaic law more pure as Saul, then he'd likely also keep God's grace more pure as Paul; Not to mention also be a faithful steward of the mysteries of God, unto the end.

Terrorist Saul becomes Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ

Yet by his own admission Paul was still a "wretched" man via "another law" which worked all manner of (evil) "concupiscence" in him. But eventually he becomes Paul "The Apostle" in his second stage of conversion (if twice fallen to great, then twice risen to greatest is req'd for reconciliation). Converted Paul becomes a man (like unto the "perfect man" Christ, moreover the "fulness of Christ", or "Christ": "the end of the law" to the max: abolished, done away, taken away, blotted out, to the point of no mention of law at all at the end since law is both "ready to vanish": Heb 8:13 and "shall vanish": 1Cor 13:8). So it is The Apostle Paul who in the end of his epistles and in the end of the Holy Bible, makes no mention of law (sin and death), making it a book of life instead of books of life + death = a dead end; making it and you all one thing: Holy, rather than Holy Holy; Graced to life rather than Law-Law-ed to death. For God did not send his Son to condemn(law) the world, no, not this; but rather that: the world through him (through J->C) might be saved(graced).

Converted Paul: "I do not frustrate the grace of God"
Paul The Apostle does not frsustrate(law; vex) God's grace.

Converted Paul becomes the man Paul does not frustrate(law) the grace of God. And his previous knowing of the law, his previous zeal for keeping the law, notably only earned him the title of "chief sinner" whenever sin was law imputed; Which he no longer did as Paul "The Apostle": "his witness unto all men", "his angel", who brings you all (you, and all the KofG within you) safely home with the home run of playing the last trump, to end not only Revelation but the Holy Bible. And by such an end to what began: law being added to "grace is sufficient" (no law req'd), thereby none perish, which is the will of the Lord longsuffering to us-ward, the just us thereof all grace (no law at all).

Behold, I shew you a mystery: we shall not all die, rather we all change

For it's only a "shew", to shew us "the only Potentate": "the only wise God" of foolish/wise Gods, "the only true God" of false/true Gods, "that God" of this/that Gods (light void of darkness), "that God" who was in "Christ" (of Jesus => Christ) reconciling the world unto himself, is "the living God" of the "living", "God our Saviour", "the God of all grace"; The Maker of Creator/Maker, Who makes "you" (all the KofG within you) perfect (all grace, no law at all), stablished, strengthened, settled (the matter is settled: he is our peace)... after "ye"(do err) suffer awhile by not knowing which is witch of two things, and not knowing the "greatest" of three things "never faileth", not ever.

Such a shew, such allegory, such mystery, written in the form of plural and contrary scriptures, one of such being the script-u-are, was "written aforetime for our learning", since "it is preposterous order to teach first and learn after". The script-u-are saith: "cast out the bondwoman (this Agar = Mt Sinai = law) and her son" (result of the law: sin and death; such "no escape" wrath, such destruction of law worketh wrath God hath not appointed us unto). For there is an "escape", and such is via "give more earnest heed" to what's been said.

Converted Paul The Apostle Paul: Writes Majority of the New Testament

And the New Testament, which notably begins and ends with "Jesus Christ" (the singular "generation" and "grace" thereof), Paul is the major player. Of 27 NT writings, the 15 Pauline Epistles make up 15/27 = 55% of NT writings:
      1. Romans             6. Philippians               11. 2Timothy
      2. 1Corinthians       7. Colossians               12. Titus (from Paul)
      3. 2Corinthains       8. 1Thessalonians        13. Philemon (from Paul)
      4. Galatians            9. 2Thessaloninans      14. Hebrews (mini bible)
      5. Ephesians          10. 1Timothy               15. Revelation (final exam)

Paul "an apostle of Jesus Christ" becomes Paul The Apostle Paul

In 12 of 15 Pauline epistles Paul is called "Paul The Apostle" in the titles. So we notably have three phases he went through to become Paul "The Apostle"; the midst (narrow way) thereof such broad, narrow, and more excellent ways having the potential to draw back to perdition or go on to perfection. And to answer the question of whether Paul ever arrived, we have it thereby noted he did, for Paul is both initiator and major clarifier of "charity" never faileth; noting charity is the "greatest" of "three" things great --> greater --> greatest. So Paul goes through the fwd process of conversion, as if the reverse of being twice fallen bwd to perversion of baby-lon the "great" <-- greater <-- greater.

   1. Saul of Tarsus (2/3 of 75 yrs): terrorist Saul: Pharisee: "chief sinner"
   2. Saul --> Paul: "an apostle"; yet still "wretched" Paul via "another law"
   3. Paul "The Apostle": "I do not frustrate the grace of God"

The other apostles, when twelve, were as a hung jury which could not agree on much of anything, especially who was the greatest or more beloved among them. Two of such, the sons of thunder, moved the other ten to indignation. And of Judas it is said he "also" betrayed him, denoting there was more than one betrayer among the twelve apostles; For Peter even denied him thrice x 2, thrice without the gate and thrice again within the home of the high priest. Not to mention Jesus called Peter "Satan", told him to get "behind" him as if dung.

Even when eleven, the other apostles were upbraided for their "unbelief", probably because they forgot "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump". And even when Mathias was chosen by lot so they could become twelve again, God chose Saul instead to become Paul, and eventually Paul "The Apostle": "his witness unto all men" (including other apostles) concerning God's grace and charity never faileth (any test); Whereas the laws to love thy God and thy neighbor failed the tests of holiness with sobriety and endurance to the end.

Three of the other apostles were as three top "dogs", who actively subverted churches established in grace by Paul and those who accompanied him. Paul even names three: James, Cephas, John; and warned "beware of dogs". Converted Peter allegorically reveals a Dog (reverse of God) returns to his vomit: law, such as James did as leader of the church at Jerusalem, and Peter did as first pope, and John did as Johnny law vs His grace in Revelation: the "worse" case scenario ("latter end worse") of perverted grace from "seven spirits" (more wicked); Which is notably destructive "prophecy" x 7, and "this" (of this/that) the first and last time of seven times "prophecy" is mentioned.

Prophecy tends to be the reverse of prophesy, destructive rather than constructive, gloom-ing rather than groom-ing, tearing down rather than building up, accusation of brethren rather than approval of brethren, condemns them all to destruction by law rather than being grace us to the point of none perish when there is no mention of law: sin and death at all.

On the contrary, Paul "The Apostle" actively promotes the constructive "prophesy" of charity "never faileth" a test (by enduring unto the end), no, not the CJ vs JC test, nor the Son of Man vs the Son of God test, nor the Holy Ghost vs Holy Spirit test, nor this gospel vs that gospel test, nor the holiness with sobriety test, nor even the endurance test of Revelation "prophecy" (as if navigating through the best of spam without getting spammed, or through a latter end worse case scenario that even becomes a worst case scenario when perverted grace from "seven spirits" gets revelationed as being from "seven other spirits more wicked"). But such prophecy x 7 which is also this of this/that first and last time mentioned of seven times, has an end. And notably because law had an expiry date, expired long ago: "was, and is not"; Was only a counter part in a two part shew about a third part (bottom third) of the stars of heaven being drawn away to heavens by a "great wonder", and cast down to earth by the tail of "another wonder" appearing in heaven. Yet for some still unaware the beast thou sawest "was, and is not, yet is"; till the end. For in the end it is not, no, nor ever was, when such law(lie) given no place by you all.

The end is the "salutation" of Paul (faithful steward of the mysteries of God) by his own hand, the "token" (ticket to heaven) in every (Pauline) epistle. The token is: Grace with you all. Amen. (no mention of law at all). And because it's the grace (pure religion) of "our" Lord "Jesus Christ" which paid a "visit" (not a ransom) to the afflicted, it also speaks of peace "with" God for you all. For peace "with" God (not just "from" God) is through "our" Lord Jesus Christ, which not only allegorically speaks of going through the narrow (door) way of Jesus (born under the law) --> Christ (the end of the law), but also of you all having the same Lord: JC "the same" yesterday, to day, and for ever; and you all saying the same (JC) things, such as "great (law) tribulation" was not since the beginning to this time, no, nor ever shall be. In other words give devilish law, "great terror" and "great tribulation" of such lie, no place at all.

Paul tells his converts to prophesieth: edification --> exhortation --> comfort unto men, an end focused on the groomed comfort of contructive "prophesy" rather than an end focused on gloomed discomfort of destructive "prophecy"; Especially if such prophecy speaks of law <-- law, after which all hell breaks loose and a latter end worse becomes a latter end worst, destruction wise: becomes the "no escape" sort of "sudden destruction" in 1Thess 5:3 via "seven spirits" revelationed as "seven other spirits more wicked". Paul told converts: "despise not prophesy-ings", obviously because such speaking unto men edification --> exhortation --> comfort, ends with (grace us) comfort. It also begins with being built up from the proper foundation rather than puffed up unto nothing more than sounding brass, by letting grace be spiritual afterward.

Hence we find, via seek and ye shall find (find grace in time, to help), find that Paul The Apostle is not only the major player in the NT writings, but also the author of Revelation and "his angel" therein who gets to play the last trump it of two trumps. And such an end of Revelation (Uncovering), being also the end of the Holy Bible containing Old and New Testaments, is as finally speaking "comfort" (grace with you all) unto all men, the 'paramuthia' sort of "comfort", or the know-ing that is above and beyond faith-ing and hope-ing; which speaks of charity never faileth a test of endurance, endures to the end.

Charity "never faileth" a test, especially holiness with sobriety.
Charity passes every test, even the Revelation endurance test.
Charity stays 'focused': on prophesy comfort, not discomfort.

See also: Pauline Clarity of Charity of Faith --> Hope --> Charity.
Having Biblical Charity, or not, is as having everything, or nothing.
Charity by law is non profit. But Charity by grace is profit withal.
