Saint Paul: The Founder of Christianity

Through Paul’s life, he had converted and turned thousands of people through many different ways of reaching the people. An example was Paul’s eschatology centered on the imminent end of the world. He truly believed the world was coming to a sudden end and was very strongly set on reaching these people about converting. He felt they must convert and achieve salvation before the world’s end. Paul also talked in the Jerusalem council and discussed/argued with Peter, James, and John, the pillars of Christianity, about the Christian Doctrine, or topics like circumcision and dietary laws. He fought that circumcision was not necessary when converting to Christianity. He argued that the little skin trimmed from the males was not relevant in the slightest way to conversion.

The time of Paul was the biggest and most beneficial era of Christianity. This era began with the blinding of Saul and the later conversion to Paul. He then reached out to the communities with almost provocative arguments that it made people think. It made people see and feel the ways of Christianity. He was very good at reading people and basically telling them what they wanted to hear and what he wanted them to hear, enough to convert them to Christianity. He was a very committed man in that he was very persistent with his objectives. He fought for what he thought was right at the council of Jerusalem. He fought for the conversion when he realized, or thought, the world was imminently coming to an end. Paul was the harbinger of Christianity.
