He was the son of a Pharisee. Later Saul became a lawyer. He studied under the famous teacher named Gamaliel. Gamaliel was a great teacher of the Jewish law, a Pharisee and he was highly respected by everyone.
Paul’s religion was Judaism (followers of the Jewish law) but later, he became a Christian.
2. Paul was a Hebrew and a Greek. He was originally a Judaic and later a Christian (Acts 23: 6)
Paul was the son of a Pharisee who studied under the great teacher Gamaliel. Before Paul had an encounter with God, his name was Saul. He persecuted Christians, arrested many and killed some. He entered into every house and arrested men and women who were Christians. He saw Jesus as a deceiver and Christianity as a threat to Judaism. This made him hate Christians. And as such, he was determined to destroy Christianity altogether.
