The faith that he once tried to destroy was the teaching that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Not long after Paul was converted on the Damascus road he preached the following message to the Jews:
"And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.....proving that this is the very Christ" (Acts 9:20,22).
When he preached that he was preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy. DUH!
At that time Paul had not yet received the gospel which he was to preach among the Gentiles. He wrote the following:
"But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus" (Gal.1:15-17).
When Paul received a gospel from the Lord Jesus on the Damascus road he immediately went to Damascus (Acts 9:6-8). But when he received the gospel which he preached among the Gentiles he went immediately into Arabia. That can only mean that two different gospels were preached during the Acts period.
Of course these facts are WAY above your understanding since you think that at Luke 9:6 the Twelve were preaching salvation through the death of the Lord Jesus even though at that time they didn't even know that he was going to die! DUH!
Your lack of understanding of scripture is amazingly obtuse.
1. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God
2. that he is the Son of God.....proving that this is the very Christ
They say the same thing Jerry but the errors you are in will not allow you to see or understand that.
No matter how you distort and change the word of God there is only one gospel. You are beginning to sound like " hath God said " ?
