Who does Les think are the two greatest men in history besides Christ?
The two greatest men in history besides Christ are the Apostle Paul and Moses. Paul carried Christianity to the Gentile world, and Moses stands alongside him as having the greatest impact on human history. These two men, next to Christ Himself, are regarded as the greatest men who ever lived and had the greatest impact on all human history.
Les teaches that next to Christ Himself, Paul and Moses are the two greatest men who ever lived and had the greatest impact on human history. He points to a news magazine cover story that pictured men who made an impact on history, and he loved that the Apostle Paul was included as one of the greatest, credited with introducing Christianity. Normally people say Jesus Christ introduced Christianity, and Jesus is the foundation and basis of it, but it was the Apostle Paul who took it out to the Gentile world. In the surrounding context, Israel is rejecting everything concerning the Christ, and Saul of Tarsus is introduced holding the garments of those stoning Stephen.
