What did a seminary professor reportedly say about Paul's Damascus road experience?
A seminary professor reportedly claimed that Paul's experience on the road to Damascus was nothing more than an epileptic seizure. That kind of statement dismisses the supernatural nature of Paul's conversion, yet Paul's epistles remain the bedrock of Christian faith and the clearest source of salvation by grace through faith.
Les explains that he remembered reading where someone had quoted a seminary professor as having stated that Paul's experience on the road to Damascus was nothing more than an epileptic seizure. Les uses this as an example of the kind of statements people make concerning the Apostle Paul and his epistles. He then stresses that those epistles are the bedrock of the Christian faith, and that we have to move into Paul's epistles if we are going to get a clear view of salvation by grace, through faith, plus nothing.
