What did a quoted seminary professor say about Paul's experience on the road to Damascus?
A quoted seminary professor reportedly claimed that Paul’s experience on the road to Damascus was nothing more than an epileptic seizure. This was cited as an example of dismissive statements about Paul and his epistles, which are described as the bedrock of the Christian faith and key to salvation by grace through faith plus nothing.
Les explains that this quotation was remembered from someone who had quoted a seminary professor, who stated he thought Paul’s experience on the road to Damascus was nothing more than an epileptic seizure. Les uses it to show the kind of dismissive statements people make concerning the Apostle Paul and his epistles. He notes that if people were already ignoring Paul’s epistles at the turn of the century, today many even say Paul’s epistles should not be in our Bible and think he was a nut. Yet Les insists Paul’s epistles are the bedrock of our Christian faith, and we must move into them to get a clear view of salvation by grace, through faith, plus nothing.
