Study The Word Well

Study The Word Well

This passage is often overlooked by well meaning Pastors and teachers of the Bible. Although it seems to be a small thing, this misrepresentation of the Bible can lead skeptics further away from the Lord.

Many Pastors and teachers of the Word teach that God changed Saul’s name to Paul like He did with Abraham and Jacob. This is not the case. Saul and Paul were his names based on his two citizenships. Saul was his Hebrew name and Paul was his Roman name (I’ve oversimplified this for clarity sake). 

When people say, “God changed his name,” it opens the door for skeptics. Jesus warns us about the dangers of being the reason someone chooses not to believe. Don’t be that person. Study the Word well. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy.
