Hi, This is completely off-topic but I will ask anyway :-)
Can you tell me where your scriptual reference for the Paul being renamed by God argument is? I have often been told this but have never found anything in the Bible to back it up. Am I missing it somewhere? Regards Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Timothy R.

Although, wouldn't it be *incorrect* to refer to Paul as Rabbi Shaul (Saul), after he was renamed by God? Looking at my Greek Bible (some odd verison, and also the UBS/Nestle-Aland 26th), I can see that Paul's name (I checked a few of the Epistles) is Paulos, not Saul or Shaul. > Likewise you probably know that Jesus is > a modern translation of Yeshua, You have a better point on this one. I'd be half way inclined to translate it that way - but then again, you have to ask yourself this - should you go with the proper Hebrew and Greek names in the Bible, or the more familiar names that will make the Bible the most accessible? -Tim -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
