   hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also   
   the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction". - 2 Peter 3:15

   > Acts 9:8-16 - "And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened,   
   he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.   
   And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. And there   
   was a certain    
   disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision,   
   Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said unto him,   
   Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the   
   house of Judas for one called    
   Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, And hath seen in a vision a man   
   named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive   
   his sight. Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how   
   much evil he hath done to    
   thy saints at Jerusalem: And here he hath authority from the chief priests to   
   bind all that call on thy name. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he   
   is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings,   
   and the children of    
   Israel: For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's   
   sake."   
      
   rpbc:  No religion in that, none at all.  Jesus was perhaps the least   
   religious person of all, ever.  Religions are what happens when the untaught   
   and particularly the unstable get religious.  Jesus wasn't religious at all.    
   The wisdom in and of the    
   Bible is absolutely amazing, and it starts there.
