Re: Paul The Murderer
Paul never once admitted to personally killing anyone. He merely testified to the fact that when a death sentence was pronounced upon someone, he added his consent. He acted as judge, not executioner.
"Breathing out slaughter" doesn't mean he actually slew anyone. It merely means he, in his rampage, threatened folks with the death penalty if he should catch anyone of "The Way".
Apart from all this, whatever Paul did pre-conversion matters not. He wasn't a child of God until born from above by the Holy Spirit through the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Christ Jesus.
