In this episode of _Creation's Paths_, hosts Charlie and Brian explore the profound transformation of St. Paul, from a persecutor of early Christians to one of the most influential figures in Christian history. They delve into the biblical account of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus and challenge traditional interpretations by re-examining his experience through the lens of **Merkava mysticism**, an ancient Jewish spiritual practice. The discussion highlights how Paul's theology has been misinterpreted over centuries, emphasizing his teachings of grace, liberation, and unity rather than judgment and exclusion. The episode also addresses the distinctions between Paul's authentic letters and later forgeries, the influence of imperial power on Christian doctrine, and the continued relevance of Paul's transformation for personal spiritual growth today.
