And why isn't that one of the "leading churches"?
Who's to say he didn't draw inspiration for those writings from himself?
The account itself states:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Apostle Wrote:while traveling on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus on a mission to "bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem", the resurrected Jesus appeared to him in a great light. He was struck blind, but after three days his sight was restored by Ananias of Damascus, and Paul began to preach that Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah and the Son of God.
What would you think of someone who would claim such a thing today?
hint: Van Gogh.
Would you trust them?
I know, I wouldn't trust their mental sanity.
