Saul then worked for the total destruction of the church; he went from house to house arresting both men and women and sending them to prison.
Acts 8: 3

Well, then. If the apostle whose writings have taught, encouraged and exhorted Christians for almost two millennia began by intending the total destruction of Jesus’ followers, then there’s hope for anybody. There’s even hope for me.

He came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Deo gratias.
