ROMANS

Originally called Saul and persecuted the believers until he himself became one. His conversion is told in the Book of Acts.
A Pharisee and educated at the highest levels in Jerusalem. Born a Roman citizen.
Letter to Romans was dictated by Apostle Paul to Tertius. Written to the believers in Rome while Paul was in Corinth. The letter was delivered by Phebe, a servant in the church at Cenchrea (per Romans 16:1).
Paul calls himself an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin – Romans 11:1
Refers to himself as Apostle/Minister of the Gentiles – Romans 11:13; 15:16
Paul was a Scholar. Always referencing and quoting Old Testament within his writing. References to David, Isaiah and Abraham. These statements being attributed to the legends of Jewish history cannot be argued with.
