the conversion of Saul of Tarsus was very significant as if not for Saul's conversion Christianity would not exist in this Dayan age. After Saul’s conversion to Paul he because to spread the message of Jesus Christ and the Gospels, if not for this Christianity would have died out because Paul wouldn’t have spread Christianity to the thousand and thousands of people in the cities and countries he visited and all remaining Christians would have been killed, died or stopped believing. Paul's conversion involved times of bright lights and blindness and speaking to Jesus, causing him to travel on 3 journeys for 10 years.

Paul's wrote numerous letter; the purpose of this letter and his preaching was to spread the word and messages of Jesus and Christianity. The letters were mainly sent to a large group of people he had already visited and converted which had started to set up their own Christian community instead of just on individual whom he hadn’t visited. The letters were sent all over the middle east and varied in messages and topic. For example, a letter to the Corinthians was about Jew law and conversion. The letters always had the same structure; a greeting, a prayer, the message or topic of the letter and a conclusion.

Paul's letter to the Corinthians focused on the issue of Jewish law, with the main focus on circumcision. Some converted Jews believed that Gentiles had to be circumcised and pass other Jewish laws to become a Christian. Paul was completely against the idea and wrote in his letter about how converted Jew and Gentiles were all equals and shouldn’t be treated differently on account of their past beliefs. Paul's letter to the Corinthians also spoke of Jesus’s resurrection and his life after death as well as our lives after death and finding happiness and peace with God and Jesus.

St Paul's letter to the Corinthians talks about issues with Jewish law, love and peace and happiness. The letter explains how Paul believe it unacceptable to force Jewish law on converted Gentiles and that Jewish law is not a part of Christianity. Paul's first message can be interpreted today as exclusion and difference, which ties in with love, peace and happiness. I believe Paul's message says that discrimination and harassment against someone’s race, gender, past etc. is wrong and an act of bullying and hatred and cannot be tolerated from anyone, we must all love and respect all our neighbors the people around us to bring us happiness and peace.
