...to compel him to repent.

When Jesus appears to people in all his glory, as he did with Saul, do you believe that there is a single person that can reject him?

I don't.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He never stops seeking the lost until they are found and when Jesus appears in all his glory to a person there is no chance that they will reject him.

Do you agree?

Yes, there is a possibility of people rejecting Him. Otherwise, everyone would be saved. But I think He appears to those He foreknew would accept Him. He knows who will believe on Him and who will reject Him.

Saul never murdered one of the 12 apostles; he, however, did stand by and watched the stoning of Stephen, a deacon.

Which apostle did Saul murder? We are told that while Stephen, a deacon, was being stoned to death, Saul looked after the cloaks of those doing the stoning, but not that Saul actual murdered anybody.

I am indeed mistaken. Thank you for correcting me.

I edited my erroneous title.
