Acts 26:9-11 shows Paul persecuted 'many of the saints,' not leaders specifically

Things I Didn't Know as a Complementarian: Women in Ministry part 6 00:12:20 – 00:13:21

Mike reads Acts 26:9-11 where Paul describes persecuting 'many of the saints,' punishing them 'in every synagogue,' and compelling them to blaspheme.

Paul uses the general category 'saints' (Christians), not 'leaders' or 'elders.' He went to every synagogue looking for any Christians, not specifically targeting leadership. He was motivated by rage against the movement, not strategic targeting of leaders.
