From our Interview with N.T. Wright on the Historical Jesus, this clip answers the question: What was it about Jesus' life, death, and resurrection that changed Paul's thinking and turned him into a follower of Christ?
Jesus Is Adonai, the Son of David arisen (Jeremiah 30:9) Who will rule over the reunited whole house of Israel (Ezekiel 34:23-24, 37:24-25) and the goyim with a rod of iron as the Son of Man Whose Kingdom will never end. (Daniel 7:13-14)
For Y'shua does not consider it robbery to be equal with God, nor was He ashamed to prove His obedience as a Son. Thus, He stands as God for God to all who will trust in His Name as the Word, for God has magnified His Word above HaShem. (Psalm 138:2)
what changed Paul? a personal encounter, a meeting with the living God.
that is the ONLY way ANYONE is ever saved, for without it we have only a doctrinal stance, a doctrine.
It is what changed me from an atheist/nihilist back in 1978.
Wright's words are right, but i wonder if he actually has experienced the thing himself. I doubt it

What is the theological meaning/significance behind the phrase: "Jesus is Lord" [cp. Acts 2.36; Phil 2.5-11]
