Was the Apostle Paul a former terrorist?

What you chose to answer in each post is telling, imo. You took the easy way out, twice. By all means, judge by what you see, then, and disregard Scripture when it suits you.

i mean, pardon me, but aren't you essentially advising me to fear evil?

In the old west there were plenty of preachers who carried guns.
There are even pictures of preachers with rifles.
apparently they had no problem preaching while having a rifle in their wagon.

There's a scene in a 1968 movie called "Five Card Stud" where Robert Mitchum plays a preacher with a gun hidden in his Bible. Dean Martin, who is the local terrorist, notices that Mitch has the Bible upside down. "If that IS a Bible," he says, "read it. If that ain't a Bible, drop it."


WATCH NOW

Well, you can't win 'em all. But you can come better prepared the next time, which is what Mitchum does in "The Wrath of God." This time, he's a priest with a gun concealed inside his Bible. And when the bad guys make him drop the Bible, he falls back on his reserves: a switchblade in his cross. He is no ordinary priest.
