Garee, are you denying that Jesus told Paul that He was sending him to the Gentiles TO OPEN THEIR EYES.........

"But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me." ~ Acts 26:16-18

I get it... Duh, somehow or other I thought you were referring to the conversion from spiritual death to eternal life that Saul experienced on the road when the light of God's countenance blinded him.

When looking at that verse you have offered, are you saying that Paul of himself has the authority to to enlighten the eyes of the hearts of others, or would that be a work of the Spirit that reveals the things of God, and that work of faith, labor of Love is not revealed by flesh and blood at all?

Looking at the phenomena of opening of our spiritual eyes, it does say in regard to those who are set aside for the purposes of God by the faith of Me, referring to the Spirit of Christ, I believe.

Are you saying the Me is Paul in that verse ?
