In the book of Acts we find Paul who was then Saul.  He had just gotten permission from his superiors to go all the way to Damascus which was 136 miles.  They were given the authority to go there and bring back all the Christians that were there and they were to use force if need be.  Now I really want to make a couple of important points right here that are easily overlooked.
