While doing a study on the life of the apostle Paul, I began to wonder if he was actually named Saul after the 1st king of Israel. I began to make comparisons between the two and found several things that they had in common. The name Saul means "desired" while the name Paul means "little". It's interesting to think that Paul started off as Saul, or the one to be desired, but when God got a hold of him, he became Paul the little one. Sounds like the words of John the Baptist when he said of Christ, "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30
His original name ends in El, the Hebrew name for God. He is the only son of his father. He is sent to earth because men "lack the light to show the way." He is superhuman, but he can also suffer. At one point, he receives a stab wound in the side. He returns from a deathlike absence in order to save the world. Who is this man? It is the Superman of the new movie "Superman Returns." In short, the movie and the storyline of Superman is blasphemous. He is "another Jesus" (2Corinthians 11:4) declaring an "other gospel." Galatians 1:8-9 clearly proclaims, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
