I have to say that...it was as though scales fell from my eyes and for the first time in my life I believed in Jesus Christ. I truly stepped out on faith and confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. I remember having a hunger for the Word of God that intensified the more that I read it. The Bible was real and alive. I no longer viewed the Word as just another book because it changed my life. I was born again, really transformed in my spirit man. I was not even aware that God was drawing me to Christ. I just knew that the Bible is the Word of God, that Jesus is the Son of the living God. I just knew that Jesus died for my sins just like the Bible revealed, and that He rose from the dead. I just knew that God is real, and that Heaven and Hell exist. I just knew that God created the Heavens and the earth. But prior to all of this I was a sinner just like everyone else. I cursed, fornicated, lied, stole, got drunk, and so forth. I just wish that I had the power to remove the blindness over people's minds so that they could see, know, and recognize Who Jesus Christ truly is. I pray that one day everyone on this site will see Jesus for Who He is--God Almighty.

I believe it was the Holy Spirit. Technically, it was not Paul's becoming momentarily blind or the Voice that made the scales fall. The scales fell from Paul's eyes after the Lord Jesus sent another believer named Ananias so that Paul might receive his sight.
Acts 9:17-18
17 And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized
So, I believe the Holy Spirit brought about conviction in my heart and revealed the Truth to me, and testified that Jesus is Who the Bible reveals that He is.
John 16:8
And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
John 15:26
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me .
John 16:13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Does this give you the right to belittle the truth that other people have that does not match your beliefs?
