Biblical answer: Yes, although he was not a believer while Jesus was on Earth. He actually was highly opposed and persecuted Christians for a few years. Then the resurrected Jesus appeared to him, blinded him (he was later cured), and called him to be an apostle. This was only a few years after Jesus' death, but we don't know how old Paul was at the time. We do know that he was a highly educated Jew that was given authority by the Jewish religious leaders of the time to seek out Christians and try to stop their preaching. So he would have been an adult, and would have been alive during Jesus' life. The account of Paul's conversion is in Acts chapter 9.

∙ 8y agoMany biblical scholars now believe Jesus lived between late September to mid October 5/4 BC (Jewish New Year during this timeframe) and died on Passover day (Jewish days start and end at sunset) 27 Apr 31 AD. Saul who became the Apostle Paul is believed to have lived between 5 AD and May 67 AD. So Paul was a young man when Jesus walked the land but was not a follower then.

No, after Jesus.
Did Paul the apostle was whipped the same was like Jesus?
No, the apostle Paul was not whipped in the same way as Jesus. Jesus was flogged before his crucifixion, while Paul experienced beatings and whippings on separate occasions during his missionary journeys. Both men suffered for their beliefs, but in different circumstances.
Did Jesus and Moses live at t he same time?
Moses lived about 1360 years before Jesus. However, in spite of that distance in time - and death - Moses and Jesus met up on the Mount of the Transfiguration while Jesus was on Earth. You be the judge whether or not they 'lived' at the same time.

Jesus did not have problems with women and treated them equal as the same with Paul. He also had no problems with women and appointed some of them in the cause.

What is the tradition of giving gifts?
Jesus Christ gave us life. He wants us to live. He was so giving Saint Paul said to give to others in the name of Jesus. No one really knows when we stopped doing it in the name of Christ but the intention is all the same.
Where in the Bible was Paul crucified upside down?
Paul was not crucified upside down, he was beheaded. Peter was the apostle that was, as he said he did not deserve the same death as Jesus.
What role did Jesus and Paul play in the early history of Christianity?
Apart from their obvious roles as Messiah and Apostle, scholars have long debated the apparent mismatch between the teachings of Jesus and Paul. One normal way of stating it is that Jesus preached about God but Paul preached about Jesus. Or, Jesus announced the kingdom of God and Paul announced the Messiahship of Jesus. Also, Jesus called people to a simple gospel of repentance, belief, and the practice of the Sermon on the Mount while Paul developed a complex theology of justification by faith, something Jesus never mentioned. Some say that Jesus preached a wonderful universal message and that Paul scrunched it back into the small distorting framework of his Jewish, rabbinic mind. Others say that Jesus preached a pure Jewish message and that Paul falsified it by turning it into a Greek, philosophical and even anti-Jewish construct. In defense of Paul here, he thought of it this way: Jesus was the Composer and he was the conductor or Jesus was the Architect and he was the builder. Paul was explicitly honouring Jesus by not saying and doing the same things but by pointing people back to Jesus' own unique achievement.
Who was born around the same time as Jesus?
John the Baptist.
What time frame did Saint Paul live in?
Saint Paul the Apostle lived during the first century AD. He was likely about the same age of Jesus. He presumably died in one of the Roman persecutions of the Church in about 68 AD.
Did Jesus and the apostle Paul live at the same time?
A:Jesus is generally believed to have been crucified between 30 and 33 CE. Paul's conversion must have been no later than the early thirties, in other words very soon after the crucifixion. One of the paradoxes of the Book of Acts is that Actssays that Paul was educated in Jerusalem by Gamaliel I, who flourished in Jerusalem around 20-50. On the other hand, as Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says, Paul's letters do not suggest that Paul had seen Jesus during the public ministry or at the crucifixion, and so implicitly cast doubt on Paul's continuous presence in Jerusalem in the years 26-30/33. Paul seems unaware that Jesus lived and died in Palestine during his own lifetime.A:Yes, he did. The New Testament introduces Saul of Tarsus (later known as the apostle Paul) as a "young man" at the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:58), which took place not long after Jesus' ascension.
