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.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.
OpinionI would say Apostle Paul wherever I use 'Apostle' as a title, in the same way as I would say Mr Smith, with 'Mr' capitalised. Less frequently, I would write 'apostle' uncapitalised if I did not intend it as a title, for example where 'apostle' is the subject of the sentence, and Paul is addressed. Use capitals to be on the safe side.
The first mention of Saul (aka Paul) is found at Acts 7:58.Actually, Paul is mentioned in the last book of John. Jesus Christ tells Peter that he will stretch forth his hand and another shall take him where he would not. He is telling Peter that he will go with Paul and die for him, finally glorifying Jesus (there is no greater love than he who dies for his brethren, as Jesus did) as he escaped death twice, once with the Centurion, and once in the Garden when he denied him 3 times. All praise to the Most High for leading me. Any questions, feel free to send me a message on Youtube under this same name. May the Father bless, lead, and keep you in his wings.
The meaning is same as disciple.
It was always Judas. The other apostle named Jude actually has the same name in the Greek original. Why the translators created the distinction is open to interpretation.
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.
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.
No, Saint Paul did not live at the same time as Jesus. Saint Paul was a Jewish man who lived after the time of Jesus and became a prominent figure in spreading Christianity through his missionary work.
It might be the same country as Jesus.
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.

Saint paul was born almost the same time christ was born
There is no Bible verse that says that, because it is not true - Paul did meet Jesus on the road to Damascus. Acts 9:1-8Besides that, Paul could not be an apostle, had he never met Jesus, because his preaching would not have the same authority. Galatians 1:11-12 "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man, for I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ"
The apostle Paul did not meet Jesus during his earthly ministry. Paul had a transformative encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus after Jesus' resurrection, which led to his conversion and becoming an influential figure in the early Christian church.
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.
Yes. There was Saul who changed his name to Paul and there was Paul the Apostle. It is believed that these were two separate men. ^^Actually Saul, whose name was later changed to Paul, is the same person as the Apostle Paul who traveled to do God's work and was imprisioned twice by the Romans.
No, after Jesus.
