A:Paul certainly did not meet Jesus in the flesh, but at 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, he said that Jesus died and was buried, rose again according to the scriptures, then was seen by Cephas, then the twelve, then by more than 500, most of whom were still alive, then by James and all the apostles, and finally by himself. Here Paul implied that the appearances were all of the same nature, with no suggestion that any of the appearances to Cephas, the twelve, James or the apostles were somehow more real than the appearance he experienced. Nevertheless, it is clear from his account that this was only a spiritual experience, perhaps in a dream or vision.

Acts of the Apostles gives three separate accounts of Paul meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus. However, the accounts actually appear to have been based on the ancient play of Euripedes called the Bacchae rather than a real event in Paul's life. This alone would be enough to cast serious doubts on the explanation in Acts, but there are so many contradictions to Paul's own account that the story of meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus is unlikely to have been true.

A:No Paul never met jesus, as the christian movement started after Jesus died. A:Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Acts 9:3ff

No. He never did however, he told the world he saw Jesus in a vision [Acts 9].

A vision is like dreaming, I think.

Who was born first St. Paul or Jesus?

Jesus was born before Apostle Paul. Apostle Paul did not get to meet Jesus in person because he was either not born or too young (baby probably) Paul wrote most of his letters to Christians in the time frame between 50 A.D. and 60 A.D. and Jesus died about 20 years before.Another answerJesus the Christ is the God/Man. Being God he is from ever. He is eternal. But when the time was right God came to earth as a male child born of Mary and was named Jesus. Jesus as a human being was born about 6-4 B.C. Paul the Apostle was born possibly 6-10 A.D.


What bible verse does it say Paul never meet Jesus?

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"


Why did Paul abandon Jesus when he needed him most?

Apostle Paul did not abandon Jesus when he needed him most. In fact Paul did not even meet Jesus in person and became a "Christian" believer after Jesus died and rose again then when up to Heaven. Paul was always faithful to Jesus. Now Peter, he is another matter. He denied being one of Jesus disciples after Jesus was killed and laid to rest. He feared the people who were harassing the disciples. He did "go back to Jesus" and became the leading Apostle. See the book of Acts to see how he lived for Jesus.
