What claim did Paul and the writers of the Gospels make about Jesus?
Isainavagp3748
When the Apostle Paul taught in Antioch in the Roman province of Galatia, he spoke a lot about Jesus. Paul explain that Jesus when being condemned to death by the rulers in Jerusalem and that even that it had been foretold by the prophets, he also talks about the many eyewitness evidence of Jesus resurrection. Paul's explanation was that by resurrecting Jesus from the dead, Jehovah confirmed that this one was indeed the Messiah and the Son of God. This indeed warmed all of his disciples and about the forgiveness of sins, which was made possible by faith in Jesus which would lead to everlasting life. (Scriptures about what Paul's word said about Jesus: Acts 13;16-41,46,47; Romans 1:4)
The others writers of the Gospels also gave a good witness about Jesus too. In fact, the historical evidence that is found in the Gospels demonstrates that Jesus was indeed the Messiah. You see, persons in the first century, who were in position to question the witnesses and examine the evidence, accepted the historical information as authentic. They were so sure of its accuracy that they were willing to endure persecution and die on behalf of their faith based on that assured information. The historical Gospel records show that various individuals openly acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ, or Messiah. (Read Matthew 16:16; John 1:41,45, 49; John 11:27)
Also Jesus did not say that they were incorrect, and on occasion he admitted being the Christ. (Read Mathew 16:17; John 4:25,26) Sometimes Jesus would not say pointedly that he was the Messiah; at times he directed others not to publicize it. (Read Mark 8:29, 30; Mark 9:9; John 10:24, 25) Since Jesus was present where people could hear him and see his works, he wanted them to believe on the solid basis of this evidence, so that their faith would be founded on their own eyewitness view of the fulfillment of the Hebrew Scriptures (New Testament). (Read John 5:36; John 10:24, 25) Now the Gospel record of what Jesus was and did has been provided along with the Hebrew Scriptures (New Testament), which supplied abundant information about what he would do, so that individuals like you and I, may know and believe that Jesus is indeed the Messiah. (Read John 20:31)

How many writers in the New Testament knew Jesus personally?
None of them, though He (Jesus) did appear to Saul/Paul.
Is there only one mention in the Gospels of a meeting between Jesus and the apostle Paul?
No as Paul never knew Jesus at all, the simple reason being that Paul the apostle came much later , after Jesus was crucified and he had also risen from the dead by then. Paul was called Saul in his early years.
What does New Testament contain?
The new testament contains the teaching of Jesus, and the books of Paul and the four gospels mainly.
How many cases of resurrections are there in the new testament?
There are 27 counting Jesus as well as paul, some are repeated in the gospels.
Who among those whose Gospels appeared in the New Testament walked with Jesus?
The Gospels Mattew, Mark, Luke, and John were supposedly written by their titular author. These people were disciples of Christ. The remaining books in the New Testament were written by the apostle Paul, who only met Christ in a vision in the book of Acts. The remaining books are not considered gospels, however. Of the 4 Gospel writers, all of them were followers of Jesus; I presume they all literally walked with Him.

Did Judas see the resurrected Jesus?
A:In Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, written long before the first of the gospels, the risen Jesus appeared to the twelve (1 Cor 15:3-8) which can only mean that for Paul, Jesus was not betrayed by Judas Iscariot.The gospel story required a traitor, and that traitor was Judas Iscariot. In the gospels, when the risen Jesus appeared to the disciples, he appeared to the eleven. It would be inconceivable that the other disciples would have kept Judas in their midst to be seen by the risen Jesus. Now, Judas did not see Jesus.
What was Paul's philosophy on Christianity?
The theological aspect is the claim that Paul transmuted Jesus the Jewish Messiah into the universal (in a wider meaning "catholic") Saviour.
Paul reaction to the fate of Jews who reject Jesus?
I answer this as an observant Jew, and not a Christian. Paul was trying to convert people in the Roman Empire. So, he could not hold the Romans responsible for the cruxifition of Jesus (which is historical fact). So, the gospel writers and Paul transfered the responsibility for the crucifition from the Romans to the Jews. Paul, who never knew Jesus, took his new religion to the non-Jews of the Roman Empire. James, brother of Jesus, and Peter continued to practice Judaism in Jerusalem and disagreed with Paul and his changes to the mission of Jesus. So, it is understandable that an ego maniac like Paul would respond negatively to any Jew who refused to accept his new religion. Jesus was born, raised, and died a Jew. Jesus did not found Christianity. Peter and the apostles did not establish Christianity. Paul, who never knew Jesus, and disagreed with those who knew Jesus, founded Christianity. To a Jew, Paul's claim that Jesus was God incarnate is blasphemy! Moshe David ben Avraham
How did Mark find Jesus?
The Bible is silent on this but as a follower of both Peter and Paul, he soon became quite familiar with Him, writing the first of four Gospels.
How were the writers of the gospels linked to Jesus?
Matthew was a former tax collector who was a disciple of Jesus.Mark was the son of Mary of Jerusalem (not Mary the mother of Jesus). He came to know Peter the disciple as his major source of information about Jesus. It is uncertain if he ever met Jesus in person, although he probably knew about him.Luke was a gentile physician and a traveling companion of Paul. He talked with Mary as the source for his infancy narratives. He also used other sources for his Gospel but it is unlikely he ever met Jesus personally.John was Jesus closest personal acquaintance and the 'beloved disciple'.
Where can the parables of Jesus be found?
The stories of Jesus' apostles are found throughout the New Testament, most notably in Acts. The apostle Paul also chronicled stories of Christ's disciples in the book of Romans and his letters to various churches, such as the Ephesians, Phillipians, etc...
