What else can I help you with?
Did Paul meet the disciples of Jesus?
Yes. In the New Testament book of Acts chapter 15 Paul meets with the leaders (some of the 12 disciples) of the Jerusalem church
Who first despised the Christian movement but then later traveled to preach Jesus message?
Paul, who wrote many of the letters or "Books" of the New Testament. Some disputed and some undisputed Pauline letters. He was some sort of Jewish Priest, until Jesus appeared to him, then he converted to Christianity and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Why did the Apostle Paul lie about seeing Jesus?
There is no reason to believe that Paul lied about seeing Jesus. He did say that he had seen Jesus, last of all, but it appears that Paul had seen a vision or a dream in which he felt he had communicated with Jesus. Some scholars say that Paul believed that Peter, James, the twelve and the apostles, as well as the 500, had all only seen the risen Jesus in visions or dreams. Thus he equated his experience with that of the others.
Why the disciples of Jesus preach the Gospel and baptize but Paul preached only the Gospel and did not baptize?
cause he is not a disciple but he is a saint dudeAnswer:Paul didn't "preach only the gospel not to baptize," because the gospel is of no effect without baptism. Galatians 3:27 - For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.In I Corinthians 1, Paul did express some relief that he himself had baptized only a few in Corinth, and made the statement, "For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect." (v.17). However, this was because those in Corinth were splitting into factions based on who taught and baptized them (see verses 11-13) rather than directing their full faith and devotion toward Jesus.To really understand Paul's statement, it helps to picture what the scene would have been like when Paul preached. Those who heard him and wanted to be baptized would have merely approached while Paul spoke, and one of his companions would have done the actual baptizing while Paul continued to preach. This is why he could say, "Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel." This doesn't mean he preached a gospel devoid of baptism; it means he preached, and others baptized.
Who first to preach to the Gentiles?
That was Saint Paul, who believed that God had given him the authority to be an apostle even though he was not one of the original 12 and had never known Jesus. Saint Paul believed that the message of Jesus was for all people, so he converted Gentiles into the Christian community. This angered some Palestinian Christians.Paul the Apostle was known as the 'Apostle to the Gentiles.' He undertook a number of missionary journeys in which he preached to the gentiles.
What moved Paul to preach to the Greeks?
Paul tells us that he realised at the time of his conversion that his mission was to preach to the Gentiles and Greeks (Galatians 1:15-16): "But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen ..."An alternative account is in Acts of the Apostles, written some decades after the time of Paul. It says that Paul originally preached only to the Jews, until after Peter proposed to the Council in Jerusalem that the Christians should preach to the Gentiles. On this account, Paul was sent to convert the Gentiles because of Peter's vision.
How does Jesus attitude toward women compare to that of Paul?
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.
Did Paul write about when Jesus began his ministry?
No. Scholars have pointed out that Paul does not seem to have realised that Jesus was a person who had lived and died in Palestine in the very recent past. Some of what Paul did write is difficult to reconcile with the gospel accounts.
Did many scholars feel that Paul was Mark's source for his writing?
A:I am not sure how many is "many," but some respected scholars have noted parallels between Paul's writings, especially 1 Corinthians and Romans, and Mark's Gospel. The reason for believing that Paul could have been Mark's source is that when these parallel sayings are found, Paul does not attribute them to Jesus but writes them as his own sayings. Had he attributed some of these sayings to Jesus, we could say that Paul and 'Mark' relied on a common source that reported the things Jesus actually said.Paul's epistles were far from the only source Mark uses for the sayings of Jesus. For example, the last words of Jesus on the cross (Mark 15:34) were from Psalm 22:1.
Was Jesus a practicing Jew?
All of Jesus's original disciples were Jews. However, Peter and Paul made the decision to preach to Gentiles after Jesus's death which is when we start seeing non-Jewish believers in the Christ.
Did the apostle Paul meet Jesus?
No, Paul and Jesus never met while Jesus was still alive. It was after Jesus rose from the dead that Jesus appeared to Paul (See 1 Corinthians 15:8). While some people interpret Paul as having a vision on the road to Damascus (Acts 9 1-6), Paul himself insisted that Jesus appeared to him in his resurrected person in his written word (See 1 Corinthians 15:8).
Did Saint Paul have any difficulties during his life?
Yes, Paul faced tremendous difficulty. Jesus prophesied that it would be so:Acts 9:16 - "For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake."Paul writes of some of the specific perils he faced in 2 Corinthians 11:23-27.
