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.

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.
I do not see what you should not be able to do so. In Spanish, Jesus is a common name.
Jesus Christ appeared to Saul/Paul on his way to Damascus. Just because Paul probably did not see the actual resurrected Christ before He ascended, he did see Him at a later time, and that was enough to give Paul an apostleship. Christ appointed Paul an apostle to the Gentiles, that's you and me unless your Jewish.
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).
Paul (see Acts chapter 28).
Paul was born Saul of Tarsus around 10 A.D. and lived to about 67 A.D. He was not one of the twleve disciples, and did not meet Jesus in the flesh. After Jesus' death, Paul was hired by the Roman-controlled Temple establishment to persecute the original followers of Jesus (which did not call themselves "Christians"). On his way to Damascus, he had a vision of Jesus, who said "Paul why do you persecute me?". Paul then became a follower of Jesus (in his own way, preaching a gospel unique to his revelation, and often at variance with that of the Apostles (see Council of Jerusalem). Paul is now known for writing over half of the new testament, and is responsible for the doctrine of Salvation by Grace thru Faith in Jesus.
Jesus saw him under the fig tree (John 1:48).
They didn't. The disciples saw Jesus as a man, and God's chosen Messiah. It was the false prophet Paul who perverted the message of Jesus.
Nuts! No one can see God and live! However, they can experience God in their lives! If someone saw God, ask him how God looked like. At best they saw Jesus, the image of God before them!
Probably NOT.A:While they were contemporaries, the first recorded encounter between Jesus & Paul was on the road to Damascus when Paul (then known as Saul) was converted to Christianity, after Jesus had been crucified. You can read about Paul's encounter with Jesus in Acts 9:1-9. Given the influence and writings of Paul that helped develop and grow the Christian church, it makes no sense for there not to be another mention of the two of them meeting before Jesus died if such an event occurred. Therefore, the two never physically met, but Paul was most likely aware of Jesus' teaching and the waves it was creating.
No you certainly can not call your child Jesus in any way. First of all your child is a born sinner so he dies, . Jesus you see was absolutely sinless. That is the big difference. And I doubt if your child will die for anybody at all.
