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.

Where do you start to research the life and times of Jesus Christ?

In my opinion you start by picking up the Bible New Testament but first start with the following verses - to allow you get the picture painted in the Bible about Jesus.John 17:3 - Here Jesus confirmed that there is "ONLY ONE TRUE GOD" and that Jesus was sent (as a Prophet) by that One God. Not my words they are there in the Bible.Then read Mark 12:29 where Jesus was asked which is the most important in the Law Jesus replied: "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord 'OUR' God, the Lord is ONE.Then read John 20:17 - Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to 'my' Father and 'YOUR' Father, to 'MY God' and your God.'"The above verses should allow you (hopefully) identify words 'spoken by Jesus' as against those 'words spoken for Jesus' after the vote in 325 AD. If you want to find out the truth join the 'truth seekers' and find out for yourself.Search for Arius, Bishop Alexander, Athanasius, The Nicene Creed,The Dead Sea Scroll conspiracy.What chapter did the original Gospel of Mark ended,why was the New Testament arranged the way it was arranged even though the Epistles of Paul was written before any of the Gospels.To find out why Paul Epistles is markedly different from Jesus' Gospel compare: Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles [Matthew 7:16, Luke 6:44] with what 'Apostle' Paul said in Romans 3:7 - For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?In my opinion 'Apostle' Paul seems to be saying that it is possible to gather grapes from thorn bushes.
