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).
Yes, although he was not a disciple of the living Jesus, he was an apostle and traditionally referred to as "the Apostle Paul" or "Saint Paul".
King Saul and Jesus were not contemporaneous: Jesus died about 32 or 33AD but King Saul died about 1010BC. However, Paul the Apostle came from Tarsus and changed his name to 'Saul 'upon his conversion.
The apostle Paul, then known as Saul of Tarsus, was said to be a "young man" following the ascension of Christ (Acts 7:58), indicating that Jesus was born into the world well beforePaul.
The apostle Paul is often credited with spreading the teachings of Jesus the farthest and most effectively. Through his missionary journeys and letters, he helped establish early Christian communities throughout the Mediterranean world.
No, the apostle Paul was not whipped in the same way as Jesus. Jesus was flogged before his crucifixion, while Paul experienced beatings and whippings on separate occasions during his missionary journeys. Both men suffered for their beliefs, but in different circumstances.
Even though Paul never did meet Jesus, he always claimed and worked for Jesus as his apostle.
The Apostle Paul was one of Jesus' followers, one of the 12 apostles. He spread the word of Jesus to people.
Jesus
No, Paul was an apostle of Jesus Christ. Apostle means, "One sent with a special message or commission". Jesus commissioned Paul as the "Apostle to the Gentiles" (Romans 11:13). Paul's ministry was in line with Jesus' doctrines. There were no conflicts.
Paul
Saul of Tarsus also known as 'Apostle' Paul.
First of all Paul was a apostle not a prophet.
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.

There is no biblical record of Jesus ordaining Paul as an apostle himself on Mount Sinai. Paul's encounter with Jesus, leading to his conversion and call to apostleship, occurred on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-19). The location of Paul's ordination as an apostle is not specifically mentioned in the Bible.
He calls himself an apostle of Jesus Christ. Eph 1:1 From Paul, who by God's will is an apostle of Christ Jesus--- To God's people in Ephesus, who are faithful in their life in union with Christ Jesus:
Saint Paul of The Bible is reffered to as an Apostle. An Apostle, more than a simple disciple, was a commissioner appointed by Jesus. In other words, what Paul taught us is mandated by Jesus the Christ! In Paul's letters, we find detailed explanations of the things of the Kingdom. The explanation of who Jesus Is, of our duties, etc.. The Apostle Paul certainly served The Lord by furthering The Gospel of The Kingdom!
