Just like us, Paul never met Jesus in the flesh. But he knew him intimately as a guiding light and inner voice… just like us.

Unfortunately, that will just. not work. First, it is an invention of the author of Luke-Acts. Mark and Matthew say nothing of Jesus being taken to heaven after a period of being in his "earthly" body. And in John, Jesus is a "man from heaven" from the beginning, a descending and ascending Savior figure, which is an entirely different

First, Paul had been a resident of Jerusalem as a child ( Acts 22:3) and was also there years later to approve of Stephen's stoning ( Acts 8:1 ). The presence of Paul's nephew in Jerusalem after Paul's conversion ( Acts 23:16) suggests that Paul and his family had resided there for some time. Jesus was known to have visited Jerusalem

He would "know" nothing else; that is, he would make this the central point and essence of all his knowledge, because he knew the "excellency" of this knowledge (Philippians 3:8) - knew it as the only knowledge which rose to the height of wisdom. Christ is the only Foundation (1 Corinthians 3:11). In the person and the work of Christ is

https://ehrmanblog.org/did-paul-know-what-jesus-taught-more-reflections/
There are no other obvious places where Paul quotes Jesus, although scholars have often found traces of Jesus' teachings in Paul. The big question is why Paul does not quote Jesus more often. That is a thorny issue, which will require more sustained reflection at the end of this chapter. For now I need simply to stress the most important point.

He had "spiritually been born of God" and had experienced the "mighty change" of heart of which Alma speaks (Alma 5:14). Paul wanted everyone he came in contact with to have the same type of experience. As a result, he dedicated his life to bringing the message of "Jesus Christ, and him crucified" to the world.

It was not that Paul was ignorant or uneducated, nor was it that Paul only knew about Christ and Christ crucified (verse 2). ... The only way this kind of wisdom can be known is for men to trust in Jesus Christ so that their spiritual eyes may be opened to see the wonders of the wisdom of God and the world to come.

Paul only speaks of having "visions" and "revelations" of the Lord - 2 Cor 12:1, Gal. 1:12-16. He uses the word ὤφθη (Greek - ōphthē) to equate all the appearances in 1 Cor 15:5-8. This word was used almost exclusively to denote supernatural/spiritual apparitions and the appearance to Paul was a "vision" of some sort.

It is quite inconceivable that by "Kingdom of God" and "the Lord Jesus Christ" Luke meant only justification and that Paul spent two whole years preaching exclusively on justification in Rome. (Similarly, see Acts 18:11 and 19:8-10 for long periods of preaching by Paul in Corinth and Ephesus.) THE KINGDOM IS THE CONTENT.

2. True spirituality isn't about the external. It's about the internal — connecting with God's heart by means of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. Religious traditions - which are external - can actually be harmful to our spiritual health. Paul warns against this type of false spirituality that is focused on rules, laws, traditions

Paul emphasizes freedom from the letter of the law, guided by the Spirit, while Jesus, on the other hand, underscores the timeless moral and spiritual truths encapsulated in the Law. It's a beautiful harmony of freedom and enduring principles, revealing a deeper understanding of God's plan for humanity through the lens of grace and love brought

Apollos had an inadequate understanding of Jesus Christ - he knew of Jesus only as far as the ministry of John the Baptist. He knew nothing of the death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord. Neither did he know about the events on the Day of Pentecost. The husband and wife team of Priscilla and Aquila explained things more accurately.

We're blind. In verse 6 is the solution: "God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.". There's the problem: we're blind. There's the solution: supernatural, God-given sight of glory. That's what Jacob is referring to.
