Ummm...I don't remember Paul being there at the time.

That is because Paul was not a Church official at the time. It is quite likely that he hadn't even heard of Jesus at this time, before the Crucifixion. Paul was in Tarsus, and not involved in day to day Jerusalem politics.

Okay....knew that...but the point, I thought, was that the reason Jesus did not leave us writings of his own teachings was because he would be sending the Holy Spirit to reveal truth and bring to remembrance those things he did teach in order for us all (the church) to know God's word of truth. You do admit that Paul was lead by the Holy Spirit in his epistles to the churches, right?
