"Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not SEEN JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD? are not ye my work in the Lord?" 1 Cor. 9:1.
"After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all HE WAS SEEN OF ME ALSO, as of one born out of due time." 1 Cor. 1:7,8.
DIRECT EVIDENCE of Paul's apostleship.
Another thing:
"In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL." Rom. 2:16.
Perhaps you should take Paul's EVIDENCE a bit more seriously. As you WILL be judged ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL COMMITTED TO HIM. And THAT'S DIRECT EVIDENCE of his apostleship and calling from the Glorified Christ.
“DIRECT EVIDENCE of Paul’s apostleship.”
Yes, direct evidence of Paul’s apostleship.
Direct evidence of Christ? No. Indirect evidence of Christ, yes.
“Perhaps you should take Paul’s EVIDENCE a bit more seriously.”
Do you believe that it’s important that there were multiple witnesses to Christ’s death and resurrection and his ascension into heaven? I do. And that’s why these are the basis of our faith.
“And THAT’S DIRECT EVIDENCE of his apostleship and calling from the Glorified Christ.”
Absolutely. It is indirect evidence of Christ.
