Proofs that Paul did not truly Meet Jesus

outside Damascus
We have written several articles that state individual examples
of what proves Paul did not meet the true Jesus outside
Damascus. It was an imposter. Now we will collect all these
individual proofs in one article so you can see the collective
force of the strength of the position we have previously taken.
In logic, you can know you have reached the correct
conclusion when the evidence from multiple angles all
independently point to the same conclusion. Thus, by
combining all these proofs in one article, you can more clearly
see the unassailable nature of this contention.
Proof One
Jesus warned in his talk to the apostles at the Mount of Olives
that many imposters will come in his name saying they are
Himself, but do not believe them if someone claims to have
seen Himself in a wilderness place or in a private room. Jesus
says the distinction of how he will reappear on earth is that
when it's truly him every eye will see Him from every point
East and West. See our article on Matthew 24:5 to 7, 23-
27. Paul in Acts 9:1-11 in the wilderness outside Damascus
met someone saying "I am Jesus." Those with Paul saw no one
but heard the voice. This fits Jesus' warning to a tee.
Proof Two
Immediately after Paul's experience with someone saying "I
am Jesus," Paul wanted to go to Jerusalem to try to see the
apostles. But the Jesus whom Paul met outside Damascus
appears to Paul in a trance (recounted in Acts 22:17) who tells
Paul to depart from Jerusalem because the church there -- the
12 apostles in context -- will not believe Paul truly met Jesus.
But this makes no sense if it were truly Jesus, because Jesus
could always speak through the Holy Spirit to the 12 to tell
them that Paul is truly a follower of the true Jesus. Only a
false Jesus would ever tell Paul to not go to
Jerusalem because the 12 would not believe Paul's story. A
false Jesus would not want Paul to talk to the 12 apostles
because they would give him the imposter criteria which the
true Jesus gave them that would've clearly excluded the
possibility that Paul had met the true Jesus outside Damascus.
So in this instance Paul departed Jerusalem, and never was
explained the sign of the Son of Man coming on clouds of
glory which would've let Paul realize he was being duped by a
false Jesus. See articles (1) Paul's Trance; (2) Odd Message of
"Jesus' in Paul's Trance; and (3) Paul Did Not Know the Son
of Man Prophecy Which Would Have Protected Him.
As we explained in our article on the importance of Paul not
going to meet the 12 early on, Paul never heard the Son of
Man criteria which filters out the Jesus Paul met as false. We
wrote:
Paul himself admits this at the time he wrote Galatians
more than 20 years after becoming a Christian. Paul said he
declined to listen to the twelve apostles, preferring instead
his direct revelations from the Lord Jesus whom he met
during that first experience. In Galatians 1:12, Paul
explained: "I did not receive it from any man, nor was I
taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus
Christ." In Galatians 2:6, talking of the twelve apostles,
Paul says:
But from those who were reputed to be somewhat
(whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God
accepteth not man's person)-- they, I say, who were of
repute imparted nothing to me: (Galatians 2:6 ASV.)
Proof Three
Would the true Jesus have inspired the following blasphemies
that we find clearly in the writings of Paul?
1. God supposedly will send a delusion on people to believe a
lie and remain lost, when the true Jesus says that God will
seek out the lost sheep to bring them to salvation. See Paul's
Words Supporting Blasphemies
2. The Law is so thoroughly abrogated that there's nothing
unlawful in itself, but they're only things inexpedient to do.
This is a terrible immoral principle that undermines
all morality. See Are These Immoral Teachings in Paul's
Writings?
As a result, Paul contradicts Jesus' three statements to his
church not to eat meat sacrificed to idols, and instead Paul
says that it is permissible to eat such meat unless it is
inexpedient to do so such as when you're in the presence of
someone who's weak about this issue and believes he truly
should not eat meat sacrificed to idols. See Paul's
Contradiction of Jesus on Eating Idol Meats.
And on the same rationale that expediency is the test of right
and wrong, Paul taught that he knows every day of the week is
the same, so that there is no particular day of rest. Thus, if you
want to rest, don't worry about resting on the day of rest - the
Sabbath- in the 10 Commandments. Paul specifically told
this to Gentiles although this is the one command that God
consistently said not only in the law but in the prophecies
about a new covenant that the Gentiles should obey as a
condition of their salvation. See Paul Abrogates the Sabbath
Command.
Proof Four
When approximately 17 years after Paul became a believer in
Jesus, he went to Jerusalem, even though a prophet Agabus
and other believers speaking through the Holy Spirit,
according to Luke, told him not to go to Jerusalem. On this
trip, Paul's traveling companion defiled the temple by entering
it in an uncircumcised state. In this instance, why didn't the
true Jesus who Paul supposedly knew tell Paul that these other
Holy Spirit messages were indeed to be obeyed? If Paul were
truly in such normal contact with Jesus, how could Paul
disobey the Holy Spirit in this way? See our article
on Trophimus.
Proof Five
When Paul is being afflicted by a stinger sent by Satan, he
asked the Lord to release him from it. But the Lord whom Paul
assumed was Jesus said "my grace is sufficient for you."
Why would the true Jesus leave Paul subject to a stinger of
Satan? Only a false Jesus serving Satan would leave Paul
afflicted by Satan's stinger. See our article Why Would Jesus'
Not Remove An Affliction of Satan upon Paul?
Proof Six
Paul is endorsed by the influential and popular demon, the
Python priestess at Philippi in Acts 16. She specifically
endorses his "plan of salvation." Paul lets this go on for
several days without interrupting her. See our article The
Python Priestess Endorses Paul.
Why would a popular demon spirit of Python endorse Paul if
he was a representative of the true Lord Jesus Christ?
This would represent a kingdom divided against itself. Thus, it
logically follows that this could not possibly be the true Lord
Jesus who Paul followed and was teaching a plan of salvation
approved by demons. We are forced to ask: who gave Paul the
plan of salvation which the demon endorsed? The answer is
obvious.
Proof Seven
Paul numerous times contradicts the Lord Jesus Christ. See
our article Paul's Contradictions of Jesus. Can the true Jesus
possibly contradict himself through Paul? Obviously not.
Ironically, Paul himself said anyone who contradicts the Lord
Jesus Christ is a man of pride. 1 Tim. 6:3-4, discussed at
this link. The best explanation for these contradictions is that
Paul did not meet the true Lord Jesus Christ.
Conclusion
There are many more such proofs, but these are the top seven.
Hence, when multiple angles point to the same conclusion --
that Paul did not meet the true Jesus Christ -- we can with
confidence conclude that is the truth. This means Paul met an
imposter Jesus outside Damascus in the wilderness, as warned
by Jesus in Matthew 24:4-5, 24-27.
