Whether anyone did see visions I cannot prove, but the texts present the matter as though the writer thinks he and they did see Jesus Again, when I was above inquired of by GakuseiDon; I'd be interested in your best guess to what Paul is trying to tell us in these passages above: 1 Cor 9 and 1 Cor ...

I find it interesting that Paul nowhere claims to have seen any 'figure' of the resurrected Jesus. His own Epistles are strangely silent on the matter, the closest thing being the vague rambling of 2 Co 12:2-4. What about 1 Cor 9.1? "Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus ou...

No matter where it goes, 'The Gospel of Christ' is always adapted and presented by its 'pastors' in whatever fashion or form will most effectively 'Push the buttons' of the audience. Nothing like looking around for hard feelings or common complaints and then 'cherry picking' a verse or two, or a few...
