Saul/Paul only heard a voice...
But at other times (following this event) Paul did see Jesus Christ on several occasions in visions and when he went to Heaven (after he had been stoned to death).
1 Corinthians 9:1
Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
Acts 14:19
Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
Actually Paul had died but the Lord sent his spirit back into his body (just like other people who have died and come back to life by God's power). Hey, if your work is not done on this earth then God will send you back. Paul's work was not complete after he had been stoned to death so God brought him back to preach the gospel. Glory to God!
2 Timothy 4:17
But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
Acts 23:11
But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.”
Galatians 1:12
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Paul (the apostle) received his knowledge of the gospel from Jesus Christ by revelation.
2 Corinthians 12:2
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven.
Paul (the apostle) was taken to Heaven.
Acts 20:24
But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Paul (the apostle) received his call to the ministry from Jesus Christ.

Curious, how would someone know that Paul met with Jesus in Heaven after being murdered? It would stand to reason that Paul had to come back right?

But...that...is what I previously/already said. Re-read my post. I said that Paul the apostle's spirit was returned to his body.

Would you ask God to grant me 800+ years of life like he has with others in the past? I really want to see other outer-worldly civilizations.
Originally posted by JesusIsAliveYou're assuming Paul had died. Also anyone can say I talked to god or the lord or angels for that fact......We do in our heads and prayers......It doesn't mean god is being visible......and of course Paul had no wittiness did he.........It's just his word anyway.....I could also say that that last night I talked to an old ancient Native American ancestor that had died long ago.........would YOU believe me?

I'm sure but isn't Paul the author of the passages quoted........He was a mithra fanatic, who forged his own religion.............Paul is a Roman name......Mithra was huge in Rome.

Debbiejoe, people who are stoned normally die. Paul had been stoned and dragged outside of the city, the supposed him to be dead.
