Following your comments, you're obviously using "met" as to have especial knowledge after having met someone personally -- i.e. having more insight or knowledge about a person because of said "meeting"
ya know, shaking hands, sitting down, having a(t least one) conversation with?


To expand a bit:
Your contention was "Paul said he personally met Jesus",
then you imply that this so-called "meeting" :eyes: was in-depth, at least as to Paul having more of an insight into Jesus & what He said and what His actions were over anybody else that didn't "meet" Him.

"Meeting" Jesus, to Saul, was being stuck blind on the road to Damascus, then hearing a disembodied (this was post crucifixion, remember?) voice from the sky say: 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?'.
And there was no Pentecostal moment there, as Jesus appeared among the Apostles... nor was there a St. Thomas flesh-probing;

just the voice, after being struck blind.


That is the extent of their "meeting".


That's "met"?! Highly disingenuous.
