First you claimed Paul wasn't alive when Jesus was and now you claim they didn't know each other. You've changed your position. Now you're standing on your head while you try and tell us something else. Funny stuff here.
I think this over. Fascinating.
Yes, it matters. Saul rounded up believers and murdered them. Then he met Jesus who blinded him while Jesus revealed everything to Saul and then told him how to regain his sight. Saul changed his name to Paul and then said he received every word from the Holy Spirit to write 2/3 of the New Testament.
