QUESTION: Did Paul see the Lord only in a vision?
ANSWER: The details surrounding our Lord’s appearance to Paul are not
specified. However, that He was seen of Paul cannot be denied: Acts 9:17, Jesus
“appeared” unto him; Acts 26:16, Jesus “appeared” and was to “appear;” I
Corinthians 9:1 & 15:8, Paul said he had “seen” the Lord. To deny that “seeing”
the resurrected Christ was a requirement for being an apostle is, with bias, to
ignore the plain teaching of Acts 1:22. Those who reject this verse are usually
falsely holding to the misconception of modern apostles and “gift” usage today.
