you are right and people cope around this by saying > but paul said.... paul was named saul before he changed it he never met jesus when he was alive paul was the same group that jesus rejected as not their shepherd  saul claims that 4 years after jesus ascended he came down and talked to saul in secret jesus never says he would do this in fact jesus straight up warned that deceivers would come after he's gone and that they were all warned beforehand saul contradicts jesus the churches follow saul saul murdered stephen saul said a man who was long dead baptized him i do not like saul he's also the one that says there's no jew or greek and that they are the same jesus never said this
