Paul never actually 'met' your Jesus character. It was a vision.

It was more than a vision. His companions on the road heard Jesus' voice.

No clear answers because neither God or Jesus had anything to do with the Bible. It's a man made creation just like religion. Originally conceived to keep the masses in line by using their sense of guilt for not obeying ..

Actually, in chapter 9 and 22 it says that the others heard him. The question is whether or not they could make out what he was saying.

Not so, it is the translation tampered apologetics excuse. Here's the other story.

I would put stock in anything anyone says if it's got a logical argument or some kind of substantiation behind it. I'm sure Dan is capable of making points and you're capable of addressing them rather than pursing an ad hominem against Dan himself. Not that you will. But you could.
