[QUOTE="AlexBP, post: 57077111, member: 261211"] The life story of Paul is that first he persecuted the Christians, then on the road to Damascus Jesus Christ appeared to him and converted him, then he spent several days in Damascus with the Christians there, then escaped and went into hiding for three years, then to Jerusalem to study with Peter and the other apostles, then on his missionary journies, then after 14 years elapsed he went back to Jerusalem at which point the conflict between Paul and Peter occurred. So the Gospel that Jesus died and was resurrected, Paul claims to have by revelation, but at the same time he readily acknowledges receiving further knowledge about the life and teachings of Jesus from tradition. His use of the words "received" and "delivered" follows a traditional formula for the transmission of information from one person to another to another. All of this is discussed at great length [URL="http://www.bede.org.uk/price4.htm#paul"]in this article [/URL]which makes abundantly clear that Paul was saying that received information from the apostles and passed on traditions, creeds, and so forth that he'd gotten from the church. If you are willing to read that article and respond to what it says, then I'll take seriously your claims about the sources of Paul's information. [/QUOTE]
