"I am pleased to see you will try to take a more mature approach to discussion. I will be even more pleased if you succeed."

You can't even go two sentences without a dig. Whatever...

What you mean and what you say are apparently two different things. Try saying what you mean and meaning what you say.

"He knew nothing personally about Jesus."

There is the statement. It is wrong according to the only documentary evidence we have. When Paul met Him is irrelevant.

<<<<No one claims that Paul knew Jesus personally before the Crucifixion>>>>

"In that case, he cannot corroborate any of the gospel stories.....Because BEFORE the crucifixion is WHEN Jesus lived and WHEN he might have had opportunity to KNOW Him personally."

Jesus rose from the dead. He was alive when he met Paul and He is alive today. Paul knew the risen Jesus and Paul did many of the same miracles that Jesus did as I already showed you but which you chose to ignore. Paul's claimers were validated by performing those miracles through the power of the Spirit. Paul was obviously aware of the source of miracles that he was performing. Those are the historical claims. No one says you have to believe that, but that is what the historical evidence points to. You don't have to shout with caps and bolding as if that will somehow straighten out the circularity of your reasoning. My comprehension skills are fine thank you very much. I know what you are saying, I just disagree with you.

The evidence points to facts that allow...

"Even the most critical historian can confidently assert that a Jew named Jesus worked as a teacher and wonder-worker in Palestine during the reign of Tiberius, was executed by crucifixion under the prefect Pontius Pilate and continued to have followers after his death."(Craig)
