Did Paul report meeting Jesus' brother?

Should I report you? 

You should pray like a good  and true Christian and see if your Lord offers you some resolution

I had private religious tutor that was a Princeton Scholar. My grandfather was a Oxford Scholar. I'm more than familiar with your Christianity and it's beliefs don't interest me other than the history.  

Still waiting for you to answer the question though...

It seems to me this thread is about historical facts, not personal faith and certainly not a thread to express religious devotion.

What do you understand about what a true Christian is?

I personally believe Paul made a lot of things up. Including his vision.

Historical facts regarding Jesus in which our Bible is the source of. That is why I ask are you seeking to find him or to disprove him?

It is not all that wrong if it is truly devotional and veneration

Personally, I have already found him.

Long ago, I looked for him and found things that pointed to him, what he is, who he is, and where he is. 

I found these things in many places, not only in the Bible.

I'm not understanding what you're trying to say here. But from what you've quoted I can say to you that a flesh and blood Jesus no man will find historical evidence of that you're looking for.

As a true Christian I should probably pray for you. But, often times I'm not so good at praying for the enemy of my faith in my God. I know, I should be a better Christian.

That is not for you to say. More so when you clearly have no inkling about what is being said thus far

Not necessary, best you find better enemies to pray for. it is totally unnecessary unless you pray for yourself first. Best be a Christian first before such lofty ambitions to be better or truer Christian

Ella,

Please resist making comments like that. Ok? As a follower of Jesus, it doesn't do a good job of representing what the spirit is of where Jesus is attempting to lead us all, in my opinion.

One other thing Ella, no one here is your enemy. But in my opinion, the only enemy of a person's faith is an unwillingness to believe what's actually true.

As a true christian (Whatever that is ?) you should not consider him an enemy. Remember the whole love thy neighbour thing ?

Not to mention @Ellapennella "Love thy enemy."

 But, you shared that UFO thing  that you read from, it's not the Holy Bible. What was the name of it? It's a book that you follow and in it it has a whole other interpretation of Jesus. Excuse but those things are referred to as cults.

In the early days of Christ ministry his followers were refereed to as cults only they are not the same as off shoots of others who say they are Christ and whatnot.

What does this mean ? 

 

Jesus reportedly said that "He who has seen the Son has seen the Father."

With that statement, Jesus equates himself with God. 

If it's true, then knowing everything that's important to know about him historically, would be paramount. If Jesus is God.

Since it was also reported that many unnatural or supernatural things had occured when he was here for the benefit of the people's understandings about God, it would seem just as easy for him (God) to see to it supernaturally that the beneficial historical information about his life and teachings would also be provided for us, now that the world has fully emerged from the Dark Ages and we're better positioned to benefit therefrom.

It makes sense to me.

I love God's creation, I don't love sin, though we all fall into it. There is a greater purpose in this life and the after than anyone  of us can comprehend in our own understanding and as I have  faith in what I know to be true  that truth  is revealed to me by The Holy Spirit. So I know that it is an unforgivable sin to speak against The Holy Spirit.

eta

 So when you all look for historical evidence to prove Jesus  true or false, I wonder why , and I consider that maybe you all just haven't really tried to find the truth.

But Ella, I don't see anyone commiting blasphemy against anything here. We're just trying to discuss the true history of the life and teachings of Jesus. That's all.

Join us won't you?

I think the truth is he said "Judge not."

What do you think about Jesus's brothers that Paul wrote about?

Was he talkin about his siblings? Did Paul actually meet some of the brothers of Jesus who were also the sons of Joseph and Mary?

This would have been a big deal for Paul. Not ever having met Jesus himself before he was crucified. And not having sat at the feet of Jesus to hear for himself what he actually taught.

The Urantia Book is not a Bible.

Let's stick to the topic of the thread. 

When I read what Paul wrote it's clear to me that he's describing meeting the biological brothers of Jesus.

The promise of persecution.  Would you like to remind us all of that as well?
