For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

Paul was just One writer of letters in the New Testament. He happened to have a personal conversion experience unlike most other Christians at the time.

why do you fail in every thread to mention Pauls direct revelation(moment he first believed) was an AUDIBLE voice from out of thin air/heaven that said-Saul, "I am Jesus" of Nazareth whom you are persecuting -then the Spirit comes into play

I'm confused. What is the conspiracy here? Are you saying that the Pauline letters predate the Gospels so they don't count?

No further evidence is required to demonstrate that, whatever 'revelation' it was that Paul received, it certainly was not from the Creator...

Well, is there any question that the Earth is the domain of Satan? That everything in the human world is precipitated at the hand of Satan?
It's our challenge to escape from this world, is it not, through the Resurrection, thereby defeating Death and Satan and Hell and leaving it all behind? Jesus as Christ showed us the escape route. He demonstrated the procedure for defeating Satan and ascending to Heaven.
It's a tough path, but that's the lot of true Christians.
Now, if it's you're contention that the Catholic Church is Satanic, then I'm with you. Of course the Church is a spawn of Satan. This is his world. I doubt Christ would recognize the Church, but I think Christ and the Holy Spirit come to us in spite of the Church. — Doc Velocity

Ever read the Gospel of Mary?
It might be a good idea if you did.
You would understand that even the male apostles of Jesus had fundamental misgivings about the Knowledge Revealed through the Vision of the "Son of man"--especially when coming out of the mouth of, horrors, a woman.
In the Gospel of Philip, by the way, it is stated very clearly that Jesus loved Mary more than the other disciples "...kissing her often on her mouth."
(No wonder most people have not read the Gospel of Philip.)
Ever heard of the Gospel of Thomas?

Thumbs up!
That is the best description of belief that I have ever seen!
Thank you for being bluntly honest with that descriptive answer.
