If there was a real life person called Jesus – would St Paul have accepted him?
This is a very good question! Before Yeshua (Jesus) was killed and went to be with the Father, Paul (Sha’ul) did n o t accept Him. We know this because Paul was persecuting, even killing Christians and believing he was doing the right thing! Paul would certainly have known, at least in part, what Yeshua said and did. He would certaily be aware of what others said about Yeshua (in both camps, as it were). BUT, when he finally met with Yeshua (Jesus), look what happened. He fell for Him hook, line and sinker. Paul was shaken to the core, and from then on lived his life, trying to persuade men and encourage the brethren. This shows me that it was the personal relationship, being born of the Spirit that made all the difference…
