Where did Paul get his revelations if he never met Jesus or the Twelve?
Paul received all his revelations from the ascended Lord after the finished work of the cross. He had no contact with the Twelve or with Christ in His earthly ministry, so his power came directly from that ascended Lord.
Les teaches that Paul never had any contact with the Twelve and never had any contact with Christ in His earthly ministry. Therefore, Paul receives all of his revelations from the ascended Lord after the finished work of the cross, and that is what gives him his power. Paul is called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God. The context also notes that Paul writes to the assembly at Corinth, the called-out assembly, not to the nation of Israel as Isaiah, Daniel, or the Twelve did.
