Are you perhaps committed to the later gospel depictions instead of reading Paul on his own? Paul's letters, were in fact written, before"I saw Jesus just like you guys did! Can I join the apostles now?!"
4. Throughout the entire Pauline corpus he only says that the Risen Jesus was experienced in "visions" and "revelations" so we have no reason to think that the disciples experienced Jesus in a way more physical than that.
Is there a reason you feel Paul would have been specific if we assume the appearances were in fact different?
and never anything more physical than that? Paul does not say "Jesus appeared to me in a vision only whereas the appearances to the others involved touching a physically
revived corpse that later flew to heaven" - that distinction is never made.
