Jesus throughout his ministry made numerous predictions and foretold just about everything. Jesus says I am going Straight to God. Where does it say he is making a detour to 'Paul'? Every action is told to the Disciples, why not tell them of his return to 'Paul'? Jesus told them where he was from and where he was going All the time, why leave out a Major event like going to 'Paul' who wrote about 70% of the Gospel. Jesus did predict returning but Not to 'Paul'
"But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." [Matthew 26:29].
Why then return to Paul if Jesus himself predicted he will Not drink again until he is with his Original disciples in Heaven.
Jesus says he will Re-Appear to escort some back to Heaven, but did not do that when he appeared to 'Paul'. Jesus often predicted coming back but Only on Judgement Day.
Don't you think a event that effected 70% of the current Gospel would be foretold? Everything Jesus was going to do was foretold (going to Heaven and back) but not Jesus returning from Heaven to exclusively speak to 'Paul'.
When Jesus met Paul, it was in a vision. Christ did not leave Heaven to meet Paul physically as you are implying here. Paul was persecuting the Church and on the road to Damascus, Paul saw Christ in a vision and was converted. Paul's mission was to preach to the Gentiles, whom Jesus said the gospel would be preached to. Jesus says He will have many desciples and Paul was one of them. I don't even know why I have to prove Paul to you. Atleast Paul knew the desciples of Jesus. Muhammed came 600 years later for crying out loud.

You have no proof that the gospels were meant for a limited period of time for certain people. The scriptures we have now are the only ones we can go by. And the scriptures in the Holy Bible claim to be the final revelation of God. The first scripture to make a claim like that is the Word of God, because the Word of God comes first, then the fase revelations come.
