Kenneth: Fair enough. The point being that Paul provides no descriptions of Jesus that come from the real world. He provides no first-hand observations of Jesus, nor does he pass on any second-hand information about Jesus. The only statements about Jesus made by Paul are sourced from prophecies, revelation and the scriptures. Statements about Jesus being, "of David's seed", come from scriptures, they aren't information that comes from any real-world knowledge of a real person. There is nothing like, "So and so told me about the time that Jesus did X or said Y."
Every description of Jesus provided by Paul comes from prophecy, revelation or scripture and that's it.
