Dhoae, what you are doing is reading the Epistles with the Gospels in mind. Try not doing that, especially since the Epistles are the earlier documents. You may find that Paul and the others, according to the Epistles, are curiously unaware of Jesus having been on Earth in the recent past. Seems to me that the Gospels, the later documents, build on and change the earlier story, and that is where we finally get a Jesus unambiguously situated on Earth in the recent past.
