How does Paul's experience demonstrate the separation of the gospel from human teaching?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's experience exemplifies that he was taught the gospel directly by revelation from Christ, not through human sources.

Paul’s journey, particularly his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, serves as a stark illustration of the separation between divine revelation and human teaching. After his transformation, instead of seeking affirmation or teaching from the apostles in Jerusalem, Paul was instructed by Christ himself. This indicates that the true gospel cannot be derived from man’s wisdom or institutions; rather, it solely originates from God. Therefore, Paul's unwavering commitment to the gospel's purity illustrates the necessity of divine revelation in understanding and preaching the gospel accurately.
