Did Paul hallucinate seeing Jesus? Hallucinations are private, not group experiences — Paul's companions also saw the light and heard the voice (Acts 9)

Real Historian Responds to ＂Jesus Was a Myth＂ Claims 00:52:27 – 00:53:28

Audience Q about whether Paul hallucinated his encounter with the risen Jesus

The hallucination hypothesis fails because hallucinations are private experiences — one cannot share a dream or hallucination with another person. In Acts 9 (also 22 and 26), Paul's traveling companions experienced the same light and voice as Paul, even if they couldn't understand the words. This makes the hallucination explanation insufficient for Paul's experience.
