If I'm not mistaken I think other writings (non-scripture) place King Aretas residing in Petra which is in modern Jordan today. Some theologians think that during that 3 year period Paul was preaching the Gospel in Petra and surrounding areas and of course being ministered to by Christ. It is...

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1 Timothy 4:11 These things command and teach. Paul in his letter to Timothy providing instructions on proclaiming the Gospel...

Is Romans 10:9-11 false?

He must discount and remove them because they contradict his message. This is a common tactic among fringe and cult-like movements. There are some who are just the opposite, they wish to discount the Gospels and ignore them as they conflict with their hyper-grace movement. They put blinders on...

I have a wonderful Dad his name is Johnny (82 years young). He is responsible for bringing me into this world and has been a loving father. It's obvious I'm of Johnny but I'm not Johnny. I can never be Johnny. I could never provide life to myself. I really desire to be like my Dad and because of...

We are born spiritually dead (empty) and upon being born again we are filled with the Holy Spirit. Those not born again are subject to the flesh and the soul. Born again Christians are filled with the Spirit and demote the flesh now being led by the Holy Spirit and not the flesh.

Good explanation. I agree.

King Aretas was in Petra and many think that Paul would have been there for some period of time during those 3 years. I've never said there was a different Gospel but we know that changes happened after the revelation. Taking the Gospel to the Gentiles was a big big deal and getting the Apostles...

Yes, but Paul's 3 years in the Arabian desert (Petra, location of King Aretas) before returning to Damascus was before his first mission. His return to Damascus was met by opposition and the governor under King Aretas was going to arrest him but Paul was let down in a basket and escaped. All of...

Do you disagree with the timeline chart I posted?

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; I cannot understand why some are so bent on OSAS when Paul clearly says some shall depart from the faith. Some think falsely that...

Found this. When he was in Arabia I have assumed was when Christ revealed the mystery of the Gentiles to him. His first trip to Jerusalem was after that time in Arabia.

Davy, I'm going to work on a timeline of Paul's life over the next few days. He made more than one trip to Jerusalem. The first he only talked to James and Peter. I'm seeking the facts as best as can be obtained without a bias one way or the other but my understanding as of today is that Paul...

OSAS is false teaching.

Matthew 24:10-13 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same...

First off, I'm not throwing anything. We are seeking understanding and clarity in the scriptures. I'm not talking about when Jesus was on earth healing. I'm talking about after is accession into Heaven. Many times faithful followers of Christ have not been healed after seeking healing by prayer...

I agree with one Gospel. I've been trying to understand the timeline. Paul went into the desert (Arabia) for 3 years. That was before the experience that Peter had with Cornelius. I'm not convinced one way or the other about who received the revelation first, they could have received it all at...

Understand all that. I'm not saying that Paul preached grace to the Gentiles to the other Apostles but that Pauls's ministry prior was confirmation to Peter after his experience with Cornelius that Gentiles can be saved just as they are. It sounds like a light went on in Peter's head. It's...

Davy I agree about the order in Acts but does that reflect the calendar timeline? Also, Peter didn't know or understand what he was being told to do. He only knew that he was to go to Cornelius. The revelation he had was not that the Gentiles were to inherit the Kingdom. We must remember that...
