1 | Three different heavens in the Bible? | 2 Cor 12:2 | prayon | 4131 | ||
This Interpretation brings up RED FLAGS for me!!!! There is only one religious group that believes in 3 heavens - The Mormons. They believe that heaven is for everyone, but consists of 3 different and distinct levels: terestial for non believers, terrestial for religious non-Mormons and backslidden Mormons, and celestial for good LDS church members only, where they may even become Gods. In an explanation for that verse in my life application bible it states that Paul was continuing his foolish boasting as he called it, by telling about visions and revelations he had from the Lord. "I know a person" means that he was speaking about himself. He explained that he didn't know if he was taken in his body or his spirit, but he was in paradise ("the third heaven"). This incident can not be matched with any recorded event in Paul's life. The concept of the 3 heavens may of been deduced from the "heavens, even the highest heaven" mentioned in 1Kings 8:27, which may of been referring to God's great omnipresence, (See Ps 139:7-16 or Is 66:1). |

2 | Three different heavens in the Bible? | 2 Cor 12:2 | melchizedekau | 4209 | ||
Hi just a note .there are three heavens just as there are three in unity and three in humans ,body, soul and spirit.The same as the Tabernacle.the third being the Holy of Holies. Gods dwelling place, as it was anyway.the Heavens are:The creation around us, air, stars etc,anything that is seen, with the eye.Then we get ;Ephesians 6:12 that is where all evil operates from also Gods angels.Then we get the Holy of Holies ;that is Gods dwelling place and where the mercy seat of Christ is,and also the throne of Grace. For we can come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find Grace to Help in time of need.i hope this cleared things up. Oh by the way im not mormon.YIC. | ||||||
