1 | Three different heavens in the Bible? | 2 Cor 12:2 | charis | 4177 | ||
Dear prayon, Though I doubt seriously that our fellow saint is thinking along Mormon lines, I must admit that I see little practical use for dwelling on the meaning of 'thid heaven.' However, there is a 'recorded event' in Paul's life that could match this statement. "Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep." 2 Corinthians 11:25 NASB. When someone was stoned, it was to death. There was no 'partial stoning.' Therefore, Paul could be talking about an experience of going to heaven and returning to life. We are not told, so no one knows for sure, but this is a possibility. Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |

2 | Three different heavens in the Bible? | 2 Cor 12:2 | melchizedekau | 4211 | ||
hello Charris, just to add a little thought. Visions are real and dreams.Paul wasnt dead but in a state of visionary involvement.The same as John when Reverlations was given and Daniel,jerimiah.isaiah,ezekiel,they were all caught up in the Spirit. But it must have been really real, that is why he didnt know if he left his body or his body went with him.Just a thought.YIC. | ||||||
