AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, [only] God knows--such a man was caught up to the third heaven. [Luke 23:43] |
Bible Question: 2COR 12:3 HERE THE APOSTLE PAUL TALKS OF A MAN HE NEW THAT WAS TAKEN UP TO THE 3RD HEAVEN.....ON ACTS 8:39 IT TALKS OF PHILLIP BAPTIZING THE EUNOC AND THEN BEING RUPTURED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT....IS THIS WHO THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS TALKING ABOUT IN 2COR 12:3? |
Bible Answer: Dear trujc003, Paul was talking about his own experience in a third person. Read the whole chapter and you will find that Paul humbled himself and refrained from boasting such a special revelation. Your guess on Philip is unlikely possible for Philip baptized the Eunoc around 34A.D. and Paul wrote 1 Corinthians around 55A.D. It is more than 20 years time lap in between(not 14 years).
