Bible Question: According to Tradition (from my personal studies) Paul was beheaded and his body was buried in the catacombs. Is there any documented evidence of how he died and if there is, where can I find this material? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Sharon, apart from Paul's awareness that his time was short, Scripture does not shed any light Paul's death. We know from God's Word that Paul was eager to be with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:8)but how he passed from life to Life is not recorded. Perhaps this is a hint from God that the means to our end (earthly death)is not as important as the means to our eternal Life (Jesus!) It is important know the difference between "tradition" and Truth! I think this verse sums it up: "The prophet who has a dream may relate his dream, but let him who has My word speak My word in truth. What does straw have in common with grain?" declares the LORD. Jer 23:28 See also Ps. 119:160 Blessings, Mommapbs |
