DID PAUL REALLY GO TO THE 3^rd HEAVEN

or

WAS HE SPEAKING ABOUT JESUS?

I truly believe that the Lord is able to write what He means to say and that the Believers should understand His Word as the Anointing Teaches.  These scriptures are quite clear and you will find that Paul addressed him self in first person and the other person in the 3rd person.  I'm sure you will see that he was speaking of Jesus and not himself.  Most of us who can read English have been through class and have been taught about writing in 1^st person, 3^rd person, etc.

I = 1^st person / 3rd person = "HE", "A ONE" means someone else.

With that in mind let's just read the scriptures for what they say.  Don´t feel bad when you realize how easy it is to see and believe something just because you heard others teach it.  Many great Bible teachers of today were shocked when then really read it.  You will see the first set of scriptures without the helps, hopefully you recognize the truth without reading the second set with the helps in it.

2 Corinthians 12

 1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.   2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.  3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth.  4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

2 Corinthians 12 - with helps

  1 It is not expedient for me PAUL doubtless to glory. I PAUL will come to visions and revelations of the Lord ? NOT PAUL .  

2 I PAUL knew a man NOT PAUL in Christ JESUS *above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) PAUL SAW A BRIGHT LIGHT ACTS 9:3 "...shined round about him a light from heaven" - such an one NOT PAUL caught up to the third heaven. JESUS IN CHRIST ASCENDED TO HEAVEN -
NOT PAUL.

 3 And I PAUL knew such a man, JESUS - NOT PAUL (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) ONLY GOD KNEW IF JESUS WAS IN HIS IMMORTAL BODY OR NOT.

 4 How that he 3^rd person NOT PAUL was caught up into paradise, WHO ASCENDED TO PARADISE? JESUS, RIGHT?  and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.  PAUL WAS A MAN SO HE COULD NOT HEAR THAT WHICH WAS UNLAWFUL FOR A MAN TO HEAR.

 5 Of such an one JESUS, NOT PAUL will I PAUL glory: yet of myself I PAUL will not glory, but in mine PAUL infirmities.

  Did you know that the twisted teaching of these scriptures were perverted into getting you to believe that Paul went up to the 3^rd Heaven so that Christians could believe that it was okay to be involved in "Astral Projection"?  It is one thing to be translated by the Lord and another to endorse the ways of the demonic and witchcraft. 

2 Corinthians 5

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

 

THE EVENT THAT OCCURRED 14 YEARS PRIOR THAT PAUL WAS REFERRING TO IS

Acts 9 

1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,  2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.  3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:   4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?  5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.  6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.  7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.  8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.  9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

After I shared this deception to a Pastor who was visiting from the UK, he decided to look this up in his Bible as I was explaining that this fallacy was started to deceive the Christians into believing that "Astral Projection" was okay.  When the Pastor turned to the Scripture he found that he had previously written a note stating "Astral Projection".   He was grateful to be enlightened to the truth.

 

I hope that this helps3;

We are blessed
