The
Creator's plans are highly integrated
with His purpose for man:.1Corinthians
2:9; Hebrews 2:5-8; 1:5.
Our Creator has chosen to utilize humans to do spiritual
work.(Acts
9:15).and
uses angels to assist man in growing
spiritually.
Paul after his conversion.(Acts
9:1-21).went
to
be alone to be taught by Emmanuel
the Christ, after Emmanuel's resurrection:.Galatians
1:15-18 "But when it pleased God who separated me from my mother's
womb and called me by his grace
to reveal his Son in me that I might let others know him as was my
habit
to do, immediately I conferred
not with flesh and blood, neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which
were apostles before me. But I went into Arabia and returned again unto
Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter and
abode with him fifteen days."
Paul's meditative state
is talked about as being in a trance.
Paul received many revelations from the Creator while in his trances:.2Corinthians
12:7; Acts 16:9; 22:17-21.
In these times Paul was with
the
great oversoul we call Christ:.Acts
26:16.
Paul also is pretty sure
that he had an out of body experience:.2Corinthians
12:1,2. Some call this 'astral level travel'. A group called 'Ekankar'
believes in the astral level one could use for out of body traveling. But
actual 'soul' travel is better and doesn't have the dangers astral travel
does, as that's the level the dark side ones inhabit. Soul travel is using
your spirit by means of the
Soul.

many following gene, put in the Subject line of your email, where you're

Paul's detailed life is recorded
in this book.
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby.(ppquimby.com).was
one who 'traveled' and could be in two places at once. He was a doctor
who couldn't back then in the 1800's get to those who needed him in the
dead of winter, so he would sit in his living room and show up in the house
where he was needed.
Paul
called himself the."chief
of sinners".(Romans
7:14-25; 1Timothy 1:15),
yet knew he would receive a great reward because of the righteousness
of Christ in him thanks to the
grace of God. He knew scriptures the earlier apostles wrote, such as.John
3:17. And Paul was a master of the Old Testament and knew the mercies
of the Creator-Father in heaven, such as in the life of the
murderer David, the prostitute Rahab
and many
others. God is a God of great mercy:.Numbers
14:18; 1Kings 3:6; Psalms
145:8; Titus 3:3-7.
Paul knew about his sins
no longer counting with his Creator and he had apparently
done a lot more sinning than most of us do:.Acts
22:19,20; 26:10.
So, what
if an individual still sins?
Paul's.(and
Emmanuel
too).appearance
was not immediately impressive: 2Corinthians
10:1. And he apparently did not see all too well either:.Galatians
6:11. This may have been his."thorn
in the flesh":.2Corinthians
12:8. Tradition has it that he was bald.
Paul was divorced or widowed
at this time. He was earlier, before his conversion
and from many indications, a high ranking member of the Jewish Sanhedrin
and one of great authority, authority of such that he was regarded by the
high priest as duly
dedicated to carry out and protect all aspects
of the ancient law. At this point in Paul's
life, he was absolutely sure that he was correct in what he was doing based
on what he had learned, but he was woefully
wrong in these early days:.Proverbs
14:12. What was his thinking
that was so wrong?
If Paul was a member of
this high ranking body, perhaps Paul was just under the high priest in
authority and/or certainly he would have been a ranking member of the council
because of his supreme learning ability which led to his impeccable
qualifications:.Acts
22:3-5.
Paul refers to himself as
an extraordinary Pharisee, an extremely legalistic
sect
with strict adherence
to Old
Testament practices which they
thought they understood.
Paul was a Pharisee of the
Pharisees:.Philippians
3:4-6; Galatians 1:14; Acts
22:3; 23:6;
26:4,5,9,11;
22:19,20;
8:1-3;
9:1,2,13,14;
7:58-8:1.
Paul changed, once he came
to comprehend the real God:.Acts
9:21.
His being a member of the
elite.Sanhedrin
ruling body is interpolated
from what he said in the above verses and comparing it with Acts
4:6.
Paul was one wholehearted
sincere, dedicated man, all his life in all he did, right and wrong:.2Corinthians
11:22; 1Timothy 1:13.
Acts
21:13 "...for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem
for the name of the Lord Jesus.".No
letter 'J' in the alphabet until 17th century A.D..To
see on it.

Josephus.(for

The Creator took Paul out
of all this by striking him down and making him blind:.Acts
9:3-20;
Philippians 3:6.
Paul was so sure that he
was right and that Christians were wrong when it came to religion, that
he would even travel to different cities to haul Christians away to be
put to death; again Acts 9:1,2;
Galatians
1:23.
As a member of the Sanhedrin,
a requirement was that one have a female partner.(be
what is today called 'married').(see
also the great historian Josephus).
With the same fervor with
which he was in error and persecuted Christians.(1Corinthians
15:9; again, Acts 9:2; 22:4;
26:10-12),
Paul
now served God.(2Corinthians
11:23-30).and
kept at it in
spite of an
affliction that he had.
Paul became either divorced
or widowed and went on to serve God
being now single.
