For @libertyvalance or any others who want to participate. I have a question about this verse from Galations.
But when it pleased God, #Is. 49:1, 5; Jer. 1:5; Acts 9:15; Rom. 1:1; Gal. 1:6who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, 16#(2 Cor. 4:5–7)to reveal His Son in me, that #Acts 9:15; Gal. 2:9I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with #Matt. 16:17flesh and blood, 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Contacts at Jerusalem
18Then after three years #Acts 9:26I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. 19But #1 Cor. 9:5I saw none of the other apostles except #Matt. 13:55James, the Lord’s brother. 20(Nowconcerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)
So..when Paul is in the desert is he with Jesus/God? Is that where he gets his assuredness and authority?
