  • I have a bunch of Holiday stuff going on, so I can't give this thread the attention I would like to.
    But, while I'm thinking about it,

    Are we supposed to believe that from the time St. Paul was taken up to the Third Heaven on the road to Damascus, until he finished his first meeting with Ananias that he was NOT in a state of Grace?

    I don't think there is any indication that Paul was taken to the Third Heaven prior to meeting Ananias.

    Haydock is of the opinion that it happened in Acts 13:2

    Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest, that thou mayest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
    9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales: and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.
    God sent Ananias to cure Paul's physical blindness, and so that Paul could be justified
    John 15:19  If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
