Hmmm... This is an interesting question! I'd have to dig a little bit about that one. I don't believe that the Bible names a specific location in Arabia.

However, the fact that you mention Mt. Sanai being in Arabia is another issue. What is referred to today as Mt. Sanai and the Sanai Peninsula is (and was at that time) in Afrcia as a part of Egypt, not Arabia. There are some who believe that the real Mt. Sanai is actually in Arabia, and that could be a spot that Paul would have wanted to visit as he studied the Word in light of his new revelation of Christ.

I have nothing to back that up right now, but it does make sense to me... I'll have to research it a bit more to be sure.

Thanks! It was actually only about 4-5 months ago that this was recorded... If you thought that it was 'old' then I am wondering if it was because of the posterboard visuals. If it was, that was intentional in an effort to be a little different.

But you are right... It is still very relevant... Paul had an amazing eperience, and really it is much like our own. Therefore we could learn a lot from how he responded...

Thanks!

your address...(probably made years ago) is still valid. I am about to launch a study of Paul ..with the hope that we might find meaning for our own lives. I will use your last quote soon after our beginning. thanks
