Where did Paul receive 3 years of instruction before his missionary journeys?
Paul received three years of instruction with the Lord at Mount Sinai before beginning his missionary journeys. After that period, he set out from Antioch into Asia Minor, and later into Greece, Athens, Thessalonica, and other regions. His letters were written during these early missionary travels.
Les explains that Paul had three years of instruction with the Lord at Mount Sinai. After returning, around A.D. 40, Paul left Antioch and went into Asia Minor, to Antioch of Pisidia, Derbe, and Lystra. Later, on his second journey, he went over to Greece, Athens, and Thessalonica. Les notes that the letters Paul wrote during these early missionary travels became Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, and Galatians. He also says Paul wrote as the Holy Spirit inspired him, not realizing his writings would become the Canon of Scripture.
