What happened after Paul's three years alone, according to Galatians 1:18?
Galatians 1:18 states that after Paul's three years alone, he went up to Jerusalem to see Peter. This followed his time of receiving revelations in Arabia, after which he took the message to the Gentile world rather than to Israel.
Les explains that Galatians 1:18 shows after Paul's three years alone he went up to Jerusalem to see Peter. Les points out the Corinthians had controversy with Paul because they claimed he did not have the three years with Jesus that Peter and the eleven had. But Les says Paul actually had it better: three years in Mount Sinai with no one but the Lord, where he received the revelations of the doctrines of grace and then took them to the Gentile world. So the Lord evened everything up.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
