Best Answer

In his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and then, after a period of fourteen years, back to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:17-2:1).

Paul's second visit to Jerusalem was so that he could communicate, to the leaders of the Jerusalem church, the gospel that he was preaching among the gentiles. He says he communicated this privately to the men of reputation in Jerusalem so that he should not run in vain, perhaps meaning that he wished to avoid a public disagreement over doctrine.

Where is the dividing line between east and west hemisphere?

The dividing line of east and west hemisphere is the City of Jerusalem, in Israel.

Paul Revere probably didn't have a huge education. Most of the colonial people didn't go past 5 or 6th grade. Since he was a silversmith my guess is he was an apprentice to a silversmith for several years. That is how most people learned their "education".

Why did Paul go to Jerusalem at the end of his Third Missionary Journey and why he was arrested in Jerusalem?

AnswerThe three missionary journeys attributed to Paul are a convenient classification developed by students of Acts of the Apostles. However, in his undisputed letters, Paul gives us no information about the first missionary journey and only partially coincidental support for the other two. The Third Journey (Acts l8:23-21:15) has been called into doubt by some scholars. Juirgen Becker (Paul) denies the possiblity of any retum to Palestine at this time. From this, we should look at the reasons for these events in the literary context of Acts of the Apostles.We know from Paul's own epistles that he was collecting for the poor in Jerusalem, although perhaps much earlier in his missionary career. The author of Acts, for this to appear to be a historical chronology, it was necessary for Paul to take the collection to Jerusalem, as promised. In Acts, this became the first and most apparent reason for his return to Jerusalem.Since Paul's epistles tell of Paul having been arrested and held in prison, another reason for his journey to Jerusalem was to provide the opportunity for him to be arrested. He went to the Temple, where he was seem and recognised as the man who took uncircumcised converts into the Temple. The mob seized Paul and handed him over to the authorities, who arrested Paul for this.
