"Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem.??? Gal 2:1...
Three years after his conversion he went up to Jerusalem for the 1st time (Gal 1:18); then fourteen years after that, he went up again which was the 3rd time mentioned in the Scriptures.
If this later trip to Jerusalem was the one in 50 or 51 then Paul's conversion must be at least 17 years behind this date...namely in 33 or 34 A.D.
I believe The Messiah was crucified in 30 A.D. not 33 A.D. and this would tend to make this true...
The 3rd visit spoken of was in A.D. 50 or 51. At that time we find that Paul and Barnabas and certain others went up to Jerusalem to see the Apostles and Elders about the question of the relation of the Gentile Christians to Judaism. See Ac 15:1,2. That this is the visit Paul means, is evident (1) because it is the right date; (2) the right persons are present, viz.: Paul, Barnabas, Peter and James, and (3) the right question is the one discussed.
One visit took place in A.D. 40 (Gal 1:10 Ac 9:22,23). Another, to carry relief at a time of famine, took place in A.D. 44 (Ac 11:30 12:25); and the third, here referred to, took place in A.D. 50 or 51.
So the question is.... did the Apostle Paul write all his letters to the Churches before he and Barnabas went to Jerusalem to meet with the Apostles in 50 or 51?
What was the year that Paul was 1st sent out of Antioch to Preach? If 33 or 34 A.D. is right for his conversion, then it must have been about 37A.D. when he was commissioned to Preach at Antioch, since after his conversion he 1st went into Arabia, then into Damascus for 3 years.
If this is all true, then we have 14 years for Paul to both Preach, Teach, set up the churches, and write his Letters to the those Churches after they got started all before 50 or 51 A.D. And this would be plenty of time I think....
But, did he write none of these Letters after 50 or 51 A.D. or while he was in prison in Rome? No one seems to have a clue when Paul died, but it was certainly before the end of 68 A.D. when Nero died. So, from say, 51 to 68 A.D. no letters were written? Tradition says that Paul was beheaded in 64 or 65 A.D. and if this is true, then there is about 15 years where none of these Letters were written if they were done before 50 or 51 A.D.
Not saying one way or the other, just wondering, cause I always thought that some were written while Paul was in Prison in Rome...anyone know when Paul was in Prison there? I think it speaks of two imprisonments right?
