Thanks for the clarification. That was what I was expecting you to say. If that was Paul's intended meaning, however, he used very strange language. The phrase 'untimely born' usually refers to a caesarean section, as in the case of the character Macduff in Shakespeare's Macbeth. Why would Paul refer to his birth as untimely or abnormal, when he is actually referring to an experience during his adult years? If we remove that phrase, then there would be no reason to assume that his experience was any different from the others he mentions.

Paul says that “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures”. Can you identify what Scriptures he is referring to? It cannot be the Gospels since they were written later than his Epistles. He is presumably referring to something in the Old Testament. Can you point me in that direction?

On the question of Acts 9, we've been here before. In Galatians, Paul swears an oath that much of that account is factually incorrect, namely the events that follow his vision. We might also be suspicious therefore of the part that precedes them.
