Subject: Thorn in the flesh |
Bible Note: This post and your additional post concerning Paul and the statements he made is exceptional and some of the best reading I have come across in this forumn so far. You should put these thoughts in a book and give it to people who are sick. I believe you have clearly laid out what the Bible says and what I understood when I read it without human intervention. The only conclusion a fair treatment of scripture yields in this subject is that Paul must be speaking of wounds from persecutions and we never read of him being sick. You have let scripture interpret scripture. The idea that saints have become sick and even died of their sickness does not make void the Word of God. I am glad you took the time to post these verses. Don't let the gain sayers, doubters, and unbelievers keep you from posting. There will be thousands that might believe on the The Lord because of your faith filled words. This is what we should use these forums for to post faith filled words that others might read and be drawn closer to Christ. The harsh accusations and arguing spirits are not of God but of the flesh. The servant of the Lord must not strive but be gentle toward all men, apt to teach.. God Bless you and Thank you. |
