Bible Note: BradK, I'm sorry, I phrased that the wrong way. I didn't mean to say that the words are interpreted from the Greek wrong, I meant that the meaning itself is misinterpreted. "Thorn in the flesh" is Hebrew slang. As you know, slang can't be interpreted literally. If the shoe were on the other foot, Paul would probably have a difficult time interpreting some of our sayings. For example, "We were chilling in my crib." Now as a 19-year-old I interpret that as, "We were fellowshipping at my house." But if Paul, or even my grandfather, were to try to interpret that literally they would think that we were in low temperature where I used to sleep as a baby. As you can see, the point that I intended to convey is lost when it's meaning is not properly interpreted. I believe that is the case with 2 Corinthians 12:7-9. Jesified |
