AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 12:7 Because of the surpassing greatness and extraordinary nature of the revelations [which I received from God], for this reason, to keep me from thinking of myself as important, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, to torment and harass me--to keep me from exalting myself! [Job 2:6] |
Bible Question (short): any opinions about "thorn in the flesh" |
Question (full): Searcher56 ... I'm sure most if not all of the Bible verses have been discused here before. If this were reason enough to stop asking questions, then this forum wouldn't be needed anymore, would it? I asked for opinions about the "thorn" in this verse, not instructions on using the forum. I have a different view than anything I read in the threads posted back in 2001. The whole world has changed since 9 -11 -01 and maybe someone might have a better understanding, so please, please, please, do not remove questions from the unanswered page when you have no answer/opinion to offer. Sometimes people who post a question might be living in dire straits and seeking the value of the Biblical answer, so they can instate this principal in their life and perhaps walk a little closer with the Creator, Savior, and Holy Spirit. Maybe you should try to find some empathy for the other members here and simply "pass or play". .... ('!') hey ... take it to heart. 2 Corinth. 12:7 ... |
