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 Note: It is equally offensive to lay a charge without supporting evidence. I would remind you that at the time of Christ and for centuries thereafter references and direct quotations were the highest form of flattery, well-received by those who read them. There was ZERO intent on my part to plagarize anyone and I resent that inference. I have been a Pastor-Teacher for many years and I quote or refernce others continuously. Please send me a line-by-line detailed list of information that you found plagaristic or offensive. johann.walter1@gmail.com Thanks! :-) |
