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: Where in that quotation is it indicated that I posted it to promote some intellectual proweress? That is an assumption on your part, not a fact. The quoted information, revised to clarify my point, was taken from http://tinyurl.com/46g2vm. I just completed downloading an updated version of a Greek-Hebrew linear translation. Shall I quote it as a source each time I answer a question such as "did Jesus mean today you'll be with me in paradise, or did he mean someday?" Must I also quote the source of THAT quote? |
