Thorns are painful. but on his writings, it was not literally thorn as he said. It was actually his hardships and pains that he had being a messanger of God. If you have read the book of Acts, as Paul travelled, he endured all the hardships to preach. Also, it could be related to all his weaknesses which may include his old age and health.

A CEO, a hard artwork Union chief, and a center administration representative met sooner or later to artwork out some employer disputes. there grew to become right into a container of cookies on the table and the CEO in the present day took 11 of the dozen, then he turns to a minimum of one in each and every of the different adult adult males and whispers, "hi that guy is attempting to take 0.5 of YOUR cookie". as long as a rustic complacently accepts that heartless firms are human beings. Then the individuals do no longer stand a wager.

Great question. The Bible never tells us exactly, but God in His infinite wisdome would not heal Paul of this problem. Paul told him that he could serve him much better if he just was healed, however he did not recieve a healing.

There is nothing in the Bible that says for sure what it was. But I think it may have been a disability of some kind. He was beaten and whipped more times than I can say and you know he had to have had some kind of disability from that. But, it is only my opinion, because no one knows for sure.

I think that there is quite the debate among religious scholars but to me it is the war within between our old selfish nature and our new nature of Love.

Like every other man. The mother in law. Seriously though it was either that or his damaged eyes but neither are confirmed in the Bible.

Ive heard it was his eyesight that was bad. He could not heal himself though. It would explain why he had to dictate his letters to a scribe.
