Touchy Feely? - Cute Videos

Paul's Thorny Question Part 1 - M. H. Dennis 2 Corinthians 12:7 (NET) ...even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not become arrogant, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble me so that I would not become arrogant. Paul was given a thorn in the flesh, but what was it? Lets look in the Bible, and see if a thorn was mentioned anywhere else. Numbers 33:55 (NET) But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, then those whom you allow to remain will be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your side, and will cause you trouble in the land where you will be living. Joshua 23:12-13 (NET) But if you ever turn away and make alliances with these nations that remain near you, and intermarry with them and establish friendly relations with them, know for certain that the LORD our God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. They will trap and ensnare you; they will be a whip that tears your sides and thorns that blind your eyes until you disappear from this good land the LORD your God gave you. Judges 2:2-3 (NKJV) "And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars. But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out before you; but they shall be thorns in your side, and their gods shall be a snare to you." The Bible repeatly used a thorn analogy of ungodly people that persecuted God's people.
