I would be VERY careful implying the Oneness group is demonic and doesn't recognize Jesus, only the Spirit - another spirit. Have you ever read Romans 8:9? But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of...

All I'm saying is I AM TRINITARIAN for the reasons you stated. But I will not judge the Oneness group who sees all three in the body of Jesus and love Him. You can if you want, but make sure you don't have any planks in your eyes. You are setting yourself up to be judged by God who loves those...

Well, this Trinitarian is not so cold and arrogant to think I have the Trinity understood infallibly. I am a student of the Word of God and will read it with an open mind. I'm not surprised you would go to the Christian Research Institute as your "authority." Did you see all the names the Son is...

Do not imply that I am a liar. I said what I meant, and I meant what I said. The three - Trinity are One - Oneness Do Oneness believe in the deity of Christ - yes. Do Trinitarians believe in the deity of Christ - yes. Do Oneness deny Christ - no. Do Trinitarians deny Christ - no. A Oneness...

Have you ever pondered Isaiah 9:6? For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Jesus embodies the godhead. Wonderful Counselor is the Holy...

Yikes, #22! Okay, I'll read all those posts tomorrow.

The point I am making about an idiom, it doesn't have to be literal to the situation. A real thorn. Real pain. A real demon. They are just people or a situation that is frustrating to Paul. His life would be easier if God would just take them out of his way.

There is always a situation behind an idiom. And they can be different situations that cause us to use the idiom. So if you want to let the cat out of the bag, you can tell me what you said to hermit. See what I did there? I used an idiom, but you may not even own a cat, nor do I. :)

I don't. I take it as an expression. Any real pain is secondary. Paul received a lot of revelation that could really puff up his pride which is mentioned in the passage. But there was always someone around to disagree or mock his doctrines. We've both experienced the same thing on the forums...

Has anyone heard of Hebrew idioms? A "thorn in the flesh" is a common idiom, the same as our idiom "pain in the neck," as in my mother-in-law is a "pain in the neck," or some other body part. LOL Here is how it is used in Scripture. Judges 2:1Then the Angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to...
