What was Paul's thorn in the flesh?

And what is the entire point

You is the thorn; the thorn doesn’t exist.

You is the thorn; the thorn doesn’t exist.

And your proof that it is only a metaphorical and not a real infirmity is?

I’m not speaking metaphorically.

The self implied, the one which needs proof or for whom there could be proof - does not exist (already).

This is the Good news.

What was Paul's thorn in the flesh

PERSONAL OPINION:
Paul in his earlier days was a religious TERRORIST, destroying families and individuals "for the glory of God", and the Jewish religious system as a Pharisee. Biblically, the "Thorn" was a satanic messenger that buffeted him.

What do you suppose happened when Paul ran into the relatives, friends, or families of the people he'd DESTROYED?? For SURE satan would remind him regularly of his atrocities that he'd committed in the past as a religious fool, and rub his nose in it.

No one knows. He never explicitly let us know. Many assume it was his eye sight, but it could have been some type of temptation from the darkness- the Advesary which apparently kept him from ever exalting himself over anyone else.
