WHAT ABOUT PAUL'S THORN?

NUMBERS 33:55
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitant of the Land from before you; thorn it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be price in your eyes, and thorns to your side, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

"Don't you remember, though, Paul was sick all his life."
"No, I don't remember that."
"But he had a thorn in the flesh."
"Where did you ever read in the Bible that a thorn in the flesh is sickness? Nowhere!
Go to the Scriptures, See how the Bible uses that term. In the Old Testament, God said to Israel, in effect, "If you don't kill those Canaanites when you poses the land, they will be thorn in your side. They will torment you" (Number 33:55; Joshua 23:13; Judges 2 :3).
Paul tells exactly what the thorn was:"... The messenger of Satan to buffet me... " (2Cor.12:7). Everywhere Paul went to preach, this evil spirit went before and behind him, and stirred up everything it could. (And Paul couldn't command the evil spirit to leave the earth, because the devil has the right to be here until Adam's leave run's out.)
So there is no separating sickness and disease from satan--- he causes them. Jesus' attitude toward sickness was uncompromising warfare against Satan.
