Shalom. That a person had what is referred to as a thorn, does not mean that all people do. Shalom. Jacob.
I said
Well if you believe that you must also believe that one would have to be more righteous than Paul. And equal with Christ.
I can tell you why one needs that thorn. When one receives an abundance of the revelations of Jesus Christ. The only weapon they have to fight off pride is the thorn.
2 Cor 12:6-9
6 For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.
8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
