Splinter in the Flesh

[Craig]

Hello, Ray.  I hope this finds you feeling well.

First encountering your Paper on Paul's splinter in the Flesh, I confess I really didn't understand.  Sometime later, a small group of us discussed it in an online Bible Study, and I left unsatisfied about what was said.

Now I believe I understand what those 'inordinate blows' are and what the messengers of Satan look like.  Not only do I believe I have recieved a share of them, but I've also delivered some blows myself.  Whether you recall or not, a time or two I delivered those blows to you.  I ask you to forgive me my pride, and accept my thanks for all your work has done to change my life.

God be with you.  Continuing to pray for you.

Dave.


Dear Dave:  I don't remember your specific "blows" as you say, but certainly
whatever they were, they are all forgiven from my side.  I harbor no personal
ill-feelings toward any person in the world.  I receive thousands of unjustified
criticisms and condemnations from the World of Christendom (nearly 100%
of my hate mail comes from Christians).  I have no trouble forgiving them all.

I hope and prayer is that you continue to see the grand design of God's
master plan for the salvation and eternal happiness for all creation.

God be with you,

Ray
