Ok, So here's a question for you all. I'd really would like some impute on this. We Christians have all heard about the thorn in the flesh that Paul had. I was reading in Galatians this morning, and this verse just jumped out at me.
Galatians 6:17=From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

My question is this. Could the thorn in the flesh that Paul had, have been stigmata ? I've heard many people bleed from their hands, feet, and forehead. Even from their eyes at times with it. Could Paul have been displaying the same bloody marks that Jesus had at His Crucifixion. Could Jesus have given this to Paul as a sign to all, in order to help Paul in His ministry?

Stigmata
Marks resembling the wounds of the crucified Christ that appear inexplicably on the limbs and body of certain sensitive individuals, especially Christian mystics. The most common stigmata are marks on a person's hands and feet resembling piercing with nails, sometimes accompanied by bleeding. Other stigmata include the weals of scourging, wounds on the shoulder and side, the bruising of the wrists (where Christ was bound with cords), and marks on the mouth (paralleling the effect of the sponge soaked in vinegar). The most dangerous stigma is the Ferita or heart wound, which under normal circumstances can cause death.
There have been hundreds of cases of stigmata over the last two thousand years, many of them on the bodies of women. In spite of some actual or suspected frauds, most of these cases seem genuine, and some individuals bearing stigmata have been canonized.

Until next time God bless and God save.
