Believing that he still continued to have eye trouble discredits the healing power of God. Also, would it be right to call eye problems that resulted from seeing the glory of God a messenger of Satan? Paul himself tells us in the year 60, when he wrote this epistle, that it was "around 14 years ago" that he received the "abundant revelation" which resulted in the thorn in the flesh that was 12 years after his conversion experience in which he saw God's glory.
Isa pa, tama ba na tawaging diprensiya sa mata ang pagkakita ng kaluwalhatian ng Dios na isang mensahero ni Satanas? Sinabi ni Pablo mismo sa taong 60, nang isulat niya ang sulat na ito, na “mga 14 taong nakaraan” nang tanggapin niya ang “maraming mga kapahayagan” na nagbunga ng tinik sa laman. Yaon ay 12 na taon matapos ang kaniyang pagkahikayat nang makita niya ang kaluwalhatian ng Dios.
