ThinkFest thoughts: Interpreter of a malady. PUBLISHED ON: November 10, 2011 Duration: 45 min, 28 sec. Dr Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies speaks to NDTV about life. Malady is a mysterious half elf, half demon who is able to wield Source; however, the powers which are wielded by the Godwoken (specifically bless) are capable of causing her physical harm due to her half demon physiology. Although working with the Seekers to ascend the Godwoken to the position of Divine, she in fact works for another party. Dowry is one of the deep rooted social evils in India. It has become a barrier to lead a normal life for women. The system is the evil which has killed and crippled many helpless women; many women have committed suicide too. The dowry system is the oldest social malady of the Indian subcontinent.

What was the “thorn” that Paul referred to in 2 Corinthians 12:7?

We do not know exactly what the affliction was that Paul called his “thorn in the flesh.” It probably was a physical malady. There is some evidence in Scripture that Paul had an eye problem. He spoke of the large letters he used in writing to the Galatians (Galatians 6:11). He also declared that the Galatians would have plucked out their own eyes and given them to him (Galatians 4:13-15). Some have suggested that this may have been a chronic eye disease or an injury suffered when he was stoned in Lystra (Acts 14:19,20).

Paul also referred to his “thorn” as “a messenger of Satan.” We know that the devil afflicted Job with a physical malady (Job 2:7) and caused physical deformity to a woman (Luke 13:16). We therefore have scriptural support for the idea that the “messenger of Satan” can be something physical.

Ceci could miss Tuesday's clash with the Blackhawks due to an undisclosed ailment, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports. Ceci logged 24:01 of ice time against the Lightning on Saturday, so it's unclear when. A pox on anyone who calls it gambling. Gaming’s the new high-toned word. The pros still grab your wallet, but this somehow sounds classier. We’re tobogganing downhill.

Those who believe that the thorn was something other than a physical affliction point out that it was sent to “buffet” Paul (2 Corinthians 12:7), that is to prick the apostle’s arrogance which may have lingered on after he had been converted from Pharisaism. Some scholars prefer this interpretation and think Paul referred to Alexander the coppersmith (2 Timothy 4:14), Hymenaeus, and Philetus (2 Timothy 2:17), as the “thorns” who were adversaries of the work and therefore doing Satan’s business.

Those who hold to this view also refer to Numbers 33:55, where Moses warned the children of Israel as they were about to enter Canaan, “But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell.”

Another example of such a “thorn” would be Elymas, the sorcerer mentioned in Acts 13, who tried to turn the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, away from the faith (v.8) and was addressed by Paul as “you son of the devil” (v.10). And in 1 Thessalonians 2:18, Satan is said to have prevented Paul more than once from visiting the Thessalonians.

The fact of the matter is that the Bible doesn’t identify Paul’s thorn. God must have had a good reason for not giving this information. He probably left it this way so that people with various kinds of physical and spiritual problems might identify with Paul and experience the grace that God has promised (2 Corinthians 12:9).

   Summary

   Bill had known the swamps were full of horrors. Torture beyond comprehension, unspeakable acts committed by despicable people, the death of innocents; the Van der Linde gang being afflicted by some of the atrocities. Though not all was so horrid. Strangely enough the swamps would be where Bill had found the chance to get close to the O'Driscoll boy. A fishing trip with just the two of them had been such a wonderful experience. Until they returned to camp drenched in blood.
