And that seems like an answer to you, does it?2 Corinthians 12:9
New International Version
9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
And that seems like an answer to you, does it?
Can you tell us what it actually means, in the context of the question?
I thought my post was relevant to the question.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
New International Version
7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Well, actually, there's not a bad argument to be made that Paul's "thorn in the flesh" was an attraction to members of his own gender. Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong makes that argument, among others.

For starters why many people abuse their body by overeating, junk food. Number one cause diabetes ... immune system down ... corona victimI have no answers to my own questions, obviously, but I thought maybe some of the more religious members could give me some insight into the presumed benefit that we inherit from this one part of God's creation...
While I agree we do a lot of harm to ourselves, this is not a good answer to my question. We don't create viruses, and for those who do believe in creation, I think they need to explain why God thought creating them was a pretty good idea.For starters why many people abuse their body by overeating, junk food.

Pointing at God is not the way to go here. 3 fingers point back at oneself. Sages gave clear diet instructions. Violate them okay, crying after is childish
Clearly this has nothing to do with a god that doses not exist. But what an irony that a virus in some ways brought down a president and unveiled the cause of why denying the science is allowed so many to die intentionally. Let me think what stopped the Martians from invading the Earth? I think it was a virus, what an ironic prediction of what was to come. A man who thought he could be king in some ways brought down by a virus, the simplest biological life. What an irony. Of course it does not hurt to be totally narcissistic and ignorant of what is important to the people.
Here's the problem with that. People eating McDonald's everyday has zero impact on me. These selfish idiots not taking covid seriously, they actually do effect others. Like people who dont have covid but need to go to the hospital but the hospital doesn't have room for them. Letting covid infect those taking it seriously. Letting covid run wild enough that it mutated.For starters why many people abuse their body by overeating, junk food. Number one cause diabetes ... immune system down ... corona victim

That is your opinion. You are entitle to have and voice your opinionHere's the problem with that. People eating McDonald's everyday has zero impact on me.

I know nothing of anal sex, but it sounds like Paul's "thorn" could have helped with that.Well for Luther it was constipation.
And I dont care about the feelings of people actively spreading disease and not giving a damn they do while their choices are having dire consequences for everybody else. Hurt your feelings? Oh well. Not taking this seriously is killing people, and not just those with covid. So, no, I give not one damn if that upset you.That is your opinion. You are entitle to have and voice your opinion
Your Ad Hominem attack is not appreciated though "these selfish idiots"
So, I agree to disagree (which means that here the conversation ends)
