Pastor Says Paul Had A STI | This is Bad

n this video, we respond to a shocking and highly questionable claim from Pastor Delman Coates, where he suggests that the Apostle Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” may have been connected to an STI. This is the kind of preaching that sounds edgy, intellectual, and provocative, but when you actually compare it to the text of Scripture, it raises serious concerns. Original video:    • Lust Is Not What the Church Told You It Wa...   Paul’s thorn in the flesh is mentioned in 2 Corinthians 12, and the Bible tells us it was something God allowed to keep Paul humble. But the passage does not identify the thorn as a sexually transmitted infection. So where does that idea come from? Is it faithful biblical interpretation, or is it speculation being preached as if it has weight? In this review, we break down why this kind of teaching is problematic, how it can mishandle the biblical text, and why pastors need to be extremely careful when making claims about biblical figures that Scripture itself does not make.
