Of course, not a deviant in the christian sense - after all, christianity has codified what is "normal" sexuality according to Paul teachings.
But in my experience, people with so many hangs-up about purity and sexuality and earthy pleasures, especially when they preach everybody to apply them, aren't the sanest ones around.
Whatever his "thorn in his flesh" was, I wouldn't let someone who wrote what Paul wrote alone with my daughter.

Here goes the "rumor mill". A classical example of "Chinese Whispers". It is most remarkable that people here are almost certain of what they speculate and call them "best explanations" without a single shred of credible evidence from the same Pauline writer.

Why is it so difficult to actually read and accept what is found in the Pauline writings itself?

'Paul" has made himself a False witness because he testified that God raised Jesus from the dead when the dead rise NOT.

1Cor 15:15 - "Paul" made himself a false witness because he claimed he received of the resurrected Jesus that he [Jesus] was betrayed in the night after he had supped.

1Cor 11:23 - If Jesus was raised from the dead then he should have CONTINUED to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of heaven.

We don't need "Paul" once Jesus did resurrect.

Why did Jesus VANISH after he resurrected?

Why resurrect and then Vanish?

"Paul" was a false witness for the Glory of God because the dead rise NOT on the third day.
