1 | Is healing a guarantee?? | Is 53:5 | BradK | 113419 | ||
punkiedo, No, healing IS NOT a guarantee! I must side with kalos on this matter for good reason. The primary emphasis of the miracles done by Jesus were not for the benefit of the healed, but rather to authenticate and validate His ministry. They were to show that He was truly the Messiah (John 4:48). Come now, if you truly believe what you said about Mark 16:18, that "It says SHALL recover. Not they might",then I suggest you ingest some form of deadly poison and report back to us Monday! It's not that the text wasn't true (or isn't true today), but in context it was Christ's authentication for the disciples minisitry (vs. 17). The "those who believed" is refering to the disciples, not EVERY believer that follows. Now, this is not to say that God can't or won't heal today. He does! We need to ask the question whether this verse is prescriptive or descriptive of it's matter. I would submit Mark 16:16-18 IS NOT a normative prescription by which we live today.

BTW my bible says thou shalt not tempt the lord your God. So no I would never knowingly ingest something to see if he would heal me. God gives us common sense. Get real! | ||||||
