1 | Does anointing with oil heal? | Mark 6:13 | kalos | 5274 | ||
Hank: For the answer to this question I read and considered James 5:14-15. "God may heal directly, through medicine, or in answer to prayer, as here. The oil is a symbol of the presence of God (cf. Ps 23:5); it may also have been considered medicinal in James's day (cf. Luke 10:34), though hardly as being effective for all diseases. "Prayers of faith are answered not simply because they are prayed in faith but only if they are prayed in the will of God (1 John 5:14). God does not always think it best to heal (cf. 2 Cor 12:8). Here the healing is dependent on confession of sin" (p. 1863, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody, 1976, 1978). --JVH0212 |

Jim: Thank you once again for your interest and your Note. In all humility, may I point something out to you? Mark 6:13 (NASB) And they were casting out many demons and were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them. Please notice: It says, "and were anointing with oil many sick people and healing them." Anointing and healing *many* sick people, not *all* the sick people. As far as the meaning of James 5:14 in the context, I believe I have already discussed that. Please remember this principle of Bible interpretation: "One of the basic principles of biblical interpretation is the *analogia scriptura*, the analogy of Scripture. In other words, we must compare Scripture with Scripture in order to understand its full and proper sense. And SINCE THE BIBLE DOESN'T CONTRADICT ITSELF, ANY INTERPRETATION OF A SPECIFIC PASSAGE THAT CONTRADICTS THE GENERAL TEACHING OF THE BIBLE IS TO BE REJECTED." (Emphasis by capitalization is mine.) Jim, I say again, nothing I write to you is meant to be taken as a putdown in any way. I want you to be encouraged, not discouraged. I welcome your questions and answers. Thanks again for your note. God bless. --JVH0212 |
