1 | scripture on healing | James 5:14 | Pastor Glenn | 63731 | ||
EdB, I read the site at: http://www.christusrex.org/www1/CDHN/heal2.html#SICK It was not clear at first glance that the focus is on last Rites, rather than for all general sickness. We should always look to the bible for what God is saying, above what our denominational tradition says. Jesus taught against tradition. Pastor Glenn |

2 | scripture on healing | James 5:14 | EdB | 63732 | ||
Pastor Glenn I'm sorry, apparently I'm not making myself clear it is not about traditions. James 5:13-16 carries two ideas. One many focus in on that being healing and the other being what some call Last Rites. Until Emmaus pointed me to the site I was not aware that healing was an actual consideration in the Catholic ordinance of Last Rites. I always thought is was ministered when death was imminent, almost as a death bed conversion but more correctly to insure the confessor entered into Jesus’ presence bearing no unconfessed sin. As I stated earlier Catholic soldiers are given “last Rites before going into battle. As a child I had many catholic friends and I knew they feared sudden death without being able to take Last Rites. I delighted to hear the Catholics too see the hope of healing in James 5:13-16. I evidently was presented the Catholic slant on James 5:13-16 either by someone that did not understand their actual teaching or someone that has bias in his teaching, which is very common. Therefore this dialogue accomplished what I had hoped, a better understanding of the Catholic position. I pray you too learned from this exchange. Possibly we will dialogue on another issue. Until then be blessed and be a blessing EdB |
