1 | God sends maladies? | 1 Peter | DocTrinsograce | 146406 | ||
Hi, Mitch... Please look again at the references -- some of those mentioned were innocent (if *any* men can be called such). There is a common grace in which all men -- good or evil -- benefit from the hand of God (Matthew 5:45). There is also a sense in which all men -- good or evil -- suffer as a consequence of the fall (Romans 8:22-23). If Christ's atoning work saved the body, why do some believers fall sick? Why does Paul talk about the fading "outer man" (2 Corinthians 4:16)? I would never minimize the work of Christ. This act of God is mighty, doing a far, far greater work than healing physical bodies that will simply die again. Salvation is much more miraculous and incredible than anything as piddly as that! Just imagine! Raising dead souls to eternal life! In Him, Doc |

I can not answer why some believers fall sick Sir, I can't answer why some people chose to go to the grave without knowing the love of God in their lives either. Is it God's fault if someone dies and goes to hell? Or as I've already written, did they die with lack of knowledge of the truth? They heard the Word, but they didn't recieve it, and it killed them. Also I suggest looking up the often quoted passage Whosover shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And then look up the Word saved in a good dictionary such as Vine's and you will see you can just as easily say Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be healed. Read through the Scriptures I've listed, they can lead you to the truth. Mitch |
