Hi Hank and Brad, This is from my previous post on this topic: I know that healing comes at God's discretion, not by our will, only as it serves His purposes. We will all be healed, perhaps now, and perhaps in the resurrection. I know that Paul said somewhere that the Holy Spirit had prevented him from a certain trip. Elsewhere we read that he couldn't make that trip because he was sick. I especially like your quote from Dr. Rhodes 'Am I saying we shouldn't pray for healing? No, not at all. I'm just saying that after we've asked for healing, we need to submit to God's sovereign will. He may have a purpose in allowing our illness.' With that said. . . Does not Matthew 8:17 let us know that Isaiah 53 is not only refering to spiritual healing, but also physical healing? Shoud we completely spiritualize the Isaiah 53 passage? Mt 8:15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. What are your thoughts regarding how Matt 8:18 bears on this topic? Love in Christ, Mark |
