1 | Why? | Luke 5:23 | stjohn | 218408 | ||
um, sorry WOS, I think it must be my fault because I didn't communicate it well? I never said or even implied that the man was not healed. I agree with what you wrote, but I fail to see what you wrote having relevance to the question. Sorry Brother, but you lost me. And I don't really think the question hits on the thrust of the passage. It may be just me, but it seems kinda irrelevant, to ask why did or didn't Jesus do something this way or that way, instead of focusing on what He did do and try to understand from that perspective rather then trying to see it from a scenario perspective that never even happened. Sorry if it offends, but I think by there nature, those kind of questions are kinda moot. John p.s. thanks for the spelling correction. :-) |

2 | Why? | Luke 5:23 | Wild Olive Shoot | 218412 | ||
John, No, you communicated it well, you said it was a moot question and I thought it very relevant. The question was why wasn't this man healed physically when the cause for his sickness, his sin, was forgiven and I expanded on that a bit as to why that doesn't happen in every case. I never stated you implied he was not healed, please re-read my post. We don't know when this man was physically healed, like you stated, but we know he was at some point very close if not at the time the words were uttered, is what I was stating. We also know that when we are forgiven, we are not healed physically as this man was. One can read the passage and easily assume that forgiveness can also mean physical healing and I wanted to point out that is not the case without simply disregarding the question as being moot. Are your sins forgiven John? Do you still have physical conditions that exist? When the underlying cause of those conditions were resolved, did they go away? Why not? That's where I think this question was relevant. You may think there isn't any relevance but to others, including me, it is a question well worth some time to look into. Stand in His grace, WOS |

Ok, I think I get it now. Still not sure where that fits in with the context, or that that was actually the trust of the question, but I 'kinda' get your point. kinda like, I think the question was 'kinda' moot... :-) Thanks WOS! John p.s. It's been a while since we've seen you posting at SBF. Good to have you back! :-) |
