1 | what about doing the work Jesus did ? | 1 Cor 12:28 | Tamara Brewington | 205538 | ||
Daiauh, You lost me over here John....!!!! I Timothy 5:23? Galatians 4:13? Does not Paul say that God decided to leave Paul's thorn in the flesh? Does that not mean that there are some things that will not be healed anyway? But what does that have to do with the possibility to their being gifts of healing operating then or now according to God's sovereign will? No one is gaurunteed healing simply becuase the gift is still around. No? Help me out here, I appreciate that different view though! God's Day To Us all, Tamara |

Hi Tam: there's nothing to indicate in Scripture, that that particular illness was the infamous, "thorn in the flesh". Remember too that I never said that these gifts were not necessarily given today. I certainly do believe in miraculous healing! But given the type of circus sideshow charlatan activity we see so much of, I am more the a little skeptical, and that they are not as prevalent as some would have us to believe. I happen to think that anyone who has such a gift today, would do so under the strict direction of and guidance of the Holy Spirit, who by the way is not one to bring attention to Himself, but only to point to Jesus. I believe if and when they are used, they are used with utmost discretion. Not the kind of nonsense we see on tv. I also believe that If God wants to heal illness, He will heal it, He doesn't need healers. Even in those places and in countries that have so much sickness, the greater need still is to preach the Gospel, for it is the sick and broken spirit, that truly needs healing. Mark 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. I'm getting down off this soapbox now, so if others want to discuss this, go for it, but I'm done, if you please. Shalom and God bless John |

Correction: my quote: "there's nothing to indicate in Scripture, that that particular illness was the infamous, "thorn in the flesh". Actually after closer inspection perhaps it was the "thorn in the flesh" Which some believe is some kind of blindness, as He mentions, they showed such kindness that he believed they would have given their eyes to him. Nonetheless, blindness is indeed a physical illness. Shalom and God bless John |
