Subject: Divine Healing? |
Bible Note: You are right, God is not the source for sickness, disease, etc., but He does allow it. 2 Cor. 1:4-8 was talking about the afflictions Paul was suffering and he wrote saying that as they were comforted by God, so they could comfort others. Also, there was an instance where Jesus "undid" the Father's work. Actually, it was a working together in the overall plan. When Jesus healed the man who was blind from birth. Was it a lack of faith, I might add, along with sin as the disciples asked, that caused the man to be born blind? Jesus healed the man of his blindness for a reason. If our faith is what keeps us healthy in every case, why wasn't Paul healed and Timothy? You can give a lot of verses for "faith" healing, and I agree with them, but why do you continue to throw out the ones that don't agree with your way of thinking, that even the greatest men of faith had sickness that even faith and prayer would not relieve? Only the grace of God gave them strength to bear it. Is that not also an example for us? We need to read the whole word of God and use it all. Debbie |
