Subject: Did Jesus go to hell? |
Bible Note: "I do believe all scriptural truth can be traced back to His teachings, although in the other letters, there is often much more detail." Then show me where Jesus condemned homosexuality. This is the same argument ("Jesus never mentioned it") that the pro-"gay Christian" people use. The fact is that all Scripture is God-breathed, and if there is significant teaching outside of the gospels on any matter, it doesn't matter if Jesus himself addressed it at length or not. "Since physical healing was a MAJOR emphasis of His ministry, how do you think such a MAJOR exclusion as never telling ANYONE who asked for healing, that it was God's will for them to remain sick for awhile." 1. I don't think it was nearly as major as you seem to think it is. How many of his miracles did not involve healing at all? Compare the number of references to Jesus healing to the number of parables He told. Add in all of the teaching moments, sermons, and so on. While His healing ministry was not tiny, it certainly wasn't a MAJOR focus of why He was here. In fact, I think it is safe to reasonably conclude that His healing of people was more about Himself than it was about their maldies. 2. While Jesus did heal the man born blind, was it God's will that he be blind from birth up until that moment? Didn't Jesus say that Himself? --Joe! |
