Subject: If we ask for healing does God answer no |
Bible Note: Hi Mitch, Doc and EdB have already responded, so I don't want repeat their advice. Does God always heal? No, empirically we should know this. My mother, who knew the Lord, died after complications of suffering a stroke as a result of brain surgery. She was in a semi-vegitative state for 2 years. This was over 25 years ago. One of God's names is Jehovah rophe- Jehovah heals. However, this is but one of His names. To say God always heals is to look at one "slice of a very large pie." It is also to presuppose on His sovereignty. (Ps. 115:3) We would like to believe that He always heals, yet both scripture and life answer differently. We walk by faith, not by what God does for us physically. I don't see that you provided any solid biblical answer, but merely your opinion based on the Word. There's a difference.
