Subject: If we ask for healing does God answer no |
Bible Note: Greetings Mitch! Thanks for the response! First of all, I never said that you didn't give Scripture. :-) What I said was that the Scripture you gave didn't say what you claimed. :-) You claimed that it is always God's will to heal. Yet, none of the Scriptures you listed actually says that it is always God's will to heal. Secondly, of course God works differently in different people's lives at different times. When was the last time you offered up a lamp at the temple? Why not? Yet, the people in the OT had to do so. ;-) God promised the people of Israel that a pillar of fire would procede them in their travels during the night and a pillar of cloud during the day. When was the last time that God did this for you while you were driving down the interstate. Some promises in the Bible are for specific people at specific times and were never meant for all people at all times. Some promises in the Bible are for everyone. The trick is to be able to tell the difference. Of the Scriptures you listed in your post to support your position, only one was actually stated as a promise (Ex. 23:25), yet it was addressed as part of God's covenant with Israel, not as a universal promise. I would hope my friend that you would prayerfully consider what I have said. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
