Subject: If we ask for healing does God answer no |
Bible Note: Mitchbornagain: I read with amazement that you said "John the Baptist might not have been beheaded if he had not doubted God." This is a profound statement for you to make! This is twisting the meaning of Scripture to a new level, that I have never ever seen before! Remaining silent about your false understanding of the meaning of such a simple Scriptual text would be to give you an signal of agreement. I encourage you to look at Romans 14:22, which says I am to be careful in what I approve of. I loudly proclain you are totally off base!!! Having rerad a few of your notes, I wonder where your Scripture support comes from, as it looks like most of what you say is not Scriptual. This is a Bible Study forum, not an opinion forum, and I am amazed you neglected to notice the basics of how to respond to notes. Perhaps you should start fresh and reread your notes and either state your Scriptual evidence or retract and correct your mostly wild ideas. You make it clear that you are in the Word of Faith Movement. There are others that are in the forum that belong to the WOFM and are not just stating their opinion. I am deeply concerned that you have such a flawed view of healing. The physical decomposing of our earthly tent is a constant fact of nature that will end in physical death. Physical healing at best is only for a short number of years. Is it not better to be with the Lord than here? Paul believed to be with the Lord was gain for him. When I see that the emphasis on healing is proof of faith, or lack of healing is proof there is a lack of faith, I get rather red faced. How sad it is that this false theology is propergated and passed on by those who largely have never experienced walking in the valley of death. It seems easy to make such proclaimations of healings when you have never experienced real life threatening illness. Speaking from my personal experience of nearly 40 years of numerious serious life threatening illness, I have learned to seek to be in the center of God's will, and not tell Him what I want, but to seek His will, rather that mine. Perhaps you would like to dialogue about this, and I would be pleased to do so. I sincerely hope this gives you something else to consider before responding with just your learned from other flawed teachers. Blessings. justme |
