Subject: If we ask for healing does God answer no |
Bible Note: Mitch: Thanks for your note. It appears that your adding extra meaning to the text that just is not there. The KJV is a translation that has lost some of the word meanings in our culture today. When we compair words with their orignal intended meaning with the meanings of today there are huge problems, unless one fully understands what has been lost or changed in the last century. I fail to seen that John doubted what had been revield to him. John was not offended or ashamed of Christ as I read the text. Lets look at the purpose of John the baptizer. Was he not the forrunner of Christ? If John remained, then Jesus might well have not been seen as the only Son of God. John and Jesus were cousins, and they knew of each other. In fact John said he was unworthy to untie the strings on Jesus's sandels. This indicates John was aware that Jesus was of God. This would be especially true after hearing the voice from heaven proclaiming Jesus to be the Son of God whom the Holy Father Loved. I doubt if any of us today has heard the Holy Spirit in a audible voice that others could hear as well. This is the situation John was in when Jesus was baptized. I can not imagine that John was a doubted after this experience. I have never heard before anyone express that John was beheaded because he doubted that Jesus was God in human form, the God-Man of the Trinity. Mitch, I say this with respect, and kindness, I think your pretty off about John on this. I wish you would address the issue of healing for me. I would like to dialogue, without insults, but with respect and kindness. I praise your use of Scriptur to prove your points. We can agree to disagree, and not be disagreeable with one another.
