Subject: special revelation vs general revelation |
Bible Note: Graceful Before you take off God has clearly stated there are things He has chosen not to reveal to us. Paul said we don't understand all that we see through the glass darkly. That is not up for argument. However I find in most cases the reason while not readily apparent when I'm going through them becomes crystal clear once I get through it. You take this verse by His stripes and refuse to look at it. First if it was true for physical healing James 5:14 would be in conflict with it. That can not be. Secondly Paul's admonishment to Tim to take wine for his stomach would be in conflict with it and that can not be. Third Paul's statement that he came and preached when he was sick and infirmed would be in conflict with it and that can not be. We have three places that stand in direct conflict with that verse if means what you say. We also have Chrsitians dying all over the world from disease that would be in conflict with that verse. Therefore doesn't that hint the verse as you interpret it is the problem? Then we move to Peter he quotes the same verse only here it can clearly be seen Peter is talking of spiritual healing. How if we apply Peter meaning to the verse that it is talking of spiritual healing and not physical let's see does it conflict with James? No! Does it conflict with what Paul to Timothy? No! Does it conflict with what Paul said about himself? No! Does it conflict with what we see in the Christian world not just in the USA? No! Yet you insist your interpretation is the correct one and mine is wrong. Think about it! I'm not saying if we are in Christ God doesn't heal us. I'm saying God allowed imperfection to inflict this world at the time of the fall. In this imperfection is disease. Jesus did not by his death remove that. God Himself said some would would get sick and die for taking communion wrong, yet they are still saved still in Christ and in this case I beleive God made them sick. EdB |
