Bible Note: Hi, PBTG! If you think about it, *all* healing comes from God. This is part of how God, in His loving-kindness bestows grace on all men. Look at the context of this verse. There is no mention of physical ailments in this chapter. It is entirely about the sacrfice of our Lord Jesus Christ for the sins of His elect. Your interpretation takes a single phrase in a single verse out of context. This violates the principles of a sound hermeneutic. Also, please note that the gospel is not about physical healing. If the gospel were about physical healing, it would be a dismal and utter failure! Every single believer since the time of Christ has met the same fate: failure to recover from physical ailments. Even Lazarus died again! So why did Christ heal during His ministry? As a sign that He was Messiah (Isaiah 35:5-6). See Matthew 11. I am not discounting your claim to having recovered from arthritis in a miraculous way. God is gracious. I am grateful to Him no matter how the mechanics of your healing has been accomplished. In Him, Doc |
