Subject: Please, a straight answer!!! |
Bible Note: Hank are you saying that Jesus' instructions to the disciples (and I think I am included) were not for now but only for the short time that the 12 were alive. Mark 16:15-18 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. [KJV] It seems to me that the "they" are the "them that believe". If it is "them that believe" then that is us. Are you saying that Jesus didn't mean what he said? Or are "them that believe" only the 12. Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [KJV] In verse 4 the word "grief" is sickness, maladay, calamity according to Strong. In Isaiah 1:5 the Hebrew word choliy (the same word translated grief in 53;4), is translated "sickness", also in Isaih 38:9. I guess I'm not following your connection that the word translated grief, which means sickness, is about spiritual healing and not physical, and that God does not heal today like He healed in the days the 12 were alive. The reason for my confusion is that God touched me after my last heart attack and healed my heart. I admit that Benny Hin was not in the room at the time and I was not dressed all in white, but the same God was in my room that was in the arena with Benny Hinn when my wife was touched by God. I have experienced the work of the Holy Spirit as outlined in 1 Corinthians 12:9. Could you explain your exegesis. Brother Jeff |
