Bible Question (short): Answers |
Question (full): Answers to your questions: 1. No. I am basing that belief on the gospel accounts of Jesus' healing of people. 2. Playing the adversarial role here (no problem. I think it helps me dig into the Word, which is good for me! :) How can one assert that it is ALWAYS God's will to heal physically in this life ? Because of what Jesus did (went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil Acts 10:38) and I hadn't seen in scripture where Jesus healed someone and they did not walk away from him alive. In other words, I haven't seen where Jesus healed someone by letting them die. If it's GOD's will to heal me (and he provided that healing that by the stripes of Jesus) and not you, does that make Him a respecter of persons? Another scripture that leads me to believe in physical healing is Proverbs 4:20-22. Could you share those instances in Scripture where He does not heal (I already have the situation w/David and posted my response to that). How can one presume to know the absolute will of God in every instance? If it's an instance of healing, don't we already have GOD's will (WORD) on that (I think I listed scriptures in my very first post in this discussion)? 3. If I 'name' (ask) it and what I name is according to His will, then I 'claim' (know I have the petition I ask) it, am I unscriptural? Jesus said once(and maybe more than once) that he knew the Father heard him (John 11:41-42). And I wanna be just like Jesus! LOL OK, That's it for now for me. Hope to post with ya soon. Always in Him |
