Bible Note: You explained it in such a way that I understand what you believe. But Yes, I do believe physical healing has been proveded once for all, but we as believers have been taught to accept sickness and even to embrace it as some kind of gift from God..therefore we do not accept this very clear promise. Isaiah 53 says ,"He was wounded for our transgressions," Does this mean we no longer transgress? "He was bruised for our iniquities," Do we still commit iniquities? " The chastisement needful to obtain peace was upon Him" This is the renewed relationship with our Father, the rejoining of hands...and most of us recognize and hold fast to this one. "By His stripes we are healed." Are is not past tense but present but just for arguments sake, let's say past tense... Yes, healing has been provided but are some of us still sick? Yes Why? For the same reason we still commit sin and iniquities and do not walk in a relationship as we could and should and are sick.. because we accept them as unavoidable and as mere 'human' fact. Scripture tells us we are to submit our members (physical body) to righteousness...crucify the works of the flesh..progressively move toward holiness and away from sin. The same is true for healing... Healing has been provided in the same manner as salvation..unrefutable...we receive that by faith and do not allow anyone to rob us of this truth... But healing we do not accept, thus we do not hold tight to the promise because we do not believe it. The Hebrew word MEANS MADE WHOLE (spirit soul and body) and human reasoning does not alter that fact. Ed, you said you believe James 5:13-15 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Does scripture say 'shall raise him up' or does it say 'might raise him up if it is the Lord's will'.... In response to your next observation...this proves God knew we would be sick...yes, and He also made provision for sin when we sin although He said 'sin not'. God is not ignorant of our humanity, but has made provision for our spirit to take authority over the flesh as the Holy Spirit enlightens us to the Truth. God bless |
