Bible Question: Pastor Floyd: In re: your post # 90632 -- Where does the Bible say anything about anyone "releasing" his faith? And who in his right mind would ever ask for the common cold? Have you? Do you know anyone who has? Surely you're aware that what you're promoting about health and healing is nothing but a charismatic knock-off of Christian Science and the Peale-Schuler version of "positive thinking," which leaders of your stripe call "positive confession." Both are characterized by a curious combination of humanism on the one hand and "commanding" God to pay His "debts" to fallen man on the other -- an impossible combination than which no other doctrine contrived by the mind of man is more unscriptural. --Hank |
Bible Answer: Hank: When you come down with a cold you come down with the symptoms first. Right? Sneezing: Runny nose: scratchy throat: a small cough: SYMPTOMS HANK, NOT A COLD. SYMPTOM! Then invariable someone asks you how you feel. You say I have a cold. Right Hank? I have a cold. The god of this world is standing at your elbow and he agrees with you. Remember Hank, the Bible says if two agree on anything they shall have it. It continues, "Jesus is at you right hand to see that you receive it. NOW Jesus does not give us sickness, He says in Philippians that He came so that we might have abundant life. Right? But, Hank, the Bible says we can have what we want in this world. We are to follow the rules of this world, Hank and rule No 1 is that what you say with your mouth, IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART, you shall receive it. Apparently you must believe it because you tell your friend that you have a cold. YOU HAVE AFFIRMED THAT YOU HAVE A COLD; THAT YOU ARE COMING DOWN WITH A COLD. AGAIN! YOU HAVE SAID IT WITH YOUR MOUTH! That is not Christian Science, or pre-Schuler or pre anybody Hank. That is good old common horse sense! You are in this world but you are not of this world. But, while in this world you have to answer to the worlds rules. A friend of mine is affiliated with the Space Administration. Do you know that when you leave this earth's atmosphere there is a whole new set of rules that you have to follow? Do you know that if you receive an injury in space that it heals up within a day. Ask Grissom. He received a cut on his arm that laid it open to the bone and they thought they were going to have to abort the mission. He healed up without a scar in a few minutes. THEY HAVE PICTURES OF IT IN HOUSTON, HANK. Hank if I don't want to affirm that I have a cold, if I don't want a cold why should I ask for it? |
