| Bible Question: What does this mean? |
|
Bible Answer: It has been said "Amazing the kind of responses one will read to this sort of question. All the more astonishing when you are mindful of the fact that such stuff has been -- apparently -- promulgated for years. Oh that the sheep would be spared!" And I agree, however one has to remember scripture is given by God to man to increase man's understanding of God. For God nothing is impossible this fact has been declared many times through out scripture. God created man both body and spirit and as a creator nothing puzzles God in either the function of each or maladies that may beseech either. Therefore to God healing of the body or of spirit of man is a simple task, what is hard is convincing man that God cares enough to do either. When God heals our spirit by forgiving our sins man sees no physical change. In fact anyone can walk up to you and say "Go my child your sins are forgiven." Who is to say they are or they are not? But to heal the body by saying, "you are healed, now stand and walk." requires immediate physical and spiritual things to transpire. First the physical body must in fact be healed but also the person must accept what is said and actually stand and walk. To God both of these are an easy task but one is immediately proven and the other is not proven until the person steps into eternity. In that view it becomes very easy to say, your sins are forgiven. No one standing there will ever be able agree or disagree this side of heaven. However to say your body is healed, now stand and walk requires immediate proof. The requirement of physical proof makes the task harder because it requires a change of perspective of the person being healed. The person being healed must also act. |
