AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 5:23 "Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? |
Subject: Why? |
Bible Note: John, No, you communicated it well, you said it was a moot question and I thought it very relevant. The question was why wasn't this man healed physically when the cause for his sickness, his sin, was forgiven and I expanded on that a bit as to why that doesn't happen in every case. I never stated you implied he was not healed, please re-read my post. We don't know when this man was physically healed, like you stated, but we know he was at some point very close if not at the time the words were uttered, is what I was stating. We also know that when we are forgiven, we are not healed physically as this man was. One can read the passage and easily assume that forgiveness can also mean physical healing and I wanted to point out that is not the case without simply disregarding the question as being moot. Are your sins forgiven John? Do you still have physical conditions that exist? When the underlying cause of those conditions were resolved, did they go away? Why not? That's where I think this question was relevant. You may think there isn't any relevance but to others, including me, it is a question well worth some time to look into. Stand in His grace, WOS |
