Subject: Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? |
Bible Note: Steve I pray to the Lord my God not to get people to wrangling about my questions, God forbid! I understand your concern here, in seeing it as you see it I could wish I had phrased it much better, because as you so succinctly point out the wording is causing, well it is causing. I did try to include the following scriptures as part of my question, they are all instances where "apparently" He healed and we don't know who had faith and who did not. Mathew 4:24, 8:16, 17, 12:15 – 21, 12:22, 14:14, 15:30, 19:2, 19:14, 21:14, Luke 5:15, 9:42, 22:51, John 5:1 - 9. I get what you are saying here - we should just take it at scripture value that the Lord Jesus made judgment call and that He said it was because of their unbelief, not that "He couldn't". Bad wording. What I was seeing looking at all those other scriptures is a lack of evidence that those crowds and groups had faith, there are instances there where He is definitely dealing with lookers on who had no faith. We know Jesus power came from being God, and not from mass hysteria, or from the recipients as if He needed something from them to accomplish anything. We have too many instances where demons were cast out, infirmities healed, and in none of them does He say their sins are forgiven, nor does the Bible say they had faith. I was trying to see what the difference was. Just a worthless son. blessings abound, bowler |
