Bible Note: To all the posters on this and 'Divine Healing' thread. When I was a child, in Sunday School I was assigned this B Attitude: Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Matt 5:9 Is it possible that the following is a short and simple answer to the healing/prosperity teaching, teachers/false teachers debate? When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart], and took counsel to slay them. Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, [even] as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten [them], they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Act 5:33-40 If the teachings (counsel) or ministry (work) of those labeled healing/prosperity teachers (or false teachers) 'be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it'. |
