Bible Note: Hello Jesified I won't pretend that Jesus didn't do as you stated nor that I can do the same without error. With the cut-and-paste method I can use the old joke (verses taken from ESV): Matthew 27:5 He went and hanged himself. Luke 10:37 You go, and do likewise. John 13:27 What you are going to do, do quickly. Whether application was attempted toward you or me, it would be ridiculous. If the Scriptures say all these things were accomplished the way you state (that both spiritual and physical healing is guaranteed), it must be consistently drawn from and applied from Scripture. You have not done so. As to your 2nd paragraph on building up faith: Faith is NOT built up by hearing the Word. It is built up by obedience to the Word. When the disciples requested increased faith, the Lord Jesus told them: Luke 17:7-10 (ESV) "Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down at table'? [8] Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink'? [9] Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? [10] So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.' " The building is in the doing, not the hearing. Steve |
