Bible Note: Retxar Your question, "I’m tip-toeing in here bro, so please believe me that I don’t mean to stir things up, just clarify. I know you are quick to blow the whistle on anything that reassembles WOF, but must an interpretation of Isa 53 that sees it speaking of both spiritual and physical healing, (based on Matthew's commentary) make someone an automatic supporter of all WOF teaching? " My answer, "CERTAINLY NOT", “ NO” and “NO WAY”!!! And that is not what I said or intended to say. Please read my whole response. I said WOF believed Is 53:5 was talking about physical healing and therefore every REAL Christian had to walk in health. If you weren't healthy you either did not possess enough faith OR you had unconfessed sin in your life. Listen to their teaching they use a lot of words but that is exactly what they teach. If the above were true then clearly Paul, Timothy and thousands of fine Christians through the ages were either lacking in faith or walking in sin. WOF even goes to the extreme of saying Job and others brought their trouble upon themselves. Retxar the fact you read into what I was saying is the reason I jump so quickly on WOF. Their lies sound so close to the authentic that many start losing sight of what is true and what isn’t and soon their teaching gets blended in and everyone wants to know what the big problem is. Jesus did in fact provide for healing, He gave us a “holy prescription” James 5:14-15. This verse alone should prove that healing isn’t automatic, that some Christian’s will and do get sick and need healing and that God is in the healing. I have personally received healings using the prescription found in James 5:14-15 and I have prayed for many others that received a healing using this prescription. To me healing is very real and I believe in it with ALL my heart. But I also believe that God’s will over rides and accomplishes His desires before all else. Retxar thanks for giving me an opportunity to explain my position further. EdB |
