Bible Note: Greetings Jeff, its not a teaching. The teacher says this is their opinion and anyone may disagree with them. The passage studied is James. The chapter is Chapter Five. The verse is 14. What we know from experience is that not every person who follows these steps is healed. We know that because we have all or some of us followed these instructions and the person did go on and die a physical death. (And as a side we know some believe, me as well, that is a healing, going on to heaven) But some believe this is a physical healing here and now. So the question is why are some healed and some not. Then the teacher's personal explanation was given. (I don't take it to a wider meaning as to people's faith because I think that is just cruel to tell people they weren't healed because they didn't have enough faith.) The explanation made sense to me that the healing was initiated by God and the person who was sick followed the call to the elders and so on. Anyone may disagree. Just wanted to add that to the discussion. I thought it made good sense. Val |
