Bible Note: Greetings Bows44! I apologize, I did not mean to state that you did not have the gift of healings yourself. But I surely know that I personally have not been blessed with this gift. When I place my hand on a person who is sick, the illness is more likely to attach itself to me rather than going out of the person.. :-) I do not tell you this out of any "unbelief", I simply know that this particular gift was not in God's original design to bless me with. However, I do see a rather large disparity between that which is given to us in Scripture and that which we have today. While I do not deny that others 'could' have this gift, I simply do not see any true evidence of this gift in the church. I know that you have come into this discussion rather late, and I appreciate your contributions. But I believe that there is very little more that could be added, and it does not seem very promising that more useful information will be dealt with. For that reason, I am attempting to close this discussion. But I still remain unconvinced that my position is correct, and I am comfortable with that, even though I may not have enunciated my position in the best possible way. Blessings to you, Makarios |
