Bible Note: Hi Van, This question has been posed multiple times here on the SBF. once again, I don't think anybody is saying God doesn't or can't heal today. He does and He alone is Sovereign (Ps. 115:3)! The 2 questions that need to be asked in examining the veracity of these "so-called-miracles" are: 1. Is it normative? In others words does God always and at all times in every situation heal or do miracles? 2. What were the purpose of the miracles wrought by Christ and His disciples? I would submit on the latter, that the miracles were not done soley to heal the individual but to attest to and authenticate His Messiaship! The miracles were proof that He was the Messiah. As for the disciples, they were proof that they were truly apostles.(Note Ex. 4:8-9) Let me ask these questions: Do we seek Christ alone? Is he enough? He is Supreme and Preeminent! (Col. 1:18) Do we need healings or miracles more than we need the Lord Jesus Christ? Speaking the Turth in Love, BradK |
