Bible Note: Hi Makarios, I understand that the view you have presented is held by a great many people. I have simply posted an alternate view that is also held by a great many people, and that has a solid scriptural foundation, as I presented. I understood that not all sick people are healed, nor were they, not even during Jesus' ministry. Consider the lame man that lay at the Beautiful Gate. How many times must Jesus have passed him by? Certainly the gifts of healings, wisdom, knowledge, and the others worked through Jesus like they did no other before or since. And certainly God used these to authenticate His and the apostles', and other's ministries. But that does not in and of itself negate the possibility that these gifts of the Spirit, given as the Holy Spirit wills, may be given today. Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? I simply do not see anything in the Bible that actually says these gifts end before the full maturing of the body of Christ. Makarios, I still do see these works of healing being performed in the church today. I'm not talking about Benny Hinn, or his ilk. I'm talking about the real deal. Sometimes it's God's will to heal, and sometimes He uses human agents. Anyway, like I say, I'm just sharing to other view, held by many. Love in Christ, Mark |
