Subject: Bible ... be “a doubting Thomas."? |
Bible Note: Hello, Country Girl, You said: “Why do you think the episode of Thomas' doubting the resurrected Lord and verifying Christ's nail prints and wound in his side was included in our Bible? If I were to show up at your door claiming to be Jesus Christ, would you not expect to see some sort of Godly endorsement of such a claim just as in the first century? It seems the same principle should be applied to anyone who claims to have powers reserved for someone actually representing God as all Bible prophets did.” OK, now I understand that you are referring to “fake” healings, fake miracles, and fake “healers”. “Naturally you know my answer to your question frin James 5 so I won't address it at all.” No, I do not know your answer. Please address this scripture: Jam 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: Jam 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Jam 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. If I must gather from your previous posts, you seem to believe that “Jam 5:16 …pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” … was only for the first century church. I am honestly not sure if this is your position concerning this scripture. “Why do you think the episode of Thomas' doubting the resurrected Lord and verifying Christ's nail prints and wound in his side was included in our Bible?” Thomas was without excuse. Jesus had already told them that He would rise from the dead. Mark 16:14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. John 20:25 The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." John 20:29 Jesus said to him, "Thomas because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Why did he say “…Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Blessings to you too, Country Girl, Pastor Glenn |
