Bible Question:
Thanks for the quick response EdB Could you highlight scripture where God brings sickness on His Children, those who believe in Jesus (under the New Testament - seeing that Jesus was made a curse for us). Also considering that Jesus is the expressed image of God the Father. Jesus went around healing those who were oppressed by the devil. And when His disciples wanted to hurt those who didn't believe (order fire from heaven) Jesus rebuked them. |
Bible Answer: Hebrews 12:5-11 (ESV) And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. [6] For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives." [7] It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? [8] If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. [9] Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? [10] For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. [11] For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. |
