Subject: scripture on healing |
Bible Note: Pastor Glenn I try to understand where Catholics and other denominations are coming from. I enjoy seeing how say the orthodox read scripture different than the evangelicals, who read it different than the reformers, who read it different than the Pentecostals who read it differnt than the Baptist and etc. In this case most denominations and especially Pentecosatals see James 5:13-16 as a prescription for healing, while the Catholics view it more as instructions for performing "Last rites" Kind of divergent points of view, that I thought would be interesting to explore. Not many non catholics are aware of the Catholic point of view on these scriptures except other clergy trained in pastorial care/pastorial counseling. I thought since you title yourself pastor it would be a opportunity to discuss this subject with a non Catholic. I was sure Emmaus would involved and lend a catholic view point. No big deal EdB |
