God Conquers Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Again, you miss the main thrust of my argument. I TOTALLY agree that if she had touched without faith, nothing would have happened. BUT she still HAD TO TOUCH TO BE HEALED. No touchy, no healy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lumberjack Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 GC, in this case, yes, I agree...but what of the centurion whose servant was sick? didn't he say that if Christ only said he was healed, he would be? was that not an act solely out of faith? Matthew 8: [quote]5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, [b]6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.[/b] 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, [b]Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.[/b] 11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.[/quote] ---- and JS, I'll get back to you...I had a really good post, but my internet was all kinds of jacked up...I'll respond later. God bless.

God Conquers Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Totally.... that's why we can be healed through faith in deed and in prayer. So, if God allows someone of faith to be healed by touching a cloak, why not a fingernail? Maybe that same person could have prayed harder and it would have been granted, but maybe God has lessons for us to learn about ACTING in faith.

CreepyCrawler Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 [quote name='CreepyCrawler' date='Apr 26 2004, 07:44 AM'] actually i did read thru the entire thread before i posed these questions but i don't think you answered them. if you did, then you didn't answer them precisely so i'd appreciate it if you'd answer them precisely, one bye one, and thoroughly (and not just here's the bible verse and that's it. i want to know how u interpret the verse, too). thanks. [/quote] don't mean to be annoying, but u didn't answer my questions... i'm waiting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
