    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    Thank you. While I still pray for her health, we've seen how God has used her illness. Prayers for you as well.

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    This isn't about you, so stop playing the victim. It's not how men should act. You have done this every time your views are challenged. Your view is untenable. If I tell you why my wife hasn't been healed, it will go directly against what you claim is the truth. I guess that's why you've...

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    Then why the inconsistency? You cannot say on one hand that Christ still heals those who don't have faith, and then on the other that my wife isn't healed because of the fallen world and because you don't know the circumstances. Your two views do not match up.

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    So are you changing your view that Jesus heals the same way today as He did in His first coming?

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    You are the one who equated today with the times of Jesus (which was just as fallen as today). So please explain why, if He was willing to heal some regardless of their faith, my wife is not healed.

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    You don't know what scripture says, yet you are sure of your position. I'll educate you, then. There are many cases in scripture where Jesus (or the apostles) healed without faith of the recipient being necessary. At least two cases involve people who didn't even ask to be healed. Yet there's...

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    How many were healed that didn't have faith?

    I don't understand the question.

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    You do not believe God can work through sickness to bring Himself glory. You only think He's glorified if people are healed and prosperous. If they aren't, it isn't because of God, but because of their limited faith. That's putting Him in a box.

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    Believers never walk in cursings. The only cursing we are subject to is being in the flesh. Which is why we all die physically. But believers are given every spiritually blessing. You think you are so much more spiritual because of your beliefs. In fact, you have so limited what you know...

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    Here's a note from the MacArthur Study Bible on that passage: Phil. 4:13 I can do all things. Paul uses a Greek verb that means “to be strong” or “to have strength” (cf. Acts 19:16; 20; James 5:16). He had strength to withstand “all things” (Phil. 4:11–12), including both difficulty and...

    The mistake of preaching only happiness

    It would appear that some think you cannot be happy if you are afflicted, and that the affliction must be relieved to enjoy God. Paul would disagree. 10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no...

    Stopping to think ....

    You are describing sanctification. I'm not talking about growth. I'm talking about birth.

    Pagans will be pagans.

    Stopping to think ....

    I don't think there are stages that one goes through as they become a Christian. One is born again. There may be stages of realization, though.

    It would great if someone could say something slightly meaningful to the discussion.

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    Since you have such great faith, please heal my wife. I'll let her know it's coming soon. Thanks.

    Probably. I've been in it for the past two days. I think it has finally left the Midwest.

    Following Prophecy

    Keep in mind, Matthew was pretty good at identifying when prophecy was fulfilled.

    Stopping to think ....

    I don't think it's that challenging. But then again, I am a presuppositionalist. So I believe that the natural man suppresses the truth. The only way to convince him is by the working of the Holy Spirit. Romans 1:16 says it's the gospel that saves. There's nothing about a convincing...
