You are missing the Point of Christianity
quote:
Not to mention it would also be a great witnessing tool; if I were convinced that once I believed, I would never catch a cold, have to wear contacts again, suffer from a broken bone, then I would convert this second!
You are taking the stance of one who is only seeking to better himself, one that would believe anything for the chance of a reward. The reward God has offered us is something you need faith to see. Healing isn't the miracle God wants us to beieve upon. Jesus Christ dying for us is what you need to believe. ------------------ Psalm 14:1 The Fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

Re: You are missing the Point of Christianity
Its people like DC85 that make me almost belive some of the stuff Wittgenstein said. It seems that DC85 is outside my universe of discourse. Seriously, study up a little on Christianity before you make such brash claims. Its extremely hard for someone outside a religion to critsize it, overcomming these barriers can be hard work. ------------------ "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstein

Re: You are missing the Point of Christianity
Hi, Proph! Yes, according to Christianity, Jesus is the focus. However, this thread is regarding physical healing, and why aren't all Christians healed after they are saved.

sorry I went off topic.... but then again did I? Doesn't a believer in another religion also Believe in healing? It just bothers me that they can say "you need to believe in Jesus to be saved" yet they won't tell us why there religion is the right one [This message has been edited by DC85, 09-29-2003]

Oh really? Well judging that the Bible is the most accurate collection of books ever (siloam tunnel, kings, dates, times) and countless people come here and preach about christianity being the "right one" and WHY it is,you probably can't read or your trying to nullify christianity. And yes you are off topic and i shouldn't have even responded.

Ah, I guess you didn't hear about the story. They tried to call on god to "heal" the boy of his "demons", ended up killing him. Why didn't god step in and do something? I assume I'm in the correct topic "Prayer, faith and healing". ------------------ "Army: A body of men assembled to rectify the mistakes of the diplomats." - Josephus Daniels [This message has been edited by Maneuver, 09-29-2003]
