Inspired scripture vs. uninspired man's wisdom

This simplistic error fails on several points. Besides failing to recognize the difference between could not and would not and it also fails to recognize the fact that although Jesus did not rush to heal Lazarus from his sickness when called by the sisters, he certainly did do so in his own timing -- because only a fool would attempt to argue that Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead WITHOUT HEALING HIS SICKNESS.

So the healing from the sickness took place a few days later than the sisters would have liked but simply because the timing didn't fit man's wisdom is a silly rationale for trying to suggest that Jesus "could not" heal Lazarus when Jesus undoubtedly gave him the ultimate 'complete recovery'.

Moreover in response to your foolish attempts to paint Jesus as mistaken or lying, I will simply quote Jesus:
Quote:
Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures
At one point you dare to ask, Does the scripture say it or not? but of course you have already made it clear that you feel that your words should substitute for the words of God's inspired writer. For what scripture ACTUALLY says is:
Quote:
This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
However you clearly prefer to take away the original words of scripture and add your's in their place for you consistently substitute your own reinterpretation in an effort to put your words in Jesus' mouth -- as if your words were just as good:

Your willingness to restate God's word in "other words" in an effort to pretend that the scripture means WHAT YOU SAY is your problem.

The fact is Jesus did NOT say what you falsely claim he said and therein lies root of your self-deception.

I point this out not for your benefit, for if pride will allow you to believe that your own "other words" are equal to those of God's inspired writer's, then one should have no expectation that you would suddenly decide to change your behavior. But rather I am posting this (and will do so without further explanation) to hopefully dissuade anyone who might be tempted to be deceived by your bait-and-switch attempt to paint Jesus (in post 6 especially) as either in error or a liar.
