But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.(2 Corinthians 11:3)
Consider this passage:
Luke 10:19 – The Believer’s Authority 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you
Note the underlined words, “all” and “nothing.” These words are absolutes, meaning that there are no exceptions. That means that there is not even one bit of power that the enemy has over us. Jesus gave us power (authority) over every single bit of the enemy’s power (ability). In addition, it says that nothing shall hurt us. That means that Jesus has given us authority over everything. Jesus is telling us that His (God’s) will is that nothing should ever hurt us and has solidified it by declaring it in His Word.
Do you see how these absolute words, like “all” and “nothing” change the meaning of the verse when you take them literally? The words, “all” and “nothing” in this verse add up to a powerful promise, but since we may not have experienced it in our lives it can be difficult to believe.
It is important to believe these promises, because God works by faith. We experience His promises when we believe they are true. Below are more words in the Bible that most Christians don’t believe. God’s Word takes on new meaning when we contemplate absolute words such as these:
∗ Any
∗ Everything
∗ Whatsoever
∗ All
∗ Nothing
∗ Whosoever
The purpose of this series of articles is not to prove that God’s Word is true, but to use the truth of God’s Word to prove divine healing. The Word of God is the foundation for all our beliefs.
When it comes to God’s Word, partial believing is the same as not believing. Partial believing is partial doubting and when you doubt (are double-minded) you will not receive God’s promises. A partial truth is a complete lie.
Do you believe God’s Word –ALL of it?

The answer is obvious. And it's not "affirmative". Anyone can see that -- even an ultracon like OPII.

After years of accepting a walnut allergy..after listening to these teachings, one day I took a bite of a choc chip walnut cookie.(who puts walnuts in CC cookies???) Anyway, all of a sudden the voice came.."you are allergic to walnuts.. your teeth will explode in pain for days and days..you cant eat this !" So I said, "time oooout!" " I dont have to accept this any more, Jesus paid the price and do I receive what is mine in Jesus name! I am going to eat this cookie and 2 MORE!" So I did and have not had any problems since!
PTL!
Is this you recommended method of being healed of allergies? Peanut allergies, e.g.? Which can kill someone severley allergic? Kinda like when doctors said they must operate immediately on Lee Stoneking, and his friends stopped them and said "No, we'll pray" and they did and he was healed? Kinda like that?
I know someone severely allergic to peanuts. Shall I show her your website and make her a PBJ?

I should add that I feel for ya, doc. I really do. I remember what it was like trying to believe things that didn't make sense. Trying to obey the command to believe. Which alone doesn't make sense! You must believe this, this, and this? Or suffer the consequences?

Thanks! We all need a little sympathy and understanding from time to time. Seekerman thinks I have misjudged you. I may be guilty as charged. Ok! How about this: I'll let you be agnostic without trying to 'save your soul." You let me pray for the sick without trying to convince me it's all fake! Deal?
After all tomorrow you'll still be agnostic and I'll still be at the hospital praying for the sick.
