Where did I preach AGAINST "divine healing"? I did NOT state, suggest, or in ANY manner insinuate that "divine healing" does NOT still happen today! I am NOT a FOOL, nor would I ever make such a FOOLISH statement!
What I did, however, was REFUTE your assertion that "divine healings" comes about as a direct consequence of the physical beatings ("stripes") our Lord endured at the time of His crucifixion, showing how the words of Isaiah 53:5 and I Peter 2:24 are statements showing that such "stripes" were endured for the "healing" of our SINS, TRANSGRESSIONS, and INIQUITIES! |
I re-read your post...and mine. I did not refer to the sins, transgressions, and iniquities, but to
the healing of our bodies: sickness, infirmities, etc. As for the sacrifice on the cross:
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
Our transgressions (sins before we believed), and iniquities (sins AFTER coming to the knowledge
of the truth) are definitely covered. Also, you are quite correct in asserting that we have received
our peace with God. Isaiah presents
promises to all areas of our lives: spiritual (transgressions &
iniquities), mental (chastised for our peace), and physical (illnesses, etc.).
You quoted
Mk. 16:16. Yes, that is ONE-WAY to receive/impart healing: I cannot but totally
agree with you: not disregarding the "gifts", nor elders of the Church, etc.
Whosoever has repented, had their sins remitted in His NAME, and received God's gift (Holy Spirit),
then they have also received the
authority given to the Church to
"...lay hands on the sick, and
they SHALL be healed."
"...and whosoever shall direct his conversation aright, I will show the salvation of God."
