The point is there is no substance to prove wrong... you just said God told me something thats not in the Bible HA now, prove me wrong!
Why would God need a physician to accommodate the minister? That makes no sense, Jesus wasn't a physician and people came to him for healing.
It has no substance whatsoever.

Hmmmm. The problem with your argument, in my opinion, is that it's easy to wait until after God acts, or does. The challenge lies in trusting Him whether He does or doesn't.
Without putting these next words to any specific test.....
IMO, trusting God's benevolence and perfection is independant of faith. Faith is a specific operation in RESPONSE to God revealing his purposes (by hearing or seeing).
The 'challenge' you introduce is a response to your confidence in God's general goodwill, his motives toward us....not in regards to any SPECIFIC item or circumstance you are presently involved in.
If you feel differently, I will not attempt to further any discussion on this aspect of what some may call symantics, but I wanted to reply to your post.

It is based on scripture, so if you want to see it for yourself, then study them.
Who taught you how to hold a conversation? LOL!!! If you make a statement, YOU should be the one backing it up with evidence and proof.
I can't imagine the looks I would get at the dinner table if I sat down and said, "Jesus had purple hair." "Huh? What? Where does the Bible say that?" To which I intelligently reply, "Prove me wrong. Go search the scripture for yourself."
ROFL!!!!!!

mz bratti,
we all frequently make HUGE conclusions from what the scriptures are SILENT concerning.
I am not particularly up on the specifics of the pointed exchange between O.M. and the rest of the field but....I thought I would post this.
Using your fun example surrounding dinner at the Bratti house:
Jesus had purple hair!
....
Show me in the bible where is says he doesn't!

I see what you are saying. You are right. We disagree, but I don't think we're all that far apart from each other.
