This is the only time that Jesus did not heal someone immediately, but allowed the sickness to end a person’s life, then Jesus did heal him by raising him from the dead. This one exception does not negate the immediate healing of vast multitudes of people in the gospels, nor does it negate the...

But dismissing the gospels as irrelevant to Christians is an unbiblical assertion. It is wrong to claim that the Lord’s Prayer, the sermon on the mount, the beatitudes, the parables about the kingdom of heaven, the promises about believing and receiving, the healings by Jesus, the Great...

One instance of sickness in a Christian does not negate all the many verses about divine healing and Jesus healing all who came to Him. Paul does NT say why Trophimus was sick. Apparently Trophimus may not have had much instruction in the scriptures and thus did not have sufficient faith to be...

You left out the next verse where Paul explains what those infirmities were. They were not sicknesses. They were opposition to his ministry and problems he encountered that made depend on God. 2 Corinthians 12:9,10 Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of...

Would you call what Paul did “babbling”? If there is legitimate, biblical speaking in tongues by Christians happening today, your calling it derogatory words may be grieving and offending the Holy Spirit. We must be careful. 1 Corinthians 14 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue...

Many Christians think salvation is only being saved from sins. They are happy to be saved from sins, so they do not go to hell when they die. But Jesus died on the cross to save us from both sins and sicknesses. Sin and sickness come from the same source, the devil. Sin and sickness are due to...

Jeremiah 44 is not saying that men of Judah will be receiving judgment for the sins of their fathers. It says they and their fathers sinned. Jeremiah 44:9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your...

And there is no damnation apart from rejecting God. A fetus or baby cannot accept or reject God. God rewards according to deeds. What deeds did a fetus or baby commit? John 3 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not...

You express the Calvinist Fantasy. Scripture does not support your view that “Salvation is not dependent upon hearing and believing...” Romans 10 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt...

Then why did Jesus say we must become like little children? “Speaking lies as soon as they are born” is hyperbole, not literal. It means they lie all the time. Babies do not speak the moment they come out of the womb. Matthew 18 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the...

No offense but Islam intends to conquer the world. A Muslim president would not set aside their own personal beliefs in Sharia law, the Qu’ran, or Mohammed.

I dare you to tell a woman who had a miscarriage or a still birth that her child went to hell because it was evil.

Here is your “loophole”. Babies and little children go to heaven when they die because they have not willfully disobeyed God. In fact, we must all become like little children to enter heaven. Matthew 18 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And...

The hair of Jesus appeared white due to His holy purity, not being elderly. The answers to your questions must be based on God’s wisdom and love. Our resurrected body will be perfect, so that must include apparent age. I think the ideal age physically is possibly 33 or 22 years old. For...

God rewards people according to their deeds. Romans 2:6 God will repay each person according to what they have done. Babies and fetuses have no sinful deeds, so they are innocent in God’s eyes. When they die, it cannot be due to their personal sins. Even when adults die, it is not always due...
