When Christ's atonement caters to both salvation of soul and healing of body, selectively denying assurance of healing needs healing not my senses. Paul's thorn was to prevent him from self-exaltation & help him exalt Christ's grace through faith. So your thorn simply is an indicator you aren't...

Being privy to God's will on salvation and not being privy to healing is selective and denying the latter as unbelief of the atonement also makes no sense. Faith in Christ's atonement for both salvation and healing is exaltation of Christ. Bringing in Paul's thorn to justify being in sickness...

Were you privy to the specifics of the active will of God regarding salvation alone and not regarding healing? Is "not being privy" another way of saying "Help me my unbelief about healing" according to Mark 9:24? Paul's thorn was due to exalting himself (2 Corinthians 12:7) rather than exalt...

If salvation is part of the atonement and we are saved now, why not healing which you agree is also part of the atonement? Secondly, "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life (John 11:25)". If healing is guaranteed in the resurrection and Jesus is the resurrection, why not healing...

What constitutes being in communion with Christ. Seems the works of the moral law is sneaked in!

Bible never talks about works based salvation.

If the church committee knows what the moral law is, they should first live in perfect compliance to it according to Mathew 5:48, before preaching it to others.

Faith which is supplied by God to His elect will be seen in the elect. Thus they would say "it's God's will to protect me" rather than "if it's God's will He will protect me".

When the church committee knows what the moral law is, and yet claim they are not sinless rather than shed blood in order to live sinlessly, aren't they living in blatant sin?

So how was Epaphroditus healed? Without faith in the atonement which also heals, God is not pleased. Healing or salvation is not the primary issue. Faith in Christ's atonement which pleases God is.

So you agree you have faith (assurance) you are saved & Jesus could heal?

She didn't receive without faith.

Analogies are used to support a theory. You haven't stated your counter theory to mine. Analogies make no sense without a theory. My theory is this: You seem to assume human freewill decides human history & God is a puppet! What is your's?

Simply quoting some analogy doesn't mean the analogy isn't nonsense. You seem to assume human freewill decides human history & God is a puppet!

Faith is the assurance one is saved from wrath. So are you living a life without assurance of salvation?

Hebrews 11:6: "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him".

Both God's word and our personal faith are given by God according to His eternal plan. Do you deny God's plan for human history?

Very true.

This is a good one!

Christian life is not sitting in a laidback manner saying, "If it's God's will He will protect me". Instead christian life is a battlefield (Ephesians 6:11: "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil"). God makes His elect to fight the good...
