Humans are so limited I guess they need a god with limits so they can “relate”.
It's too bad that all of those complaining haven't been praying rather than bitching! It makes a nice "choir", but it isn't praising God. Knowledge comes from God, and healing comes from God, but the two have a tenuous connection. Jesus didn't jump off that roof!
Don't even start playing "my god is bigger". There is ONLY ONE GOD, and He is ALMIGHTY. Maybe He is calling those home Whom He wishes to have with Him, and your "congregation herein" wants it your way. We disagree on the parameters of God's will...
I believe He moves supernaturally, and can use any means (including Drs), but He likes to make miracles... and rarely uses a human medium! He wants the credit for Himself.
You can play with snakes if you wish... but my faith doesn't need any test except time!
He works the way He wishes and you cannot limit Him. He uses miracles and does it through people in order to show them His power.

rather than bitching!
Learn that at your "church"?
... Speaking of passive-aggressive attacks!
I serve the Risen God, not some charlatan.
You guys make me laugh!!! ...and weep for those who would rather trust the Doctor. God is enough.
Do I go to the DR? Yes. Do I trust God? Yes? But God will prevail for eternity, and the tests of faith come from Him, not from some hospital administration! You guys are still living in this world. Take hold of His promises NOW! You don't need another invitation. We already have His power, as joint heirs, but faith is the motivating factor.
Gal 3 23 Before the coming of this faith,[j] we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 4 1 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces[a] of the world. 4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.[b] 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,[c] Father.” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir. - NIV
PS- Don't waste your time sending those links. I won't click. It's just another OPINION, and we all know about them...
Your spite and nasty condemnation is not a good witness. I thank God for my loving Father and my church family.
You are such a lovely gentle witness for the Father./s
It wasn't an opinion. It was a video of a man who died and how God healed him. CBN stands for Christian Broadcasting Network. Your spite and nastiness will prevent you from seeing what brought him to Christ. Your loss.
He's my Father, too, FRiend IF we worship the same God. My condemantion is based on an apparent trust in man, not God. What kind of "witness" is that? No points get scored here, but I guess you like the tune being played.
This is about a feeding tube, not a life. I'd rather pray for healing, not just a stopgap solution that will still fail.
It is appointed that "all men will die". That goes for women, too.
I have been a member of the this forum for three years longer than you have, and Jim Robinson has always been very pleasant, gracious and supportive to me. What is your point?
Your piety is noted... (is that P-A enough to fit the thread?)
You have judged everyone’s faith in every post you have made and you are certain that it doesn’t measure up to yours. THAT is nasty. Nasty condemnation drives others away from God and you’ve done a fine job of displaying it. If I had to count on you for knowing Him, I’d run away.
I see. So if a person prays and isn't healed it's because of their lack of faith? That kind of claptrap hurts many and does not serve God.
Good night. You can respond, but I'm not bothering with you again. Your piety is suffocating and your attitude is abysmal.
I have less than no desire to debate theology with you.
I see you're good at straw men, too!
Too bad, so sad. Likewise, I’m sure. There will be no resolution on this thread,
but You can talk to God about it when you see Him... (and I plan to be there,too, so get used to me)!
You have no right to judge someone else's faith. None.
I just expect a higher standard from a person claiming to "speak for God".
I never claimed to speak for God. You stomped on the thread telling all of us that we didn't measure up to YOU. That's out of line.
That is what you are doing, isn't it, mr passive-aggressive?
This Grandma is aggressive-aggressive. You guessed wrong.
Your piety is suffocating
Man do you "take the cake".
Tell me why God didn't heal Paul? Was he lacking faith? Hm?
They don’t debate theology. They simply know that everyone is a lesser believer than they are. You know, kind of like the Pharisees did.
