"Are you really equating felt needs with physical and spiritual needs?"

To the person who has "felt needs", I'm sure, they are as important and I don't see anywhere in the scripture where we are to differentiate. He came to, among other things, relieve suffering and felt needs are suffering.

The scripture is Luke 18:35 on.

>>and felt needs are suffering.<<

Someone will "suffer" if they can't get a latte before the sermon?

This blind man already believed Jesus was the Messiah (Son of David) and had faith (saving faith).

Jesus did not heal Him to produce faith...you are comparing apples and oranges.

And felt needs do not equal physical needs...many/most, if not all, felt needs are not in keeping with a Christ-like character and are done away with in the sanctification process.
