And perhaps you should take Joyce's advice and develop some humility. As for healing, how do you know I haven't done that? As for wealth, how do you know my financial position? I can tell you that Fred Price gives 25% of his income to his ministry. Do you tithe that much?

As for the power switch, sorry, you are wrong. God CANNOT "make" someone be "born again." If He could, Jesus would not have had to die and rise. That invalidates your whole little construct that God "can do anything He wants." God said that He "magnified His WORD even above His name," meaning that He cannot break His own promises, because then He would be like us. The Word says "Is God a man, that He should lie?" So I guess God can't do "anything," can He? He can't lie.

As for your little snip (envy? anger?) about people wearing glasses, with humans there is only so much time and energy. Faith does take energy and focus. To me, it's far easier to go to a dentist to get a filling than it is to fight the fight of faith on THAT ISSUE. But the bottom line is if you are right, the God is a liar because He said "With [Jesus'] stripes ye were healed," and He said His name is Jehovah the healing God. But you knew all that, right, because you can rightly divide the Word.

Like I said rightly divide the Word. Read 1Peter 2:24 and the passages around it to get context. You will see it has NOTHING to do with physical healing. Not that God doesn't still miraculously heal. Just know what you are quoting. Now look, you got me doing what I didn't want to end up doing.

So does that mean that with enough faith you'll never die?
