First, Jesus didn't heal everone He came in contact with. He was selective.

So, you know of those that Jesus sent away unhealed ?

Per my reading of the scriptures, Jesus healed everyone which came to Him for healing.

Second, please define "love" as an attribute of God.
Roman 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;

5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.

7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends; ...
Third, does enlighten mean shine on or shine in?

En - lighten ?

Well, ... I'd say 'shine in' for $100, Alex.

Fourth, how dead is dead?

Finally, ... this looks to be a one for God.

[1] ***So, you know of those that Jesus sent away unhealed ?***

John 5 Pool of Bethesda. A great multitude of infirmed people, yet Jesus singles out ONE and heals him. In fact this one didn't come to Jesus for healing. Jesus knew his condition and approached him. Read the account.

[2] I think you mean 1 Corinthians 13 not Romans 13. In context, this is a description of love between humans (specifically the church). Love is not jealous. Yet God says He is a jealous God. Give a definition off love as the attribute of God.

[3] ***En - lighten ?*** That is based upon the English translation. Is that the meaning of the greek?

photizo = give light to, light, shine on; bring to light, reveal, make known; enlighten, illumine.

[4] Dead is dead. You should have taken that one for the Daily Double.
