Been there.
Done that.
No big compulsion to go down that futile road again. I already batted my head against that brick wall far too many times.
IF AND WHEN the miracle occurs that y’all demonstrate you’ve heard me [did NOT say agreed with me],
I MIGHT be interested in a meaningful dialogue if such were to demonstrably develop.
I will note that probably the more significant healing in our congregation in the last year or so was a deaf lady.
What does that even MEAN?? Been WHERE? Done WHAT? WHAT futile road? What brick wall? God's timeline? The Book of Acts? Law and Grace? Quix, what you said doesn't even make sense. It's like you wrote a bunch of responses out and are pulling them out, one at a time, and posting them, all willy nilly. Like a Magic Eight Ball or something. "Could be." Or "Try again."....
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.
Scripture gives us the pattern for dealing with sickness. I don't see the pentecostal/charismatic movement adhering to that Scriptural mandate.
So no one is saying that God doesn't heal any more. That lady in your church was healed of deafness and that's great news.
However, that in no way validates the false teaching that exists in the charismatic/pentecostal movement.
