.... Undoubtedly you will say everyone involved has no faith and that is why she is sick.
You blame sick people and make them feel like they have something to be ashamed of.
Let me be the first one to call foul, that was uncalled for and presumptuous.
You have no idea of any such thing of anyone here. Wouldn't you agree?
God doesn't heal every time and you give false hope in saying He does.
Open your eyes and look around.
There can be extenuating circumstances...
That have nothing to do with anyone's faith or love of God.
I can give one example out of a few off the top of my head and very common.
Oh, and also, why can one person at a 'healing altar call' get healed while the next person does,
but it only lasts 10 minutes or less?
Belief.
A person can have faith that God is loving and has the power to heal them...
BUT, if Deep down they actually believe, even unconsciously..."..BUT I deserve this,
I have been so bad...God won't heal
me..."
That just blocked everything
!
A person can not be double minded....as in, I have huge faith and love God, but embedded in my belief system from childhood I think I am unworthy and God just will never heal a wretch like me."
And no one in the room knows this is going on , not even the sick person !
Healing is not just a simple prayer..asking for a miracle from wonderful people.
And none of the above is blame of any kind....it is unconscious.
Added: "based on compassion"? Sure, but, Jesus' power was enough to change atoms...His knowledge of Reality was such he could over ride anything...even physical laws of this dimension.
Besides, Lazarus was meant as a demonstration of God's will that all should know Jesus was who he was...Jesus never did anything that was not his Father's wishes, as he said.
It was all for the glory of God.
Right? That is how I understand it.
