Thank you for letting me have the last word like my mother appreciate that
No Israel became Christ People in fact ! That's why they became Christians, because they were Gods People infact, Saved ! They seen the Light !I know death is inevitable. Never know when it is coming.
The Death of Israel was seen in 70Ad.
But lucky for them that they think they will be Raptured up before hand !
My hope is not in him
You can't command God to do something and expect God to do it, but you can ask Him to do something and He might do it. When an evangelist asks God, in Jesus' name, to heal somebody, and that person is immediately miraculously healed, would you accept that as proof that God exists? It happened to me, I was healed of a back problem when an evangelist prayed for healing for everybody at the meeting that had raised their hand wanting to be healed. It was proof for me that God exists and that He cares about us!There is only evidences to suggest God exist.
You can not prove it. Tell him to strike me dead, make it happen.
Tell him, to do something make a lamp move...
Ya cant.

So you're calling me a liar?I don't believe people are truly healed in those types of places, there a bunch of people who are actors, or they are people whom have been decieved.
The only true healing is one of the heart. Regardless of your physical status, or mental status.
So you're calling me a liar?
I had been suffering with the back problem for about four months, and it just wasn't getting better. At the end of the evangelist's (Reinhard Bonnke) meeting, because the place was packed and some people were even watching on closed circuit TV from an overflow room, he said it was impractical to invite people on stage so that he could lay hands on them for healing, so he said that everyone that would like to receive a healing touch from God should raise their hand, because God didn't need him to lay hands on people in order to heal them. He then said a very simple and short prayer, something like, "Father please heal those people that have raised their hand. In Jesus' name please heal them now". There was a short pause for about a couple of seconds, and then I felt an amazing, very pleasant and enjoyable, tingling type of sensation that seemed to come down from directly above me, starting in my head and spreading down my back. It didn't extend into my limbs, just my head and spine (which makes sense as it was my lower back that was being healed). The sensation lasted maybe 10 - 15 seconds and then gently faded away.
The meeting then ended and we began to leave the theatre. I was certain that my back had been healed, but I was still wearing a sports back support and we were so packed together that I couldn't move about sufficiently to test it. Once outside the building I crossed the road and started going up the very steep steps that led up to the car park. I bounded up two and even three steps at a time to put my back to the test, and as I expected it was perfectly okay.
Later I remembered that I had multiple times asked God to increase my faith, because without a personal experience there is always a small niggling doubt that the Bible might all be made up by men and not actually true, so I only had about 99.9% faith. I then realised that God had now proved to me beyond doubt that He and Jesus were real and alive, and I now have 100% faith - but God had answered my prayers in a way I hadn't anticipated - so be careful what you ask for because God may not answer in the way you think! I'd had a similar back problem a few times before, but it always got better in one or two weeks. This last time it seemed to get better but then got worse again, and after a few cycles of that it settled down to a permanent problem last lasted for four months - up to the evangelist's meeting. It wasn't fun enduring that, but it was very much worth it!
The evening before the evangelist's meeting we had a small Bible study meeting in my home (just me, by younger brother and his fiancee, and the assistant pastor from the church that I later started attending). It was only at that meeting that the pastor informed us of the evangelist's meeting, and suggested that we go along.
For quite a while I had been trying to understand Biblical fasting, and it did not make sense to me. Nobody could gave me an explanation that made sense to me. After the meeting I asked the pastor about fasting, but he too was unable to give me an explanation that made sense to me. However, during the night, while asleep and in the middle of a nonsensical dream, God/Jesus spoke to me three words, giving, I guessed, a page number in my Bible (I only had one Bible back then). It startled me so that I woke up, and I decided to look it up in my Bible the next day. I forgot though, and eventually looked it up four days later. (I kept remembering while I was at work but I didn't have my Bible with me!) When I looked up the page number in my Bible, there was a new chapter starting at the top of the page. It was Isaiah 58, and the heading at the top of the page (NIV) was "True Fasting". So in less than 24 hours God had answered my my question about fasting and then healed my back - the best day of my life so far!
This is all totally true. I would sware that it is true, but Jesus told us not to do that - Matthew 5:33-37 (WEB):
(33) “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’(34) but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;(35) nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.(36) Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.(37) But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
The why do you bother participating in this forum?I don't believe anything one says on here.
I agree; we should alway use the Bible to determine whether what we are told is true or not - Acts 17:11 (WEB):People should never trust what people say or state and be weary of things that could possibly be false!
It's not for us to tell God what He should be doing. He will act according to His plans. God does plan to heal everyone eventually, but that time has not arrived yet. Revelation 21:4 (WEB):If God is still healing one person, he needs to be healing all people dont you think?
Some are meant to live forever on the earth. Only Christians are promised a new home in heaven. There will be a new heaven and a new earth. The New Jerusalem comes down out of heaven to earth, and God will then dwell among His people on the earth - Revelation 21:1-4 (ISV):But the truth is we arent meant to stay on this planet forever.
Maybe. But God heals our bodies too.The greatest healing is one of the heart, nothing more, nothing less.
