Words in the Bible Most Christians Don’t Believe
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:3)
Consider this passage: Luke 10:19 – The Believer’s Authority 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you Note the underlined words, “all” and “nothing.” These words are absolutes, meaning that there are no exceptions. That means that there is not even one bit of power that the enemy has over us. Jesus gave us power (authority) over every single bit of the enemy’s power (ability). In addition, it says that nothing shall hurt us. That means that Jesus has given us authority over everything. Jesus is telling us that His (God’s) will is that nothing should ever hurt us and has solidified it by declaring it in His Word. Do you see how these absolute words, like “all” and “nothing” change the meaning of the verse when you take them literally? The words, “all” and “nothing” in this verse add up to a powerful promise, but since we may not have experienced it in our lives it can be difficult to believe. It is important to believe these promises, because God works by faith. We experience His promises when we believe they are true. Below are more words in the Bible that most Christians don’t believe. God’s Word takes on new meaning when we contemplate absolute words such as these: ∗ Any ∗ Everything ∗ Whatsoever ∗ All ∗ Nothing ∗ Whosoever The purpose of this series of articles is not to prove that God’s Word is true, but to use the truth of God’s Word to prove divine healing. The Word of God is the foundation for all our beliefs. When it comes to God’s Word, partial believing is the same as not believing. Partial believing is partial doubting and when you doubt (are double-minded) you will not receive God’s promises. A partial truth is a complete lie. Do you believe God’s Word – ALL of it? |

So why don't you tell me why you will not? |

My question was, "Is there any specific area in which you can demonstrate that I do not believe the Word?" That was what you were accusing me of, wasn't it? Not our ministry outreach. |

(I shudder to think what you ministry entails for hospice.) OK, here is a specific scripture that you do not believe: Is any sick among you? call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.Now you will say you do believe it. But you don't. And why don't you? Because you know it isn't actually true. And you will say that you practice it. But you don't. You only practice it when you think it might "work". Back pain. Cancer. Headaches. Can't raise arm higher than this. Maybe a leg shorter than the other. These healings "work" because they are not immediately verifiable. Cancer can and very often does go into remission, sometimes even without medical treatment. (Though I bet you have taken credit for many a cancer "healing" that God accomplished through chemo and radiation.) Pain is subjective -- adrenaline and endorphins can hide it completely. That's how you get your 60-70%. No? OK, show me video and documentation of a Downs Syndrome healing, or an amputee's healing. What do you do at the hospital 3 times a week? Do you go room to room and heal 60-70% of the patients? I'd like to see it. Seriously. I will travel to your city and watch, if you claim that this is what happens. How about raising the dead? I'd bet good money that you once prayed for someone who wasn't breathing, and they suddenly started breathing again. And it was purely coincidental that paramedics were also trying to raise him or her. You do not go into a morgue and raise anyone. And you won't. You know that it will not work. Your batting average would fall drastically if you tried it. From your "Miracles In Action" site: Do You Make Excuses for Failure?What do you do 30-40% of the time, Dr. Yates? |

Matthew 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?

"A sincere seeker will discover that I am right." But I won't. It's dishonest, and cheap, and, as I said, convenient. |
