Note to self: Sum up a paragraph someone wrote, with one sentence that gives the gist of what they were saying, You will be seen as intelligent, efficient, and agree with them, without actually having to agree, at the same time.

Shhhhhh, don't let faulty human reasoning cloud the issue!

I remember my wife telling me how she went back to school shortly after her mother died of cancer and of the headmasters asking her what sin her mother had in her life that God didn't heal her.

After abruptly telling the headmaster to "Go to hell!" she stormed out. Needlessly her theology degree ended that afternoon. TV, would you have asked her that question?

What are the other ancillary reasons?

Yeah...I remember reading where Job's friends all blamed him when his life fell apart.

People like to think they are in control. If they are at fault, they can also fix it.

A VERY good point!

Your wife handled that situation with a lot more class than I would have. I'm sorry she had to go through that.

Jesus didn't put any requirement on healing. The Bible says Jesus healed everyone who asked. Even when He played hard to get, the gentile woman's belief the crumbs were enough to heal her daughter. Jesus was so amazed at the woman's faith, he healed her daughter.

Jesus did not attribute sickness to sin in a person's life. Jesus did not withhold healing from someone because of sin. That wasn't his character. He told a few people there sins were forgiven. The reason Jesus did that was because he wanted the religious people to know who He was. Christ has the power to forgive sin AND to heal.

What I've done with every excuse why Jesus doesn't heal is to line it up with the Bible and see how it matches up with the character of Christ. Every reason I've heard or read contradicts the character of Christ. If everyone is honest with themselves, they can only speculate why healing doesn't always happen.

These are the facts I live on.
The Bible is true.
If I what I believe doesn't line up with the Bible, I line up with the Bible.
The Bible says God heals all diseases. The Bible says with His stripes we are healed. The Bible says multitudes came to Jesus and He healed them all. The Bible says God doesn't play favorites. The Bibles shows us Jesus commanded his followers to heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out devils. I have to conclude that God will come through on His Word.

Unfortunately OP's don't have a great track record in the signs, wonders, and miracles department. It's a ........ shoot with OP's. There are people who left a blazing trail of healings all over the world. Smith Wigglesworth, John G Lake are a couple that come to mind. Lake had over 500,000 document cases of healing. He opened up healing rooms on the west coast which are still being used today. The city Lake ministered healings in was identified as the healthiest city in the United States at one time. There are catholic mystics who God gave supernatural power to heal people.

I haven't found a Bible answer why everyone isn't healed. Every answer I attempted from logic and reasoning doesn't line up with the Biblical concept of Christ.
