Re: Even Jesus couldn't heal everyone

Does Dr Vaughn recognize healing and miracles are two different things? Jesus may not have performed the miraculous because of unbelief, but it didn't stop him from healing those who came to him.

If doubt stopped Jesus from performing miracles, who was the person that believed Christ would raise Lazerus from the dead? Everyone raised questions of unbelief. Who was the person who said I believe Jesus is going to raise Lazerus from the dead?

There are other cases where Christ did miracles in the presence of doubt.

The Greek word for unbelief in the text in Mark is apistia. Apista has other definitions including distrust. If you read the various accounts, the hometown leaders went a step further than unbelief. They ridiculed Christ. It was their sarcasm that made Jesus decide not to perform miracles.

The Bible is full of miraculous events in the midst of doubt. For every confident David, there is a doubting Gideon.

I think the reason Jesus didn't heal many people in Nazareth was because a few people showed up with needs. While miracles didn't happen, it's safe to assume that Jesus healed all who came to him.
