Oops! You failed to note the course of action the one who is "afflicted" must take -
"Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray." (
James 5:13)
Why must the one who is "afflicted" pray for his healing, when one who is "sick" are commanded to "call for the elders of the church" to come and pray for their healing?
What's the difference between an "affliction" and a "sickness"? And why the difference in their response for remedy?
