Default OT - God, then and now


"Jeff R." wrote in message
...
Faith is the key, faith in God. Abraham recieved his promise from
God by faith. Moses was given the law yet he never entered into the
promised land. You can't get there by obeying Gods law. Joshua led
the people into the promised land and they had to take posession of
it by faith. You can have faith in what you see, what the doctor
tells you, what you feel like. Faith in God is believing the word of
God over what you see and feel.


Yes. A brave admission, Roger.
Faith in God is indeed believing in that which your reasoning and your
senses tell you is absurd.


Yes, now you have it. If you believe God even though all your senses, the
doctor, and everything else tells you otherwise, then you will receive what
God's word says. Your natural condition will conform to what you believe
when you believe it based on God's word. It is much more difficult for an
amputee to believe God for a new limb then it is for someone to believe for
healing from a runny nose. It's not more difficult for God to heal an
amputee but it is more difficult to believe for God to heal an amputee.
Unfortunately you have to believe without doubting.

Just don't expect anyone to respect such faith. Its no more worthy of
respect than faith in unicorns and fairies.

We just don't need it anymore.


We must be behind times around here. Our doctors around here still have to
perform surgery and still can't cure cancer. They have to cut it out and
treat it but they can't cure it. I'm glad the Doctors in your area have
cures for all all diseases. I'm glad there are no problems and nothing to
pray for in your area, are you in Heaven?
