As we know, Jesus healed EVERYONE in those massive crowds who came for healing. In other words he healed all the tough medical cases!! Jesus healings were thorough and INSTANT !! For example, Jesus completely and totally healed severely crippled people (quadriplegic). He could raise the dead—(no one is more severely ill than a dead person)!! So basically, when he was there, Jesus removed sickness and disease from all of Palestine!! So did Jesus’ massive healings result in massive THANKSGIVING or in “christianizing” Israel?? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!! SEE MATHEW 11 !!!!! In another case, Jesus healed an invalid of 38 years! Even though this guy was an extremely superstitious habitual sinner. But many others were also unrepentant sinners and vulnerable to superstitions. Some believed an angel would occasionally stir the waters of a pool near the Jerusalem Sheep Gate. Supposedly only the first person stepping into the stirred waters gets healed!! So this guy keeps trying and keeps trying for years to be the first one to step into pool but he never succeeds. But when Jesus sees the man, he has compassion and heals him !!! The man is INSTANTLY healed !!! You would think the guy would be GRATEFUL and repent !! NOPE!! The guy just keeps on sinning!! When Jesus sees the little fool again, Jesus tells him to stop sinning or something worse could happen. So did the little clown confess his sin and repent?? OR at least THANK JESUS for the healing miracle ???? OF COURSE NOT!! He just gets on his high-horse and reports Jesus to the authorities for healing on the Sabbath (which was NOT unlawful according to Moses), GO FIGURE!! SEE John 5 for details about the man. The guy wouldn’t repent or thank Jesus but he could find the time to aid and abet Jesus’ persecutors who were a bunch of false teachers!! INTERESTING!! That man is no different than people today who desire God’s goods but not God!! On another occasion, SEE JOHN 6, crowds would argue with Jesus as they denied his deity EVEN AFTER WITNESSING his many miracles!! All because he dared to confront their sin!! Even many of his of “disciples” turned away!! SEE JOHN 6 Many of his “disciples” except for the twelve, in this case, see John 6 Us sinners just don’t like to have our sin being brought up—EVEN IF ITS JESUS doing it !!! Even when we’re surrounded by many matchless miracles—We tend to cling to our sin and unbelief!! We just want the miracles but not the miracle worker!! GOD HAVE MERCY !!! Post Reply
LittleDavid View Profile History	Do Signs, Wonders and Miracles Turn People into Christians ? Posted : 7 Jun, 2020 07:15 PM Good post David. People want the miracles not the miracle worker. Like dogs they bite the hand that feeds them. I do believe in modern miracle healings but they are not typically on Benny Hinn or TBN. There is something wrong when a Church asks the poor to give to the rich. I also think Satan's "miracles" are destructive technology. The fire from Heaven in Revelation is possibly lasers or scalar weapons. Foolish people are easily decieved. Thanks Kris, sadly many want just the goods and glory but never a healer Lord who meddles with their sin. So they decide to create their own jesus in their own image. This false “jesus” >>accepts<< them just the way they are, sin and all and doesn’t demand repentance or confession of sin. Even worse, others create a false jesus who gives them salvation in exchange for “filthy rag” human works of “righteousness” Isa 64:6 But the real Jesus saves us only by his holy works of true and spotless righteousness. Romans 1:17 Ephesians 2:8 For it is by >>grace you have been saved >>through faith, and this >>not from yourselves; it is the >>gift of God, >>9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are >>God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus >>to do good works, >>which >>God prepared in advance for us to do Post Reply

Posted : 8 Jun, 2020 07:31 AM Matthew 7:21-23: Jesus says, "not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in Heaven. **MANY** will say to Me on that Day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I **NEVER** knew you. Away from Me you evildoers!' James 5:14-16: Is anyone among you sick? Let him call the elders {See I Timothy 3:1-8!} of the church, to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up . If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a **RIGHTEOUS** person is powerful and effective! Post Reply
