Welcome to Gaia! ::

A few years ago I was in a Bible study class withmy youth group and we were talking about faith in God. Our leader was telling us a story about her neighbor. He was very sick and his heart was twisted or something like that. He was at the doctors, looking at an ultrasound or something like that of it. The doctor was explaining it to him and telling him he only had weeks left to live. Right there the man said "Satan, let go of my heart and leave me life!" On the screen the doctor witnessed a miracle. The heart untwisted and started beating regularly again. This was some 5 years ago, the man is still alive today.
Do you think that God can heal anything and everything (assuming it's in His Will)? Cancer, STDs from a rape...or even a girl's hymen if she realized that what she did in her past was wrong and now wants to have her hymen intact so she can feel the symbolic pain on her marriage bed (I was once heard this, and now I believe it to make sense, a woman's pain during her first time with her husband represents all the pain of being alone and unwed being ripped away from you because you now have a spouse who will love and take care of you. I can't remember where I heard that from, but it's a nice way to symbolize the importance of being a virgin). Heart disease, HIV, broken bones, broken hearts. Do you think it's possible for Him to heal all of these? Or has He made some rules saying there are certain things He just plain won't heal because you brought it on yourself or He doesn't feel like it? I'm just asking because...I know so many friends who have sick family members, and I myself need a healing...I'm sure some of you have guessed what kind of healing...but I can't help but question if He made certain rules to His healing rituals. What do you think?

I have a story for you: My great grandmother was called la marachelle. She was around 1900 the greatest evangelistic missionary in Europe, travelling round in a caravan preaching the word of God. She finally settled down in England, and was diagnosed with cancer, she refused treatment claiming that God would heal her, she died three months later screaming in agony, and when she went there was a look on her face of pure bliss. What does this tell me about the nature of God, that it is not subject to human rationality, but he does accept the faithful into his arms. So don't bank on God's healing in life, because it may just be your time to die. Remember that medecines are part of God's creation too and to be treated for an illness is in no way a sin, how can something that heals that many people be a sin?

I was speaking of sick-healing alone. Physical healing was included in what I said.

Well, I was.

So what about healing that isn't an "illness" or state of being? What if it's something you caused when you didn't know any better and want it healed now that you do after going through MORE THAN ENOUGH ( gonk xp ) consequences for it? Or is that unhealable because you put it upon yourself? (Note: I don't beleive God has set "guidelines" as to what can and can't be healed, I'm just asking what you all think)

yes, he can heel you! you just have to pray to him, confess your sin, and read his word
