A LOT of people do that. Not just the fundamentalists.

But enough of these insults---back on track. Let's review wallflash's finding:

Jn 4:46
Jn 5:7
Jn 6:2


This guys claim it means weary is bogus and an attempt to explain away the fact that people don't get healed from following James' instructions.


So you see, folks. James was referring to physical healing, not spiritual like Mike would like to trick us into believing.

Defenses against the original Greek meaning?

You're a latent fundamentalist, even if you don't want to admit it, perry.
I don't admit to fools, in fact it is an injustice to reply to one.

Whatever you say, perry. Anyone can see you haven't a thing substantial to offer this issue.

Again, anyone care to argue the original Greek? James was specifically referring to physical illnesses. And God doesn't cure them. Face it. James made a promise for God that God was unwilling to keep.

All it took was me hearing the Genesis story. That started the first, well-now-that-ain't-right domino tumbling.

And the rest of it pretty much failed in the making-sense department, so it was easy for me to seek answers elsewhere.

What percentage of Christians (among those who have had access to reading the Bible since the Reformation) have even read the book of James?

Do you think sin is not a physical illness, one who is constantly and consistently wrapped up in a downward spiral such as porn that we were talking about on another thread. We need to pray to the Lord to get us out of our harmful sins. He will heal all who abide in Him. You need to attend a good bible class seriously. A Deist, um ?

Can't wait to see what your next inane thread is about.

Wow. Physical illness, huh? Considering how many Christians look at porn it's a good thing the Affordable Care Act was passed.

But you're not, perry, despite your repeated attempts to be so. Nobody's laughing except you.

Sin is a physical illness. Now I've heard it all!

Christians sin every waking hour. David was conceived in sin or so the story goes. I don't see every Christian alive in a hospital bed. I've seen ton of them in psychiatric wards, though, which should give you a hint the kind of illness lots of Christians live with.

Your attempt to derail the point of the thread with silly remarks is obvious, perry. I won't let that happen.
