Do you believe that everyone has the potential to heal as Jesus healed?

(ps. I only say to start with the same premise that Jesus could heal to avoid going off topic asking whether he actually existed, whether he was or was not the son of god etc...)
The real question is if Jesus was a healer, why is he still dead?

Was it his connection to the Father that allowed Jesus to heal rather than any innate ability to do so?

He is NOT dead.

He sacrificed Himself for the remission of sins of HIS People, gave up the Ghost - died, and Resurrected - became alive again.

The Most High Redeemed the Children of Israel.

He is now with The Father and left with us the Comforter - The Holy Spirit - to see after us.

Make sure you read and understand before you comment.

Saying that Jesus Christ is dead is Blasphemy.

So it is said.

Quote:

Which is a very odd claim, since most Israelis are Jews who don't believe that Jesus is their savior/redeemer.

Quote:

Considering all the death and destruction that has gone on in his name, I'd say your holy spirit is doing a lousy job of protecting it's flock.

Blasphemy is a vicimless crime. You didn't know this? Huh.

Can Everyone Heal as Jesus Healed?

I would almost guarantee it since the only source we have that this Jesus guy A. was real B. Healed anything------ is the christish buybull, hardly a text without an agenda, and since it openly admits its' bias, as a source of trustworthy information, it is flawed and should not be taken seriously.
