redwhine Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 As a Jehovah's witness I don't believe in faith healing I believe it's a fraud and a false claim , and the evidence points to that like my wife's knee it needed a surgeon , nurses , anaesthetist and pain relief , no amount of praying would of made it better. Is there any part of the bible that you do believe in? You clearly disbelieve this... John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

We prayed for her just before we left Bulawayo , she is pain free , yet her xrays and scans all say that shouldn't be case as this knee has very bad arthritis in it ! For the past 5 years she has been on strong pain killers everyday and now takes none since the night of the prayer. Hope that helps you cant explain it can you ? JWs in Bulawayo whom we work with see things slightly differently from JWs here so please don't tar all with the same brush.

There's always reports of miracle cures and recoveries, they always happen in cases where it could easily be coincidence or misdiagnosis. Nobody has ever miraculously regrown a new limb though, no matter how hard they pray. Why is this? Why does God sometimes cure people of ailments that could have easily gone away on their own or could have been misdiagnosed in the first place but never cures anyone of an affliction that can't possibly be misdiagnosed or healed of it's own accord (ie, a missing leg) ? If I remember correctly, that fellah Jesus said something along the lines of "Ask and it will be given to you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your publications maybe the same but it doesn't change the word of God , he tells us he will heal us . The lady I am talking about is actually a Jw herself and she is saying her and her family now believe she has been healed , she will travel to SA for a reacessment soon .
