• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You're missing the point. The healing follows the repentance, and is a display of God's forgiveness. This is everywhere in the OT Prophets, who promised restoration and healing for Israel if they would repent.

I think this is one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible. Those with knowledge of the OT Scriptures understand that God "devoted some people to destruction," because God passed irrevocable judgment at times. At other times God was willing to "repent" of His judgments. Only discernment by the Spirit knows the difference.
No I think you miss the point. Those who were healed by elders were not necessarily sinners. That's what the word shows us.
