The Double Cure

[Andrew]

Cougan,
"It says here that he fullfills the prophecy in Isa by doing this. By healing the sick and casting out deamons. I may get myself into trouble since I have took a good long look at it but seems to be only refering to Jesus doing this in Isa and that is exactly what he did when he was on the earth. Hence "

do u know why Jesus cld do this during his earthly walk? becos he knew he wld be going to the cross to take on our sicknesses and pains. The same reason why he could forgive sins then. Becos he knew he wld pay for every single sin by taking all of them on himself at the cross. The work of the cross is not limted by time. The OT people looked forward to it, believed it and were counted righteous. Today, we look back to it, believe it and are justified.

Anyway, most people agree that Isa 53 is abt the work of Christ on the cross. So that it says he bore our sicknesses and pains proves that it is part of the atoning work of Christ.

"Do you need definitions for the bolded words Louis?"

Nope, sure dont', it means be saved from sin as far as I'm concerned, and that's exactly what it does when you save someone Its talking of spiritual matters.

"I looked up "all" in the dictionary and this is what it says"

Really now John, you need to actually read the sentence. Those are spoken in a third person present tense (bear with me I'm recalling MS english ). This means from that point on. So again, Mark clearly shows that at that point Jesus didn't heal everyone.

"Some people want to rewrite the dictionary to suit their theology. "

Yes, i agree, and that's exactly what you are doing. Read the bible clearly and you will see Jesus didn't heal everyon and in some places he did it ONLY to prove he could forgive sins.
