In u.s. news magazine the question was , was Jesus a healer or a teacher? My thought was both. Just opinion?

Question

I believe he was both. To me someone was bored so they wrote that article. LOL

Answer 1

He is both a teacher and healer.

Answer 2

Dear Teresa,

I did not read the article but I do read the Bible from cover-to-cover each year so I will answer on that basis.

Jesus was / is / always will be Healer, Teacher and so very much more.

Have you read Evidence That Demands a Verdict, with material compiled by John McDowell? I don't think he was the one who originated the idea but there is a section entitled LIAR, LORD or LUNATIC? Jesus was 1 of only 3 possible choices. People who don't think it through to its logical conclusion tend to say that Jesus was "a good man" however IF He isn't LORD then He is not "a good man".

I'm glad that you think Jesus was a healer AND a teacher. I really hope that He is also your LORD and Savior!
