Paul raised the boy he bored to death.
Well, he bored the boy to sleep and he fell to his death.

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts..."

Thanks for proving that the word of God is true.

I'll tell you why. Nobody really beleives anymore in the working power of the Holy Spirit, or that God truely exists, let alone that Jesus was a real person. Furthermore Paul was able to heal the sick and raise the dead because he truely beleived, and was called into the ministry for which that healing power comes. Last rites were instituted by the Catholic church.

Mark 6:13 - the apostles anointed the ill with oil and cured them. this could be a sacrament of the Catholic Church instituted by skill of Christ which heals us bodily and spiritually. James 5:14 - the presbyters (clergymen) are called to anoint the ill with oil and pray over them. Their sins are forgiven. it is the sacrament of the ill, that's called severe unction. James 5:15 - throughout the sacrament of the ill, the priest's prayer of religion will "save" the ill guy, and the Lord will strengthen him up. The be conscious "save" comes from the Greek be conscious "sozein" meaning an eschatological saving of existence from dying. James 5:14 -15 - those verses show yet another occasion of ways clergymen effect the forgiveness of sins (right here, even without confession) by skill of the potential of Jesus Christ. Protestants have not have been given any available exegesis of this passage different than to renowned the sacrament of the ill. Gal. 4:13-14; 2 Tim. 4:20 - Paul replaced into stricken with affliction. those verses coach that no longer all ailments have been cured interior the apostolic age. "For they're ambitious sufficient to teach, to dispute, to enact exorcisms, to undertake remedies--it is even to baptize." Tertullian, Prescription, 40 9 (A.D. 200).

Last Rites mean that a priest asks the person on their death bed if they believe in God or the Devil. If they believe in God, then they may go to Heaven or Purgatory to do penace to atone for their sins. If they believe in the Devil, they will surley go to Hell and be with Satan.

Priests cannot perform miracles. No one has been able to raise the dead since the original apostles died.

The rites are a ritual I have not seen in the bible as one to be performed.
Paul and Jesus were prophets. Preists are witnesses, not prophets.

Lack of faith - they're tied up in religion without realizing the power of God.
