I think so. We are guaranteed not just physical as well as spiritual healing. He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for iniquities.

You've missed the point. The healing being discussed in Isaiah 53 has nothing at all to do with physical healing. It's spiritual healing, that is, the healing of the sin-plagued spirit, said disease contracted at the Fall of man, which is, of course, why "He was wounded for our TRANSGRESSIONS, bruised for our INIQUITIES; our PUNISHMENT was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed [of these things]." It doesn't say He was wounded for our diseases, bruised for our illnesses; our physical affliction was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. It would have if this were talking about physical healing, but since it doesn't it is inappropriate to apply this verse to any dogma related to healing. NOTE: I am not saying that there is no physical healing, just that THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE is not talking about physical healing, but spiritual healing.

Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Remember that the words of God are spiritual most of the times. John 6:63 says that. If that verse in Isaiah means healing, it is more on spiritual. The sickness being referred there is sin and that is where we were saved by Christ.
Miracles now are being used by false preachers to promote their enterprise.

Well first off, this is supposed to be a prophesy of Jesus.
Second, Jesus states that he has come to save ONLY the lost sheep of Israel.
Not the world.
Third, Jesus saves us through his teachings and shows us how to live our lives.
Whether or not we are saved is still entirely up to us, and is by no means guaranteed.
I'll explain:
Jesus stated quite clearly to the woman that fell to his feet that he was only there to save the lost sheep of israel.
Or in other words, to save the people who had turned away from God, by making them believe again and repent.
By being beaten and pierced, the scripture had come true and it was a sign that hebrought a message from God.
A sign.
That sign was designed to make you believe in God, and in the words Jesus spoke, and by doing so, changing your ways and becoming free of sin.
It is in this way that we become save through Jesus.
And this is what Isaiah is refering to.

What about all those children suffering from terminal disease. No healing going on there. If God wants them in heaven why even botherbringing them into this world? What can we possibly learn from this?
