.....sick kids in under-funded hospitals in poor nations and so on. Could it really be that "God" only sends them to faith-heal at big crusades? ALSO, many of them claim that they can heal AIDS and "nothing is impossible with God" yet they are not flying over to Africa or South American countries to lay hands on and annoint with oil (and faith heal) the infected children and babies)?? the bible says that if someone is sick, the church elders or believers should lay hands on them and annoint them with oil. Is "God" not sending them to these people either? I doubt these children would be able to get into a healing crusade.

I have often wondered about the same thing.If I could heal with my hands and prayers, There would not be enough time in a day for me to be doing the Lords work.There would not be a sick and ailing person left by the time I was through. What's up with that. Maybe we should ask a Faith Healer for an explanation. But thats just me!!

first you do not know their every move.....not every place they go or person they have contact with is always known. so don't judge someones life when you don't know every detail of it.

second...there are many...many...evangelists that go over to africa and have huge crusades....not just the known evangelists, but also pastors and missionaries who are not as known. so yes, they are going over there and you would know that if you truly had information on what you're talking about. have you ever heard of James Roberson or Rynhard Bonhke, or marylyn hickey....just a few examples of many people who extend a hand.

third- you have answered part of your own question..."the bible says that if someone is sick, the church elders or believers should lay hands on them and annoint them with oil"....every church in every part of the world should be doing their part...its not just up to the "faith" healers....

and lastly- your comment about doubting these children would be able to get into a healing crusade is ludicrous.... have you ever been to one of these crusades? probably not...so how would you know if they would or wouldn't be able to get into one?

the bottom line is that you are making rash, generalized comments based on your limited knowledge and perspective.

my personal faith is something that i struggle with (mainly because i was never brought up with, and was introduced to it min my late teens so i'm still on the fence as to what to believe exactly)

but it is my personal opinion that God works in mysterious ways and it is not something for us humans to understand what has been set forth from the divine. If there indeed, is a God, have faith, because he will make right in the end. And if i'm not mistaken, doesn't it suggest that in the Letters to the Hebrews, Chapter 2 & 11 that one must suffer in order to be saved?

The Law is not of faith: Galatians 3:11,12
Putting trust in the law is foolish: John 5:45
It's a schoolmaster that fails every student: Rom 9:31

Pure Grace heals all by abolishing law,
which is the root cause of all dis-ease.

Flush your accusational & condemning law,
and dis-ease will vanish like the dead sea.

Grace --> Mercy ---> Peace with you all. Amen.

i come across it impossible to face up to at the same time as persons who haven't any idea reply questions. Jesus became once a witness for Jehovah and Jehovah's Witnesses do not overlook themselves Christians, even if extra heavily customary after the conventional century Christians formerly than all the Apostles died. first of all, witnesses were called Bible scholars and some stated them as Russellites. Witnesses observed the p.c. out Jehovah's Witnesses interior the 1931. Russell initially did not choose them named rather of to easily be called Bible scholars. yet they did ultimately undertake the p.c. out utilising scriptures like Isaih 40 3:12 ""you're my Witnesses" says the Lord" in case think ofyou've got ever taken the time to take heed to a JW or flow to a assembly, Jesus is a necessary understanding. God appointed Jesus to almost sit in His stead ("area" for you youthful ones). Jesus only choose became once to do his Father's will which he complete so completely that he suggested his followers at 1Peter 2:3, "He that hath seen me hath seen the daddy". There are different scriptures that let us know that noone can see God and stay, so Jesus became once telling them that his moves, personality, beliefs, and so on reflect those of Jehovah. considering Jesus gave his life to purchase lower back what Adam lost, he grew to change into "Savior" to many. That became once God's will. What about the saying of God's p.c. out. some Witnesses call God with the help of Yahweh and there are different proper translations. If i'm called Jose rather of Joseph with the help of my mexican friends, i do no longer disown them. If Jehovah isn't the perfect translation, i'm certain at the same time as the time comes the God of love will let us know even if than damage us. do not a number of y'all think stupid now.

There have been many churches in Darfur and southern Sudan, for instance, and they were forced to leave, so that doesn't hold water. Many churches are supporting churches in China where the pastor is in prison for his beliefs. My own church supports an orphanage in India. That is repeated thousands of times over and over. Where do you get your information?

I wasn't only speaking of "faith healers." I don't how many are not spirit-based, but obviously some are out for the money.

if your god is not Todd, he is basically a control freek and cares nothing for your kids just like he didn;t care for abrahams kids.

also perhaps its in the back of gods mind that the people he send to annoit are the very ones hes hoping will catch aids.

Faith healers, fortune tellers, etc., all are fakers and money takers.

God specifically says to stay away from these charlatans and sorcerers.

Faith healing is a fraud. It's a simple as that.
