[Faith-talk] Healing, or not being healed

[Beth]

I got tired of all the churches' teachings in Florida, the ones 
who said that my eyes needed to be healed, and then the 
Evangelicals followed me around and said that if they do a good 
deed for me, they'll get brownie points from God.  Strange, huh.

Subject: [Faith-talk] Healing, or not being healed

I left the church because of garbage like that, and the final 
straw was that I was told that my child abuse was a punishment 
from GOD because of some sin I had committed and needed to be 
punished for.

I now know that's not at all the case, but both things made it 
difficult to want to go to church and believe in a loving 
Heavenly Father again.  It took a long time to have a strong 
relationship with him, and to find the right church, that in my 
belief, teaches the true gospel of Jesus Christ.  It took me from 
the age of 16 till I was 35 to find where I truly belonged in his 
earthly kingdom.

Healing has nothing to do with how much faith you have folks, and 
the quicker people stop telling people that, the more people will 
come to know our Heavenly Father and his glorious Son Jesus 
Christ, and the peace and beauty that goes with that knowledge of 
them.

I know what it was like to have no belief in Heavenly Father at 
all for a while, and it was the hardest time of my life.  I feel 
truly and painfully sorry for those who have no faith in Heavenly 
Father, and his love for them.

 I agree completely. I personally get tired of the implication 
that because I haven't been healed of blindness or hearing loss 
that I don't have enough faith. Those who say this don't know me 
or my relationship with my Lord.
