[Faith-talk] Healing, or not being healed

[Jeanette]

all people are sinners and unfortunately there are those in places of 
authority in churches  and folks who teach what they believe to be the truth 
and are so missinformed, it is sad, Jesus  himself says in the bible that 
sinis not why sickness occurs and we all know that blindness or any other 
disability is not a punishment nor is child abuse or anything like that. 
there are many things being taught in some churches these days that are not 
from the Bible, i think it is called tickling the ears in the bible, it is 
sad, but true.
I am so glad you came back to your faith, many many of us have walked away 
for many reasons and retunred, just like the prodigal son, we come back.
