[Faith-talk] Healing, or not being healed

[RJ Sandefur]

It all comes down to  bad systomatic theology. To say you should ask God to 
heal your eyes is not found anywhere in scripture. Read John nie. The lady 
who wrote Blessed Ashurance was herself blind. I've said it before and I'll 
say it again. Don't let any pastor, or any one stop you from serving in the 
church because your blind. I'm five almost four courses away from having my 
doctor of theology. RJ
