[Faith-talk] Relationship Issues

Mon May 15 05:46:26 UTC 2017

Hi,

I grew up in the Bible belt myself, only having come up here in 09 to Illinois.

It seemed as though most of the churches that you walked into had to touch your head and heal you. It was not OK for you to be blind. It was not understood that they will be done in the Lords prayer means just that. If he wills that you will see then that's fine what did they lay hands on you or not.

Again, I am for size, to all churches north or south. That it is OK to be blind. The Lord does not expect us all to see properly. If he did, there would never be any blindness ever. There would be no blind people to heal back in the day.

I am sure though, in those days as these that there were blind people that not all blind people were healed even in Jesus time. So, if that's the case then, why not now.

So, that's my two cents. For all it's worth :-) God bless you guys at least till tomorrow

Jenny
