Before you run...I really do have a softer side.
Matthew 17:20
"He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."
When I was asked if I saw this as literal or in a spiritual sense, I stopped and thought...literal I guess? Now, I don't know about you, but I haven't moved any mountains lately. And --lol--I think the last time I truly gave this verse some serious deep thought (10 yrs ago), I thought "Wow, I really envy people who could have soooo much faith, they could move mountains, they'd kill it in the construction demo business!!"
Sounds goofy, but I think I really thought that?
I say that sort of jokingly, but I guess it would make sense it would be spiritual?
I shared with BananaPie about knowing a man who actually helped/cured ( with our Lord's grace) people with MPD. (Multiple Personality Disorder) They came to Christ and rid themselves of their "other personalities."
I didn't share this story though:
I traveled a bit awhile back and met a group that showed me how their group was close with one another, and taught Bible classes, accepted donations but didn't use it, until the Lord saw fit for them to give it away. They told me how they prayed for weeks over a fellow woman who gave her life to Christ recently,--- she was cleared of all cancer, within days.
Like I wrote to her, imagine how the scientific/heath care community would feel seeing that Christ can do, what their textbooks claim was next to impossible? Amazing! So I finally got that followers of Christ can do amazing things through faith alone?: like "move mountains".
I'm interested in who might have taken a Bible passage wrong, and when and what they finally saw/read -to see it in a different light? These type of stories are encouraging.
