OK but the quote you made said nothing about physical blessings that is another topic, you did a bait and switch, you quote talked about the healing power of Yahshua an YHWH then you made it about land promises, it's like you can't help but put your own ideas onto me as if it were true, sorry but your imagination of my doctrine is of no meaning and is empty.
Are you "allergic" to the Messiah and His teachings also? How come a thread can't be made to focus of the Messiah? I would think a religion about Him would be glad to focus on Him...
John 14:23-26, “יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him. He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me. These Words I have spoken to you while still with you. But the Helper, the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.”

Except you are not really addressing what I was saying, possibly I did not word it clearly, so Paul says:
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more..
Yahshua says: "These Words I have spoken to you while still with you" that means while He was in the flesh and that the holy Spirit would bring these words to mind...
26, “יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him. He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me. These Words I have spoken to you while still with you. But the Helper, the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.”

Of course, His disciples, and what did He tell His disciples to teach? "teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you"
Matthew 28:19-20, “Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age.”
Therefore what He taught in the flesh is still valid
Matthew 28:19-20, “Therefore, as you go, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you each and every day until the end of the age.”

No John is saying to abide in what the Messiah taught: "staying in the teaching of Messiah" and warning not to follow other doctrines/false teachings.
2 John 1:9-11, “Everyone who is transgressing and not staying in the teaching of Messiah does not possess the Mighty One. The one who stays in the teaching of Messiah possesses both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house nor greet him, for he who greets him shares in his wicked works.”

Never said it was not loving
Matthew 12:50, “For whoever does the desire of My Father who is in the heavens is My brother and sister and mother.”
John/Yahanan 12:48, "He who rejects Me, and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day."
Mat 25:31-46, “And when the Son of Aḏam comes in His esteem, and all the set-apart messengers with Him, then He shall sit on the throne of His esteem. And all the nations shall be gathered before Him, and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats. And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the Sovereign shall say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the reign prepared for you from the foundation of the world for I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, I was in prison and you came to Me. Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, ‘Master, when did we see You hungry and we fed You, or thirsty and gave You to drink? And when did we see You a stranger and took You in, or naked and clothed You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and we came to You? And the Sovereign shall answer and say to them, ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you did it to Me. He shall then also say to those on the left hand, ‘Go away from Me, accursed ones, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his messengers for I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, was naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me. Then they also shall answer Him, saying, ‘Master, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not serve You? Then He shall answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.”

Health is a physical blessing to me. In fact, as the saying goes, "The true wealth is actually health", there is no point being rich with money if your health is failing.
So I don't understand your strong reaction here. If you need to clarify what you believe, you could do that in a cordial manner like what I have been doing with you so far right?

You know what, I see the healing as spiritual first, also I didnt get mad, I typed words. You went to land promises, something that was not at all mentioned in your quote, what you said I agree with, but you keep changing topics.
You started with healing, then went to land promises...then back to healing, again I totally agree with what you are saying but you are saying one thing, when I reply you are switching.

When you keep using the term "land blessings", are you referring to promises to Abraham's descendants regarding the physical land that will be given to them?
I did not mention that right?
And what exactly do you mean by "spiritual healing", do you mean to say you regard that healing that my senior pastor is referring to as "healing from sin" only?

So you are a master of my understanding and applying His words from a few internet posts?
There sum my view up:
Acts 3:19-23, “Repent therefore and turn back, for the blotting out of your sins, in order that times of refreshing might come from the presence of the Master, and that He sends יהושע Messiah, pre-appointed for you, whom heaven needs to receive until the times of restoration of all matters, of which the Mighty One spoke through the mouth of all His set-apart prophets since of old. For Mosheh truly said to the fathers, ‘יהוה your Mighty One shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers. Him you shall hear according to all matters, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every being who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.”
2 John 1:9-11, “Everyone who is transgressing and not staying in the teaching of Messiah does not possess YHWH The one who stays in the teaching of Messiah possesses both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house nor greet him, for he who greets him shares in his wicked works.”
1 John 3:23-24, “And this is His command, that we should believe in the Name of His Son יהושע Messiah and love one another, as He gave us command. And the one guarding His commands stays in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He stays in us, by the Spirit which He gave us.”
John/Yahanan 12:48, “He who rejects Me, and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day.”

You did mention that, after my 1st reply in this line you went right to that, it was not in your original quote, that was about healing, it was not in my reply, then you made it about that, then went right away from it...
The heart change is what I mean
Hebrews 10:16, "“This is the covenant that I shall make with them after those days, says יהוה, giving My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I shall write them.”
You keep telling me what I think every single time.

they dont stay in the teachings OF Messiah... they find reason to reject His words.
