Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:1-5
This is the gospel- God has justified us, not by our own works, but through Christ. God tells us to rejoice in 2 things:
1. Rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
2. Rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character and character produces hope.
That is what the truth of godly character. Learning to rejoice anyway! Rejoice because of who God is and what he has done for us. In spite of pain, suffering, and trials and tribulations.
God gave me Romans 5:3-5, after I started coming out of that terrible, years long depression that this false gospel of healing put me in. God starting healing my heart from the condemnation and hurt of being told I was walking in the flesh, sinning or not believing! And God continued to lead me on that journey, every day! Even now, my hope is that:
"but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.' Romans 5:8 And:
"More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation." Romans 5:11
Let go of these lies. Read the Bible for yourself. You have been pulled into a terrible lie. This is NOT about opinion, or different viewpoints on healing. This is about the most fundamental and basic issue there is.
What is the gospel?
"It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,25 who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." Romans 4:24b-25
"Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me" 1 Cor. 15:1-8
Never a word about perfect healing, nor walking in some kind of imaginary state where one must believe in healing to be walking in the Spirit.
I challenge you to find me a concise statement, in the Bible, which says, like 1 Cor. 15 does, "this is the gospel... it is all about perfect healing in this life." It simply is not there. Yes, God heals as he wills it, but it is NOT the gospel. And you are believing a false gospel.
Finally, I will just post a little more from 1 Cor. 15, which proves how wrong you are in your gospel.
"For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all." 1 Cor. 15:22:28
Things will not be perfect, made right, evil destroyed "when the end comes!" You are trying to make what Christ is going to do, in the future, into now. This is bad theology, bad eschatology and really, just a mixed up soteriology. You are wrongly usurping the role of God, by trying to be something you are not - something that we eagerly await, for when Christ returns!
And you are trying to spread this false gospel in every thread you post, to the hurt and damage of many. That is why I will continue to oppose you in every thread. This is a heresy, it twists the words of God, it puts everything on you, and misses the actual gospel!
The gospel is that Christ died for our sins! Anything else is a false or another gospel. It doesn't get more basic than that!
And please do not answer with another pamphlet (copy and paste). I would be delighted to see you write in your own words answering my objections to your false gospel. If you post Ellis, Prince, Womack.... I will not even deign to look at those people.
Think for yourself! That is walking in the Spirit. Allow the Holy Spirit to help you walk, instead of relying on these false prophets, with their false, over realized eschatology!
