There is no need for you to be unkind. My credibility and respect is given by God, not man. Jesus was not credible to or respected by many, and they killed Him. This isn't about me, and I resent you making it so.
I do no twisting of scripture. God certainly could have healed you to birth faith in you. It is also possible that someone was praying for you, without your knowledge?
The Tzitsit is also called "wings". The woman, a Jew, would have known the scripture, "But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture." (Malachi 4:2)
Here we go again, ...I'm not being unkind, why do you always take it personal and play the poor me card, Heb 10:25 tells us as we see the day approaching we are to exhort one another, but it seems you can't handle that, you say your respectability and credibility comes from God, the Word teaches us we are to so live our lives that those around us, unsaved or saved would call us Christ like (Christians), that we are to be unreproachable, no one finding fault with us, the light, but you twist Scripture to fit what you want it to say, ...sorry my Bible says teachers are to be judges more severely, accountable to the Church, but you deny this in saying you are
only accountable to God.
Yes you are tunnel visioned, you can't see the Truth as it is written, Jesus said
her faith, and faith without works is dead, ...set the scene, there were so many people pressing around Him, and she comes to Him and
bends down in the crowd to touch the hem of His robe, which was an acknowledgement of Jewish tradition that He had authority and was the Messiah, which was the
action of her faith, that's why Jesus said you are saved, ...are you suggestion He didn't know the
significance of what she was doing, are you implying He was befuddled and used the wrong word and said saved instead of healed, ...can't you see how ridiculous that is, I'm trying to help you, the Love of Christ compels me, I want you to receive a full portion of rewards at the Bema Seat, but twisting Scripture, taking Scripture out of context to support your beliefs and ignoring the significance of the verse is exactly the reason why people will have their works burned up by fire.
Brothers, I believe the just shall live by faith, I'm where I am today because I have walked in faith all these years, but this false teaching that if we have enough faith we can command God is blasphemy!
Yes Jesus healed many people I'm not saying otherwise, but, Jesus didn't heal everyone, the man sitting at the Gate Beautiful, he had been sitting there for before Jesus was born, how many times did Jesus pass by him in His lifetime and then during His ministry, my point is God is sovereign and when we take that sovereignty upon ourselves, like the Word of Faith movement teaches, it's blasphemy and unfortunately many are delude and falling into this deception that Jesus warned would be prevalent in the end times.
