I've always believed that the enemy doesn't know our thoughts or fears unless we verbalize them. he cannot read our minds. So I think it important who you share your fears with. Make sure it'snot someone who the enemy is able to use to attack your vunerable points. I've studied the book many times and always come away learning something new. For instance when he cried, "If only there was a mediator, ... " paraphrasing of course. Hi Jenny,

Just wanted to mention to whoever it is that I don't think that you've considered all the possibilities. You use one passage, but neglect to mention other passages such as the one where there was a blind man that Jesus healed. After he healed him, someone asked why was this man blind--was it his sin or the sin of his parents? Jesus answered that neither was at fault but that this man was blind for the glory of God. Doesn't seem so clear what that might mean, but apparently there are other reasons for illnesses. Consider the babies that become ill. They aren't old enough to sin. Please look more deeply before you accuse us of wrongdoing. I'm not saying that we don't do wrong things(no one is perfect), but evidently there is much more involved than "we're just a bunch of sinners." I know there are lots of sinners out there with beautiful skin. <!--more--> Take care, Marla -------Original Message------- This is a very un-helpful and potentially destructive message for a healing group like this.
