looks like the gaza - geddon is coming to an end thank god
so that gaza doctor is definitely saved by god although i think he's a muslim
is that what you are saying?
very important if you are, tho of course that's the lord's decision not ours!
bbc took him to his family's original home near siderot and interviewed him and the local israelis
very good interview indeed
kvetch,
I am sorry I have not responded to your post about healing yet, and I will, its hard for me to keep up with everything on this thread.
Of course, who saves is up to God, I really like what the Apostle Paul says about how we see through a glass darkly.
We can think we see God, become convinced, we see God working in the lives of others and be encouraged by that, find Blessings in that, in their stories. They and their stories Bless us. This is something I am always finding myself amazed by, about God. The places where there is pain and suffering are our greatest opportunities, or should I say in them lies the potential for our greatest opportunities to draw closer to God and the greatest opportunities to glorify God with our lives. Those who suffer inspire others in their faith, they show others there is meaningfulness in life, in just a struggle to live and stay human in ordinary lives all of us live. All of our lives matter, our lives matter to God, and we can turn to Him, suffering shows us our need for God. I can remember a time in my life, walking on the beach, feeling so close to God, and there was this cliff overlooking the ocean, up above where I walked, that was in Redondo Beach, California, I would walk early in the morning before doctor's appointments for several hours and I would walk up to this high point looking down on the ocean. And I would so often think, I would know, about how with God nothing was impossible, and if my faith was strong enough I could push that very cliff I was standing on into the sea. Those were Jesus words, and I believed them and I still do. And I look back now and see how God saw me through a personal struggle in my life and how my relationship with God grew stronger, and those moments are so precious to me, my memories of those walks on the beach with God. There was not a moment when I was alone there and I savored every moment of it and stored it up in my mind to remember always. In The Garden, that is the song I remember singing all the time, as I walked , "I walk through the garden alone, when the dew is till on the roses and And the voice I hear, calling in my ear, the Son of God is calling me, And he walks with me, and He talks with me And he tells me I am His own and the joy I feel as I tarry here, no person has ever know..." You know, all this talk about Healing, I never saw my very own story as about Healing, until today, as I am writing this post. And my babies were my Miracle from God, and my dream, my dream was only about one of them, but God answered my Prayers after close to 10 years of prayer and made my dream come true before me, and showed me He gives us dreams to dream that tell us of what is to come and God answers our dreams and our Prayers as He chooses to do and in His timing.
In my Bible Study on John, a Community Bible Study, Interdenominational Christian Bible Study, we were talking about Nicodemus, the comment kept being repeated about how he was a seeker, a seeker, a seeker of God. God tells us seek Him and we will find Him. Nicodemus was a Pharisee, and he kept hanging around Jesus, but then he went back to his fellow Pharisees. He first approached Jesus, at night. And I do not think the Bible really ever tells us what Nicodemus felt about Jesus in the end, who he saw him as. But we do know he was one of the ones who buried Jesus. He saw him crucified. We don't know if some of those healed by Jesus, whether they believed in Jesus, what they thought about Jesus, either. What we know is that Jesus was drawn to those hurting, in Palestine, and he healed, both physically and spiritually. The man at the spring, who was paralyzed, Jesus asks him, in their first encounter, do you want to be healed? And he then healed him physically. So, I would say our desire to be healed does matter. Choices we make do matter. There was a later encounter with the physically healed man, at the Temple, we are told. Why was the man at the Temple? We don't know. Was he spiritually healed? We don't know. And there is another definition for Salvation illustrated by these stories, spiritual healing.
I cannot say who is saved and who is not. But I can Hope one day we will see all of those people we looked at from a distance and saw as fellow Seekers of God, that they sought and found God, that they found Salvation, and that we see them in Heaven again some day.
