It's been such a long time seeing you, Bro.

God allow sickness to teach us something?

Deuteronomy 28:22 (NIV) - The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish.

I want to destroy this erronous idea purported by some people saying it is God's will to allow terminal illness like Cancer to happen on some people to teach them something.
If you study the Bible, there's no such doctrine, it is an assumption made up by Man. My Bible tells me otherwise. In Deuteronomy 28:22, tells me sickness, diseases are meant to destroy (to perish) not teach something.

But why is it, there are many genuine Christians who cannot receive healing? They are people who are sincere in their Faith, they live righteously and conduct their daily life and even business with honesty and integrity. Do you want to know what is God's diagnosis as to why?

The answer is found in

Galatians 5:4 (KJV) - Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

When you put in your conduct (obedience, performance) before God, Christ becomes of no effect! It's a terrible situation to be in when Jesus Christ becomes of no effect to our Life! When you are terrible predicament, you need Christ to be of effect! Notice that the phrase "ye have fallen from grace" The word "fallen from" means that Grace is the Higher position while Law is the lower position.

If we do not learn to uphold Grace above all else, and try to incorporate obedience to the Laws of God as the same equal (platform) for justification before God, we nullify Christ Jesus. This is one of the reason why some Christians cannot receive answers to their prayers from God.

Dear Friends, I pray you will understand this revelation.

God Bless.

I hv a question here.

I hv been a Christian and been attending church regularly for a long time with my mom.....now with my wife n kids.

I have picked up running lately and the events are mostly held on Sundays. As a result of that, I would skip church service (almost twice a month).

Am I considered not 'not faithful'?

I think no one should judge you whether you're faithful or not, this is a matter of conviction between you and God.

For me personally, I wouldn't arrange or take up any activity on a day meant for Christians to gather and worship God. I rather set it aside as Holy unto God and honor Him by coming together with other fellow believers.

For me, Man can exercise and eat healthy all he wants but good health and long life only comes from God and I believe only God can give us that.

May I know what is Psalm in the Bible?

It doesn't seem to be story telling like other chapters but some quotes from I do not who.

Psalms in the Hebrew means praises or hymns, in the Greek it is called Psalms.

Many of it was written by King David. Among the other authors are Asaph, the sons of Korah, Herman, Ethan, Moses and Solomon.

It is not written letters like the New Testament...they are songs of praise and some song of lamentation, complains of disappointment and anguish. I find that is good because many of us can relate to God in that way.

You can basically sing Psalms to God. It's quite powerful.

Thank you for your explanation.

I thought it was something like advice because at Psalm 1, it seems like advising people not to do evil deeds.

And how do you pronounce Psalm?

Is it similar to the way we pronounce 'some'?

Well not only Psalm but many books of the Bible are the principle of God's kingdom which if we take heed, is for our wellbeing.

Thanks for the reply.

I was also thinking along the line of wht you hv said...guess I just have to manage my time more effectively.

The P in Psalms is silent, so just say "salms"

Happy to see fellowship very much alive.

Just posting to express my gratitude to everyone who cares to answer my questions
