I am thankful for your note of kindness on this thread
John; at times a gentle word is sorely needed
and you appear to be our gift from the Lord in
this area... Of course you are right when you say that
that what I believe with regard to divine health and healing will have no impact at all on
the protocol
used to treat Jenna and as her grandmother I will encourage and pray for her. But
please tell me if you
can - what is wrong with believing that Jesus came
to heal and that "the more excellent way is God's
idea
and that He wants us well" - why does this
stir up so much animosity? Grace and Peace, Judyt

I do not view JudyT and her
comments as heretical. I do not agree with her understanding of
scripture on the point in question. Jenna is receiving the kind of
attention she needs. Her grandmother's views have nothing to do with the
little one's prognosis and recovery. To press the matter is to do
what you say you dislike in many of JudyT's responses. JudyT is extremely well read but often a little hard with her rebuttals. She certainly is family (a sister in Christ) and needs the patience of the rest of us ------- especially at such a time as this. More than this, she remains in the TT forum. That should say something about her regard for the rest of us. In fact, I seem to remember a time or two when she has given this forum it's positive due. Be that as it may -- our response to her and each other is not fashioned as a causal circumstance to others but to Christ within us. I can't even count the number of times I have forgotten that rule of new life, but it is in full memory as I write. The full miracle of God in partnership with each of us is seen in the absolute fact that His will is working in us IN SPITE OF even our mistaken opinions about the meaning of scripture. You of all will agree with this last statement.
So, preach on brother Jonathan. Many of us watch, listen, agree and wait for the next exchange.
a brother,
John Smithson
