I have yet to meet anyone who has taken or wants to take this injection voluntarily, that is, to prevent serious illness according to official information. In almost every case I know, it has been due to pressure, bribery, or even blackmail. If I may ask what is the reason you are considering taking this injection?

Isa 53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

Open sinners seem to take precedence over proud hypocrites. Jas 2:5-6 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

I agree. If there were noises about miraculous (true) healings, if they only wrote about it in the newspapers, it would be of benefit, but when it is loud only about counterfeiters, the effect is the opposite. If there are no such spectacular results as were, for example, when John and Peter healed a lame man and then he himself made this event known by jumping and praising God, no one believes in physical healings anymore. It would be presumptuous if John and Peter only self-testified of themselves or if they concealed the event from the people merely boasting about what God had done through them, telling it only to other believers. As you say, where there are no signs, there are no results. All that remains is pride, building a hierarchy and prayers for show. Act 5:16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. I think that today there are no miracles or signs that inspire such fear as in the times of the Apostles, because today there are no Apostles on earth. But I believe that a sincere, heartfelt confession has more healing power than asking the other person to pray for your health. Shouldn't we rather pray for one another that we may be persistent in our physical sufferings? You have no reason to argue that someone who questions spectacular healings these days does not pray himself. It is certain, however, that such a person does not put himself in the position of an intermediary to God. After all, we do not pray like the hypocrites, but we believe that "by His stripes we are healed".

I thought you were talking about solid world above it

This is not in Scripture. But if I am wrong please give the verse.

Thank you, but I will not take your advice. The Lord is my shepherd. His Word lasts forever. That's why I have given this second verse as well. So again, you tell some fairy tales.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Please state in which line the writer states it

Exactly! It would make no sense for someone with this gift to manifest healings among professing Christians. Healings would be justified rather as a sign among non-believers, where they are needed. Why not in hospitals then?

Psa 73:22-25 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Faith Hope and Love. All these three, although eternal, seem to be out of this world. We may say they disappear from this world rather than remain.

In that case, your statement that "If someone has the true gift of healing, healing will happen." Is false. With regard to physical healing, it must be conditioned to the will of God and not to the one who claims to have the gift. So the "healer" must feel at the moment that he has this power, consent? Are you saying that it is rather a permanent, everlasting gift? I believe that God can use any of us whenever He wants to heal someone. How do you tell the difference between true healers and false healers? I don't know if there was such a thing as Jewish hospitals in those days, but Jesus had a very special "relationship" to Jews. Jesus healed a lame man by the pond where many sick people lay. Perhaps for others it was enough to believe in healing water.

Because a new birth is a process that begins with fertilization Rev 3:17-19 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Isa 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
