| True and False, Yes and No Questions without answers |
| 1] True or False: People have not always been healed with the same
regularity or for the same reason. 2] True or False: The Old Testament records many healings. 3] True or False: Jesus' miracles of healing helped establish His absolute credibility as one sent from God. Healing also expressed Christ's power on earth. 4] True or False: It is quite evident that God is not healing today in the same manner or to the same degree that He did in early New Testament times. 5] True or False: The use of the word "heal" in the Bible is rather narrow. 6] True or False: God heals inanimate things. 7] True or False: One can be healed of faithlessness or backsliding. 8] True or False: Physicians and human healers are condemned in the Bible. 9] True or False: Healing is limited to God. 10] True or False: "Healing" can include the physical body's normal mechanisms of recuperation and repair as part of its overall definition. 11] True or False: In the New Testament there is a link between healing and spiritual salvation. 12] True or False: If one approaches the scriptural references to healing without the full biblical context, and out of the context of human experience, he may fix upon them a meaning not supported by logic, common sense or proper biblical exegesis. 13] True or False: In Deuteronomy 28 we read that blessings come only with obedience; curses automatically follow transgression. 14] True or False: Elisha's bones brought a man back to life yet Elisha died of a sickness. 15] True or False: Healing is an absolute and unconditional promise of God. 16] True or False: What God will actually do in any given situation remains unknowably beyond our limited understanding. 17] True or False: James 5:14-20 states that God's promise to heal is absolute. 18] True or False: While James in James 5 is primarily speaking of physical healing upon anointing by the elders, he is also alluding to spiritual salvation and the resurrection from the dead. 19] True or False: The Bible condemns ancient practitioners who relied on pagan gods, amulets, incantations or other forms of magic. This fact precludes a firstfruit from using doctors and the medical professions of today. 20] True or False: Rather than relying on medicines, firstfruits should rely on God as his sole source of healing. 21] True or False: Jesus denigrates physicians in the New Testaments. 22] True or False: Medicines used to heal sickness are condemned in the Bible. 23] True or False: The Bible gives basic principles of health which would prevent many of the health problems plaguing modern man. 24] True or False: A regular program of routine physical examinations by a qualified doctor is also important in recognizing and solving any potential problems before they become serious. 25] True or False: Maintaining a positive mental outlook and a peaceful mental attitude is important to good health. |
