| True and False, Yes and No Questions without answers |
| 51] True or False: The faith of the one who is ill and the mercy of
God are intrinsic [inherent] to forgiveness of sin. 52] True or False: Rather than healing being the forgiveness of sin, Jesus used His power to heal in order to prove that He also had the power to forgive sin. 53] True or False: The power to forgive sin is proved by the healing. 54] True or False: The ultimate miracle of healing that Jesus performed was the cleansing of the lepers. 55] True or False: Just as Jesus instantly changed sick bodies into healthy bodies, so shall Christ instantly change mortal bodies into immortal bodies. 56] True or False: Healing is to resurrection to eternal life as sickness is to the resurrection to eternal death. Healing pictures resurrection to eternal life. Sickness pictures resurrection to eternal death. 57] True or False: Healing is the clearest physical counterpart of the great spiritual event when human mortality shall be swallowed up by godly immortality and when mankind shall be born into God's Family. 58] True or False: Faith is absolutely essential to the cleansing of our sins and our resurrection to eternal life. 59] True or False: A person's faith in Jesus Christ, is a critical and necessary element-in healing, in the forgiveness of sin, in conversion, and, ultimately, in the resurrection from the dead. 60] True or False: The healing of the physical body, radically and miraculously altering it from a state of sickness to a state of health, symbolizes what God can do through Christ to our minds, hearts and spirits. 61] True or False: The cleansing of our minds is a process that takes place over a period of time in the Salvation Process. 62] True or False: Jesus also healed people out of compassion and love. 63] True or False: Jesus suffered the penalty of our sins through His beating, crucifixion and death that we might be relieved of all our infirmities, whether physical, mental or spiritual. 64] True or False: A lack of understanding of the Healing doctrine has resulted in many Church members remaining weak and ill, with some even having died. 65] True or False: Physical ills do result from spiritual problems. 66] True or False: At Passover, to avoid eating and drinking unworthily, we must 1) Discern the bread and wine as the body and blood of Jesus---discerning the body and 2) have profound appreciation of, and personal identification with, the sufferings and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. 67] True or False: The profound appreciation of, and personal identification with, the sufferings and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, are vital elements of the healing Process. 68] True or False: During Jesus' ministry, He encountered a number of individuals with the Holy Spirit in them. 69] True or False: With all the healings and miracles Jesus performed, He rarely needed to discuss the subject of faith with His disciples. 70] True or False: Thankfully the disciples did not have to perform miracles in order to spread the gospel. 71] True or False: God's plan in the first century was to grow a very large church. 72] True or False: The number of great healings and miracles declined steadily after the first decades of the church. 73] True or False: We should be able to study God's Word and develop real spiritual faith without depending on the external crutch of physical evidence through miracles. 74] True or False: We surely know that God is not pouring out His Spirit to empower His ministers to perform breathtaking miracles as obviously and as supernaturally inspired as those that occurred in the early New Testament Church. 75] True or False: There are biblical hints that we will see astounding miracles and healings as we move closer to the return of Jesus Christ. |
