| Doctrine: Healing - Part 5 of 6 |
| True and False, Yes and No Questions without answers |
| 101] True or False: The fact that one person decides to seek
anointing for the healing of a physical condition while another
suffering from the same condition, does not, can in no way be taken to
mean that the first person is necessarily righteous or that the second
person is necessarily unrighteous. 102] True or False: We all, in some manner, lack faith. This is no more an indictment than to say that we are all human. 103] True or False: To say that a person lacks faith is not necessarily to blame him in any way, since faith comes from God. 104] True or False: Having a lack of faith is a sin. 105] True or False: There is sometimes the misconception that if something did not happen as hoped, it was due to lack of faith. As a blanket assumption, this is very true. 106] True or False: Absolute belief in something contrary to God's intention will not bring it about. 107] True or False: Healing is not an absolute promise according to one's faith. 108] True or False: Paul, who was never healed of the "thorn in his side" once said, "For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong." 109] True or False: Faith was definitely a factor in Paul not being healed. 110] True or False: It is in no way "godly" or "spiritual" for a person to overestimate his own faith. 111] True or False: A person's faith-even one's own faith-is difficult if not impossible to assess. 112] True or False: "Hoping" or "wishing" to be healed is the same thing as having the special faith that God must give to really be healed. 113] True or False: Faith must not be confused with desires, fears or pressures. 114] True or False: To act based on fear, and convince oneself that it is based on faith, is brutal self-deception which can yield no good result either physically or spiritually. 115] True or False: Pride, stubbornness, peer-pressure or having a martyr complex can be confused with faith. 116] True or False: A Christian must walk in continual faith. 117] True or False: One of the biggest factors that blocks a person from receiving more faith is his own erroneous belief that he already has enough faith when he does not. 118] True or False: One reason people are not healed is because they do not have the appropriate faith. 119] True or False: For a person not to acknowledge his lack of faith would be folly indeed. 120] True or False: A Christian who is realistic enough to soberly assess his own faith and find it wanting is a "weak" Christian. 121] True or False: Healing and faith are totally private matters between a person and God. 122] True or False: To anoint for every sniffle or mild ache makes a mockery of divine healing and Christ's suffering. 123] True or False: A minister is to respect the judgment of the sick person who feels that he needs anointing. 124] True or False: It is rather easy for a true Christian to ascertain why a person was healed or not healed. 125] True or False: Death may in some cases be a greater sign of faith than life and healing. |
