Healing was never promised in the atonement of Christ.

It is a great site and the man who runs it; his writings brought be out of the Pentecostal Movement for good.

Healing was never promised in the atonement of Christ.

And yet a lot of Pentecostal teaching says it is. *By His stripes we are healed*.

And yet I still see an awful lot of people who still have physical issues, have never been healed.

And even if they are, do know how many people still wear glasses? Or go to the dentist? Or wear shoe inserts?

Healing should be for the WHOLE body at that point and yet is seems that the biggest claims to healing are for cancer and back problems.

There's a huge disconnect between theology and reality in Pentecostalism and nobody seems to want to address it much from within.

Thanks for the link. I'll look at that.

Very interesting.

I’ve heard of many of the Pentecostal preachers of days gone by and always heard about what great success rates they had.

This sure tells a different story.

David says, *Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me.*

You can only go through the valley of the shadow of death with physical affliction that takes you to that point.
