Originally posted by chaney3It seems to me that the important aspect here is faith. The woman who touched Jesus was healed by faith. The centurian's child was healed by the centurian's faith.
Mark 1:40-45 tells the story of Jesus healing the man with leprosy. What's interesting about this account is in the way the man asked his question. He didn't just ask to be healed, he asked Jesus if He was 'willing' to heal him.
It's clear that God and/or Jesus can heal us....but are they willing to?
Any comments?

Why is everybody missing the point here?
This leper must have had some info that the Bible doesn't tell us. Why didn't he just ask Jesus to help him?
He clearly made sure he asked if Jesus was 'willing' to help him.
I'm pretty sure that you are the one "missing the point". Stop making lame excuses.

Still feeling like supporting this prick in his journey of seeking?
If you refuse to help him, then step aside. There is no reason to hinder him.
Like all of us, he will either find what he seeks, or he will fall. But some require more patience than others.

A fake Christian, like dive, will speak as satan speaks.

Originally posted by divegeesterSeriously, what do you care?

You've already passed judgement on him.
You question my methods yet I've never seen you reach out to anyone in this forum.
One might be excused for thinking you don't rightly care whether he finds God or not.
