• I found these really good layout of points from another subreddit and the user allowed me to use his bullet points. I thought it’d be helpful for those trying to make sense of the Biblical version of actual miraculous healing. I believe God still heals today! But we are not in Pentecost! It’s not happening for anyone today at will. Otherwise someone with the apostolic gift is neglecting to go into hospitals and nursing homes and heal the sickly there. James 4:17 says Tó know tó do such good and not so it is sin. Please read if you got the time tied to keep it somewhat condensed

Scripture interprets experience, not the other way around

Acts 17:11

2 Peter 1:19

We don’t start with experience and then go looking for verses to support it. We start with what God has said and measure everything else against that.

• The healing miracles of Jesus Christ are immediate, complete, and undeniable

Mark 2:10–12

John 9:1–7

Luke 17:12–14

No gradual recovery, no “lessening,” no ongoing process. When Christ heals, it is finished in that moment.

• These miracles were public and could not be denied

John 11:43–45 — Lazarus

Acts 4:16

They happened in front of crowds, including unbelievers.

• The apostles performed the same kind of sign miracles

Acts 3:6–8

Acts 5:15–16

2 Corinthians 12:12

These were called “signs of a true apostle”

• Miracles served to confirm revelation, not continue indefinitely

Hebrews 2:3–4

Mark 16:20

John 20:30–31

They authenticated the message being revealed

• Miracles cluster around key redemptive moments, not all history

Exodus 4:1–9
