Did Jesus ever get sick?
ez2u:
Job had reach a place of perfect in where he was. Line upon line precept upon precept. He had every thing a man could want in this world? wealth, land, family, respect, and Godliness. God began to do a deeper work in him and took all that away from him. It was a letting go of the earthly things. It was a death. What was the results of that?
Job 42:2 I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no purpose can be withholden from Thee.
Job 42:3 Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Job 42:4 Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me.
Job 42:5 I had heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee;
Job 42:6 Wherefore I abhor my words, and repent, seeing I am dust and ashes.
and what did Job do after that?
Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
Job 42:15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
he gave his daughter the same equal rights as his sons. Land inheritance. It was unheard of at that time. With land inheritance came authority.
I do not know if Jesus was a sickly man. This is too hard for my understanding at this time. He did bear our infirmaties.
By the power of the HOly Spirit was he able to overcome them? I don't see how he could of carried the whole world sickness and not be dead. There is something more here. The scriptures do say in the heavenly there will be no more sickness. Is that a clue? Peggy
one more thing a few years back i had a girlfriend, she was more like a mother figure to me, we were very close. She started dying of lymphoma cancer. Knots started appearing on her body like tumors. knotts started appearing on my body as well. Never happen to me since. I showed her the knots and she told me to cut it out. That i could not carry her sickness and i had to let her go she was dying. It was a different time. I let her go and the knots left me. This really did happen. I love her very much

Hi All---------
In whom did Job believe his righteousness abided?We read God's response to Job.
Job 40:1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
Job 40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
Job 40:3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job 40:4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Job 40:5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
Job 40:6 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 40:7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Job 40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
Note Jobs words when face to face with the Almighty where before......
Job 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job 27:2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
Job 27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
Job 27:5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
Job 27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
My righteousness?my integrity?---filthy rags all -- Elihu the true fiend points this out in chapter 34
much love-----------knuckle

Hi Darren, you ask what the purpose was for Job's suffering? Personally I think it was in part to show us how its done. How to suffer rightgeously. Just like Jesus taught us how to live and die rightgeously. Also to show us what we can expect when we are faithful to Him no matter what happens. We will have our reward after all is said an done, as long as we are faithful Him. I hope this helps.
Linny, no where does it say in Job that he was afraid of losing his family or his possesions, or wealth or his health. All he said was, that which he feared the most has come upon him. I believe that it was God that he feared the most. I think that if we are living a godly life then there is nothing to fear but God. If you cant see it written plainly, I cant make you see it. I also want you to know this is nothing personal, Im not trying to be right for the sake of being right. I only do this for sake of the Truth as it is written plainly.
Your Friend in Christ, George D.
P.S. This is my last post on this subject, and it has been a huge blessing.

Thanks George D. I can see clearly now. I use to think God let Satan do this to Job in order to show him how good of a servant of the Lord he was. Now I see It was a lesson for us. Never give up or doubt in the Lord.

Was Jesus Ever Sick?
The Bible does not tell us. So why not leave it as it is. Getting a cold doesn't come from sin. It comes from germs.
The Holy Scriptures are becoming clearer and plainer all the time. This is precisely what God prophesied would happen as we approach the End of the Age. That time is just on the horizon.
In the meantime, we should dispense the real Gospel of Jesus Christ to this world. Believe me, there is very little of the basic substance of the Gospel being taught today. What we see in this world is a watered-down version of the Gospel that is given to please and to amuse (in a frivolous sense) the sentiments of humankind. We are provided with wonderful and often spectacular "church services," but there is very little teaching of the fundamentals of the Scripture.
