I dont understand why it took 4,000 years for someone finally say, "Deaf can do anything but hear"

Jesus should not cure deaf man but instead Jesus should had proclaim to the world, "This deaf man can do anything but hear!!, He is not retarded!!! He is not deformed!!! blah.." But no Jesus decided to let it slide so that deaf people have to go suffer many years of oppressions. (substitute 'deaf' with other races or homosexuality, you ll get my point.)

We are not supposed to understand God since he doesn't want us to understand him since he prefer to work in mysterious way.

I do believe God and Jesus are perfect.

God made the world. He made the day and night. he made the land, water, trees, and everything. He saw what was good. Then he made Adam and Eve. He put the tree there first before he create Adam and Eve. He didn't made a mistake for making that tree. He works in mysterious ways and put everything out as a test. Like for that tree was like a test to see if anyone will try not touch that tree. The Devil had tempted Eve. Eve made a choice to touch that tree and she have sinned. So God had to go away and that Adam and Eve are on their own. God didn't put the tree there for purposes as his mistakes.

You're jumping to the conclusions.

Let me show you the bible verses.

(Mark 7:31) "Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis."

(Mark 7:32) "There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man."

(Mark 7: 33) "After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue."

(Mark 7:34" He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, "Ephphatha!" (which means, "Be opened!" )."

(Mark: 7:35 "At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly."

(Mark: 7:36) "Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it."

(Mark: 7 :37) "People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well," they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."

It's not because Jesus thinks there is something wrong with deaf people, He helps anyone who seeks for help.

Huh? Jesus didn't want World to know that he cured deafness. It means that Jesus doesn't hold deaf people in high regrad and prefer to hide them from public.

Simple question why didn't Jesus said, "Deaf can do anything except hear?"

You're trying to twisted Jesus's words that's not what He meant. People get so excite when Jesus did miracles on people.

I guess you re avoiding my question.

Ok here's other simple question: Do you think Jesus would approve the processs of cut up kids head in name of Cochlear Implant and Oralism today?

That has absolutely nothing to do with the miracles that Jesus performed.

Reba

That's totally baloney.

Because Jesus' mission on earth was to spread spiritual salvation, not to make social or political statements.

Aren't there enough threads debating Deaf and CI topics in AD without dragging them into this one?

Roadrunner

I concur...pls., stick to which this thread is concerned with, anything else, either go to those threads or create one in the appropriate forum.

I m saying why Deaf (or other minorities) had to endure oppression for man years until finally in 1800's.

I dont expect to understand God bec he doesn't want us to question him but rather to accept his rationale since his favorite motto is "I work in mysterious ways."

Correct, because we are sinners. God? Which God? gods? Idolatry? You pick one of two bibles:

Get the accuracy of the Word of God that God provided?

Or

Get the inaccuracy of the word of gods that the Satan provided?

1 John 4:1 (KJV)

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

The wording of any Bible translations identified with wording of the autographs where God perfectly inspired is perfectly preserved by God Himself. The accuracy of the Bible is the certainty of God’s Word.

John 17:8 (KJV)

For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me

Concerning other gospel or other Jesus, any religions have their “other” bibles. These people believe in them than receiving the certainty of God’s Words and the accuracy of God’s Words, let them be accursed. The WARNING:

Galatians 1:6-9 (KJV)

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursedU].

Pick which one – John 17:8 or Galatians 1:6-9? How foolish are you? If God is imperfect, then YOU won’t be here on the earth, even everyone who will not be here. Why did God create them is because of the Satan. On other hand, if the Satan is not there, God would not create them. Did God make any mistakes upon the beginning of the creation? No, He did not. Wrong. You twisted what the Book of Genesis said. The warning concerning that tree is if they eat it, they will SURELY die. If so, Adam and Eve would be perfect, and then God CANNOT judge the Satan. The Satan did not tell them who he is. The Bible did not say that here. Get it? You bring up your false comment against God. Look at the tree of knowledge of good and Eve. When Adam and Eve were perfect, they NEVER experience the difference between good and evil. After they became sinners, they had new experience with this knowledge of good and evil for the first time. See? Get it? They did not makes any mistakes without the Satan. If God did not put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God cannot judge against the Satan.

Reba

This statement is baloney:

"It means that Jesus doesn't hold deaf people in high regrad and prefer to hide them from public."

All kinds of innocent groups have had to endure oppression over the centuries, not just deaf people. It had nothing to do with the miracles that Jesus performed.

It was Christians in America who went to the most effort to educate deaf children, long before the government stepped in.

Jesus confronted the priests precisely because they failed in their spiritual duties and conduct.

Sunshine1

Thank you very much. Good Post you got here. Whew, yes it's alot of work to make some of us understand the fact that God is perfect! Well done, Askjo!

Very well said. I agree.

We cannot do anything about it, like planting a tree whether if the tree is good or evil. It is the same as just about anything in the world. We cannot run and hid to avoid the danger of any kind. We should be thankful we have a beautiful nature to live on and food and water to live. We cannot know which food is good or evil, or what not to drink. Same as for that tree God had planted. He may have planted thousand different trees whether if it was good or evil. He said what was beautiful on Earth, all was good in his eyes. We can tell to our child not to eat the tree, if a child made a mistake to eat the tree. What can we do? That child made a choice, like Eve did. Every child born is sinned, and we cannot step down and say, Hey, it is God's fault because Eve ate that fruit. Satan do tempt us in so many different ways and we are the ones who must take a stand to make the choices whether to stop the evil or not. Satan is in every corner before your eyes. Always ask God for forgiviness. God is love.

There is no doubt in my mind that "GOD" is not perfect. So I will have to say "no".

PS. Don't take my words too personal on my point of view. Thank you.
