"Those healing stories are exaggerated—ancient people didn't understand medicine like we do now."
How it sounds in your head: You read the Bible but secretly wonder if it's embellished. Real doctors with real tests give real diagnoses—that feels more concrete than ancient stories. Maybe those were just natural recoveries misunderstood as miracles.
"Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind."
-- John 9:32Source: Western rationalism and cessationist teaching that elevates human understanding above God's power.
You've been trained to trust science over Scripture, and modern medicine has genuine achievements that seem more tangible. The miraculous feels mythological compared to MRI results and lab work your doctor shows you.
Born blind—never saw a sunrise, his mother's face, colors, anything. No medical explanation, no optic development, considered God's judgment by religious people. Jesus made mud, touched his eyes, sent him to wash—he came back SEEING, with body parts that didn't exist before.
I REFUSE the lie that biblical healings are exaggerated. IT IS WRITTEN: Since the world began it was unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one born blind—even Jesus' enemies admitted this was medically impossible. The God who created body parts that didn't exist hasn't lost His creative power. IT IS WRITTEN: I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and the same Creator who knit me together can restore what's breaking down. I am not limited to medical possibilities—I serve the God of IMPOSSIBILITIES.
The Father who made your body from nothing in your mother's womb isn't intimidated by your doctor's report or your age. He's running toward you with the same creative power that made blind eyes see—not because you understood it correctly, but because He loves showing off for His daughters.
