You cannot tell me that charismatic men like Dr Brown are not smart enough to use deductive reasoning to tell that when scripture says we will do greater works than Jesus, it should be interpreted in a quantitative and extent sense rather than a qualitative and power sense.

WHAT CONTROVERSIES have been engendered by this subject in the past! But what truth of Holy Scripture is there which has not been made the occasion of theological and ecclesiastical battles? The deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His atoning death, His second advent; the believer’s justification, sanctification, security; the church, its organization, officers, discipline; baptism, the Lord’s supper and a score of other precious truths might be mentioned.

I Cor 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Why Doesn’t God Always Heal?
We acknowledge God has all power and can heal, but …
One of my favorite accounts in the life of Jesus occurs in Mark 5. Jairus came to Jesus on behalf of his sick daughter, and Jesus willingly went with the man. On the way, though, they are slowed down when an older woman sought healing simply by touching Jesus’ garments. Bam! She was healed.
