WHY IS IT, THAT WHENEVER A HUMAN BEING CAN “THINK” FOR OURSELVES AND ARE NOT ALWAYS “PROGRAMMED ROBOTS” OF SOCIETY AND HUMANITY, THAT WE GET LABELED AS “CRAZY”???
“IF” GROWING IN THINKING & TRULY BELIEVING AND BY “FAITH”, I DO SOME WORKS/WERKS, THEN OK, I WILL ACCEPT CRAZY…LOL/SMILE… I OFTEN TELL MY WIFE: “I CANNOT SIMPLY “UNLEARN-WHAT-I-LEARN” OR “UN-KNOW-WHAT-I-KNOW!”
Matthew 21:22…. 22And all things,whatsoeverye shall askinprayer,believing, ye shall receive.
It was Napoleon Hill who said, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.” Hill is most famously known for a book called, Think and Grow Rich.
Matthew 13:14 says: The Purpose of Jesus’ Parables
…13This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’ 14In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. 15For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’…

DNA editing in human embryos reveals role of fertility ‘master gene’
This article is more than 2 years old
In a first for the UK, genome editing has been used to understand embryo development, and could help uncover the causes of recurrent miscarriages
Some Humans, Christians, of many religions, believe in “SELF-HEALING”; YET, THAT BY “NOT ACCEPTING ANY SCIENTIFIC/MEDICAL/BIO-MEDICAL/DNA/Adapted Crispr TECHNOLOGIES; THEY ARE OBEYING GOD!??
Incurable diseases such as diabetes and muscular dystrophy could be treated in future using a new form of genetic engineering designed to boost gene activity, according to scientists.
The technique is an adapted version of the powerful gene editing tool called Crispr. While the original version of Crispr snips DNA in precise locations to delete faulty genes or over-write flaws in the genetic code, the modified form “turns up the volume” on selected genes.
What Does it Mean That Faith Without Works Is Dead?
SSOOO, “IF” WE SIT HERE, AND DO NO WORKS/WERKS AND DO NOT USE THE NEW DISCOVERIES AND TECHNOLOGIES AND STILL “MINUTE’ AND TINY” OR AS “HULK AND THOR” HAVE SAID; “PUNY HUMANS'” PERCEPTIONS PROCESSES, THEN WE WILL BE AS MATHEW SAYS: Matthew 13:14 says: The Purpose of Jesus’ Parables

its “ok” that you, or anyone does “NOT” believe what gets put into my head or the mind of any other “Scientific/FAITH” type “INDIVIDUAL THINKER”…
#1. QUESTION: WHERE DID WE LOOSE THE “TECHNOLOGIES” OF NOAH, WHO BUILT THE ARCH??
#2. WHERE DID WE LOOSE THE TECHNOLOGIES/POWER OF GOD WHERE/WHEN MOSES SEPARATED THE SEAS?
#3. WHERE/WHEN DID WE LOOSE THE GREAT MATHEMATICIANS WHO BUILT THE PYRAMIDS AND PUT “MEGA-TONNAGE” EVENLY CUT STONES AND STATUES UPON EACH OTHER??
WE DO “NOT” STILL UNDERSTAND HOW THOSE “GREAT PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT, BECAUSE WE HUMANS THINK THAT THE “SCIENCE” OF BUILDING THEM AND THE “FAITH” AND “GOD” AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE ALL DIFFERENT…
“GOD, SCIENCE, THE HOLY SPIRIT, TECHNOLOGY, NATURE THE UNIVERSES, GALAXIES, STARS, MUSIC, SOUNDS VIBRATIONS: ARE ALL OF THE SAME “HOLY SPIRIT CREATOR!”
KNOWLEDGE & WISDOM INCREASES AS WE GROW WITHIN OUR CONNECTED SPIRITS AND AS OUR “FAITH” WILL ALLOW US TO BELIEVE. “no”, I DID NOT KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT I KNOW TODAY, 20 YEARS AGO. “YES”, SOMETIMES MY OWN BELIEF & FAITH, GETS SHATTERED BY PEOPLE AND HOW “NASTY/EVIL” WE ARE TO EACH OTHER!
BBUUTTT, EVERY SINCE, I CAN REMEMBER, AND I CAN REMEMBER A COUPLE OF MOMENTS WHEN I WAS IN DIAPERS (WE DID NOT HAVE PAMPERS, BACK THEN)…I HAVE KNOWN “GOD”, WITHIN MY SPIRIT/MY SOUL/MY ESSENCE!
Question: “What is the meaning of ‘Physician, heal thyself’ in Luke 4:23?”
PLEASE DO YOUR OWN “STUDIES” AND PRAY THAT “GOD” CAN GIVE YOU “WISDOM/UNDERSTANDING/DISCERNMENT”
Question: “What is the meaning of ‘Physician, heal thyself’ in Luke 4:23?”
Answer:
Early in His ministry, Jesus was in Nazareth speaking in the synagogue. Nazareth was His hometown, and the people there were familiar with His family and had watched Him grow up (Luke 4:16). When Jesus read a messianic prophecy
from Isaiah and claimed to be the fulfillment of it, the crowd in the
synagogue immediately balked (verses 17–22). It was then that Jesus made
reference to a proverb of the day: “Physician, heal thyself” (verse 23,
KJV).
Jesus’ audience in Nazareth reacted in amazement to His words in the synagogue, and they began to remind themselves of His personal history: “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” (Luke 4:22). They could point to no sin in Jesus’ past, but they definitely brought up the fact that He was a local boy—as if that disqualified Him from being the Messiah. In essence, they were saying, “Jesus is the son of the local carpenter; He’s common, like us. Where does He get the idea that He’s something special? The Messiah will not be a tradesman!”
Jesus’ response to their reluctance to believe was to make Himself the point of a proverb: “And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country” (Luke 4:23, KJV).
In the proverb “Physician, heal thyself,” Jesus is the physician, and the Nazarenes are demanding that He heal Himself. It’s another way of saying, “We won’t believe a word you say until you take care of what ails you”—except, being a proverb, it’s much less wordy. The basic idea is that no one wants to visit a feverish doctor who is hacking up phlegm. The advice of a dermatologist whose face is covered with an itchy, scaly rash carries little weight. “Hey, Jesus,” the crowd is saying, “before you can help us, you have to take care of your own problems!”
“Physician, heal thyself” also carries the idea of needing proof. The attitude to the synagogue-goers in Luke 4 is that a real doctor should be able to prove his credentials by correctly diagnosing and treating whatever ailment he suffers from personally. To apply the point of the proverb more specifically to Jesus’ situation, “It will take more than words to convince us. If you’re truly the Messiah, prove it by working a miracle or doing something else equally messianic.” As Jesus expounds on the proverb, He mentions the miracles He had done in nearby Capernaum—miracles that the Nazarenes had heard about and wanted to see duplicated in their own city.
“Physician, heal thyself” also communicates a demand that the Miracle-worker work some of His miracles at home. The doctor in the proverb should heal himself; that is, he should practice his medicine at home. In the same way, Jesus should display His power at home, in Nazareth, and not just in other places. In this way, the proverb “Physician, heal thyself” is similar to our modern proverb “Charity begins at home.”
The challenge was clear. The people of Jesus’ hometown demanded signs and wonders before they would accept Him as the Messiah. Jesus gave them no miracles. Rather, He used the examples of Elijah and Elisha to show how unbelief in Israel had caused those prophets to work “away from home” with Gentiles (Luke 4:25–27). The Sabbath crowd listening to Jesus grew irate at the comparison, and they attempted to kill Jesus (verses 28–29). So much for a homecoming party.
Jesus should have been given the keys to the city of Nazareth; instead, He was given skepticism, rejection, and a terse proverb: “Physician, heal thyself.” As Jesus told the crowd just before their attempted murder, “No prophet is accepted in his hometown” (Luke 4:24).
TODAY, WE WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS: Ecclesiastes 1:9
Everything is Futile
…8All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing. 9What has been is what will be, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. 10Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.…
