MY BELIEFS
I believe that His words stand alone. His words are the Truth! They are not subject to arbitrary or random interpretation or rationalization to satisfy one's preference. If there is any doubt or question about the meaning of His words, we must search further for His words in other sections of the Bible that can clarify our doubts. If none is found, then, and only then can we turn to His disciples and prophets for clarification on the intent of His words.
Everyone was crying and feeling sad because the girl was dead. But Jesus said, “Don’t cry. She is not dead. She is only sleeping. And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead." Luke 8:52-53
But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise." Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given [something] to eat. And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened. Luke 8:54-56
Jesus ordered, "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8
I hope by now you will agree with me that you have NO faith in Jesus. If you say you believe in Jesus and that you have faith in Him, can you tell me the reason why you don't believe Him when He said that the dead are not dead, but asleep?
