We're All Going to Die

“Much more to be condemned is that form of theology that tells believers they ought to be healed, and that if they are not, it is because they lack faith. As far as I have been able to observe, those who propagate such theology die at no slower a rate than those who do not adhere to such theology. The sad fact is that this triumphalist theology is not only theologically ungrounded, it is pastorally cruel. Thoughtful Christians must come to grips, not only with the truth that God can and sometimes does heal, but also with the truth that this side of Jesus’ return “people are destined to die (Heb. 9:27).”
