Christ ~ “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; John 14:12
If you go back and read all of Christ’s miracles involving healing, you’ll notice that the people reply with a thank you or bless you or some praise.
To which Christ replies “It was your faith that made you” “whole” / “healed” ..
Notice, he doesn’t say your faith in God.
Remember my previous replies?
In fact, many of the people involved in healings associated with Christ didn’t believe in his God nor that he was anything beyond a mystic healer. Hence the term master and not holy or divine.
“Master” as in master of the placebo
If you’d like to know what the real purpose of his death on the cross, I have that as well. Maybe we could do a three way call with Tom Wright and put him in his place lol
Excellent job, you have dissected one of the many things that make the New Age style of spirituality so troublesome. It would be fine if such thinking were harmless and positive as they so often like to sell it, but it becomes another thing entirely when it slips into delusional and narcissistic worship of the self in pursuit of "manifesting endless personal abundance".
I’m back lol
