Matthew 8: 2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."
3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Why are we supposed to believe after this so brief life, He cannot - or - does not want to "make clean"?!

Marie, just saw this topic, and it was something I wrestled with during my own UR researches.  One day I just realized that God is omnipotent, so of course He is able!  I knew He was willing - that part is easy to find out, but the "able" part was so obvious that I could not see it right away.

We are part of the entire created cosmos, which God will restore.
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus
