Opportunity lost - Opportunity taken (Men Healed)

Could Jesus really give to different men exactly opposite directions to follow?

Do you see here that men grateful to Jesus had opportunity to do exactly as Jesus said...

Love

But God proves his love for us....

Religion? (Edited)[updated]

🔕 ↓↓↓ 👎 🕀
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has released the analysed data from the 2016 census. The results portray a decline in the "religion" category. The ABC has produced a neat graphical representation of some overall data. (More on the data story below). "Religion" is a Bible word (rare), a word with limited and specific use in the text, nowhere near as prominent in the Bible as it is in Australian culture or publications.

Faith (v2)

Jesus encountered responses to himself which he judged as "faith".

When Jesus returned to Capernaum, a Roman officer^[b] came and pleaded with him, “Lord, my young servant^[c] lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.”
Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.”
