Geez, the devil was an angel. His powers would always bear similarity to that of God's because it is from God.

The key here is to figure out whether it is from the devil or from God

>not a single case study in history has ever been able to find any efficacy to faith healing
Faith healing, no. That shit is often just fraud
But if people do get healthy on "chance alone", then the Church would not bother asking doctors.

They ask doctors about it precisely to confirm if there coudl be a natural explanation for it.

You are allowed to be a skeptic. But please bear in mind that we are bigger skeptics than you

It is not a transaction because heaven is not a reward - it is home

Sinning means committing damages
The transaction here is either you pay up for what you did, or go to prison
Jesus paid the bail

But being bailed out is no reason to return back to crime. Your duty is to return back home

There's no transaction here (not for us) We are. merely returning back to our intended jobs that God assigned for us

>Adam and Eve were literally innocent, as in, they had never sinned.
That's just Free Will
Always saved is a heresy that breaks the concept of Free Will. It never existed in Church history until Evangelists
