Abhishekagni Latest Edition - Comments

Well done Fr.Vattayi and the team.
 

I have read Abhishekagni with opening message from Bishop Jacob Manathodathu. The letter from the Bishop is encouraging.

In page No.5 about - Vachanashakthiyal rogashanthi, you have quoted Exodus verse 26 and said 'Njan ninne sukhappeduthunna Karthavaanu"

Let me quote the same verse Exodus verse 26 from few bibles.

Douay Rheims

15:26. Saying: If thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and do what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all his precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon thee: for I am the Lord thy healer.

^{Hebrew Names Version}

15:26 and he said, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”

^{Catholic Public Domain}

{15:26} saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”

---

All the above transalation versions shows clearly that the verse is not as you have been projecting, but, conditional.
Condition No.1 If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God,
Condition No.2 and do what is right in his sight,
Condition No.3 and obey his commands,
Condition No.4 and keep all his precepts,
Then, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.

I do not know about the 25,000 people who came to Carmel Mount, but i know about myself that i do not satisfy Conditions 1 to 4

With out satisfying these conditions, how do i expect Lord to heal me? Or does it mean that you need to only believe, but not obey; the Lord is mercifull that He will heal me come what may!

How should i take this?
