for some considerable time and I'm still not sure I did the right thing
by accepting the post.
Perhaps others would care to express an opinion?

July 25 is the Feast of Saint James, which happens to be the
name day of my ill brother James, and I hope to heal him
beginning on that day. However, unlike Jesus, I have no
healer special ability, and the only way I can heal James
is by my complicated omnibus prayer negotiated over the
last 29 years with the chair/moderator, my Deity, which
includes sudden evolution, which will include transformation
and healing of existing adults (at least minor criminal and
better, and medium criminal and worse who are following
their best course of action to pay for their sins).
That said, I did find the post a bit 'Off The Planet'.
But we can all
join in praying for David's brother James, in any case.
I would also point out that if healing occurs through prayer, the
healing is not the work of the pray-er, and all glory must go to God, thanking Him alone.
Whlst you or I may disagree with David's beliefs (probably for different reasons) he has a right to his viewpoint, although I do understand your reticence in allowing the post. He is also respectful of ChristianityOf course he has a right to his viewpoint. The question is whether he
even if his beliefs aren't the same.

I'm not in favour of censoring people out, unless they are totally
off-topic, or in some way the post is abusive or unacceptable.

Why not? It's within the charter as St James was one of the Apostles.
I believe that some people have healer special ability,
and it is applied by willing, not by prayer, though it
can be accompanied by prayer. However of course
the healer special ability is divinely granted.
I think he was objecting to my hope of sudden evolution (ongoing Creation).

The Bible is clear that the gift of healing is given by God and is
exercised by the prayer of faith.
If you think otherwise - and if there is genuine healing involved - then
we are looking at a supernatural power other than God. And there's only
one alternative.

I believe that Jesus had healer special ability granted to him
by his God, and that it was further transmitted to the apostles
and possibly some others at Pentecost. Again, it has to be
applied by willing. Simple prayer will produce no better
effect than just living with the person who has healer special
ability.
God grants the ability, and other benign ones
such as peacemaker, and expects that the holder of the
abilities will apply them by willing.
And I do not believe
any fallen angel Satan exists, and believe there are many
more non-human someones than just God.
Also, what do you mean by supernatural?

Sorry, but this whole paragraph immediately put me in mind of a ship floating about all over the place with a busted rudder.
I have negotiated with God by perineum click

That, of course, is not what the Bible says.

If you mean that someone has to choose to heal rather than, say, eat a
cheese sandwich, I suppose you are correct.

He didnrCOt say rCLI prayrCY, he said rCLI willrCY,
which supports my
claim that healer special ability is applied by willing,
not by prayer, though the ability is divinely granted.
But of course those without healer special ability
have to rely on prayer.

Jesus was asked, "If you will ..." to which He gave the grammatically
correct reply, "I will". You are reading far too much into a simple
question and answer exchange.

As the unique Son of God, Jesus had no need to pray in order to heal.
There is no "healer special ability" as you claim.
Then what about the apostles who gained healer special
ability at Pentecost?
And I donrCOt agree that Jesus was the unique son of God,
Also Jesus did pray to his Father at times, didnrCOt he?
