Nothing.
I tested positive for HIV, and I had a tell tale sign (skin virus) of full blown aids, then durning my two week blood test period I was 'healed.'
This help me establish belief in God, and I offered in return to pray a similar prayer for anyone else who wanted absolute proof of God in their life.
Stimbo, took that offer and spun it in such a way as to vilify me for not wishing physical health over spiritual health.
Something he periodically brings up when ever he wants to make a jab at me or what I say, without actually contributing topically.

And I have a thread that goes in detail, but I was diagnosis with HIV/Aids 20+ years ago and it changed my life, after praying a 'whatever it takes to know you are real prayer.'
My Aids scare was apart of my journey in finding and maintaining my faith in God. I offered to pray the same, what ever it takes prayer for anyone looking for God.
Stimmy took my offer and spun it so he can minimize whatever I say without having to actually address relevant content, just like he did a couple of posts back.
I'm sorry for your illness, and glad that you found solace in prayer. I hope that you had medical help too.
You haven't helped me much in terms of your beliefs though. The bible says many things, like hating homosexuals, accepting slavery, refusing prawns and selling your sister, so you presumably agree with all those things. In which case you can....
The bible represents two distinct religions. OT Judaism, and nt testament Christianity.
If I lived under OT law/Covenant as an OT Jew then would I follow the OT law and what it says.
As I am a NT Christian, I follow those laws and direction. As a NT Christian I accept both as being direction and the word of God.
