Isaiah 53:5 interpretation — "by his stripes we are healed" in context

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 4) 00:00:04 – 00:02:36

Question from Cindy Johanneson about Word of Faith use of Isaiah 53:5 to support divine health and the claim believers should never be sick.

Isaiah 53:5 is part of a sweeping messianic prophecy (Isa 52-53) about Jesus on the cross. At surface level it might seem like spiritual healing only, but Mike notes that in the Hebrew mindset physical and spiritual healing/forgiveness were not diametrically opposed — they were held together. He cautions that cessationist-leaning Christians sometimes dismiss passages the Word of Faith movement rightly emphasizes.

Was John the Baptist predestined to be saved?

In the teaching of Calvinism, there is an election to salvation for some men while the rest of mankind are created without a hope of eternal life. In this understanding God has pre-determined from eternity past that all but the elect would remain in their sin and be lost forever.

Was God’s Wrath Satisfied in Christ or Paid in Hell?

Was God’s wrath satisfied in Christ? If so then how can sinners suffer God’s wrath in hell? This question is one that is often asked by Calvinists to those who do not hold to the teaching of Calvinism.
