Goz's Quote of the Week. 4/09/2019

Connected to this is the question of why Jesus merely cured individuals or small groups, rather than mankind as a whole, of certain conditions. For instance why instead of curing a leper or two did Christ not rid the earth entirely of this natural evil in one sweep? In his case it was neither impossible (since there is no limit to God's goodness and power) and not irrational (in fact quite the opposite: it is more efficient and less unfair to extend the cure to all, rather than the lucky few). The last time this came up, the only reason I was offered by devoutly-challenged was that such a wider curing 'needed to be asked for' - which seems weak, especially no ordinary folk are expected to do good when able only when pushed into it.
