Might I ask the opinions of you learned people here? I am not a Greek scholar and it is obvious to me that you all are much more mature, learned, and knowledgeable than I. Any input would be appreciated.
The passage is James 5:13-15.
13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Please pardon me if this subject has been discussed elsewhere here. I have not had time to go through all the previous threads. My questions are:
1)How does this passage relate to us practically, as believers today?
2)Is the anointing here to be done physically by elders today?
3)Does this speak of physical healing?
4)What is the "prayer of faith"?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
