but if we say that all this is provided in redemption, but only fully realized in heaven, and that this current world is still fallen only to be fully redeemed w/ his return, and that sometimes he does miraculously intervene and sometimes he doesn't, only partially explained by principles in scripture, and partially strill hidden, and requiring trust, we have a model that fits scripture, and reality. the other way fits neither, imo. and leads to a veiw of God that is way more disturbing in my mind... if his salvation goes by the same rules or standard of faith that healing does in that veiw, we are all in serious trouble.
