    matthew 4:23-25
    ”he also healed people of their diseases (afflictions that were no fault of their own) and the bad effects of their bad lives (consequences of willful sin or generational sin).”

    i put my understanding in parentheses…would you agree?

      Jenni, I think that seems right. In the NIV, it refers specifically to Jesus healing those who are demon possessed so it seems like that would be under the second category. Becoming demon possessed is probably a consequence of willful sin. Thanks for your thoughts!
