The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg unpacks the biblical story of the Syrophoenician woman who Jesus healed and fed a multitude of people. Gregg examines the use of the term "healed" and discusses the possibility of the woman being demonized, rather than physically ill. He also delves into the theological implications of suffering and illness, asserting that there is no biblical reason to assume that every sickness is caused by God. Additionally, he explores the possibility that the woman in the story met Mary Magdalene.
