And, each one is intertwined with each other, but we can function at some capacity with each one ill. There are those who&#8217;s body is ill and continue with their everyday shores and do perform it well, just not at the optimal. Also, there are those who&#8217;s soul is ill and do function well too. God&#8217;s desire is that we be whole, that is not sick (Jer33:6). After the great fall, healing the entire being has been something God been working with man (ps147:3). It is up to us also to measure up to that measure of wholeness in the soul (eph4:13), that our minds be healed and renewed (Ro12:2). But, keeping both the mind and the body at optimal is rather challenging, because we are a war with the devil and our flesh.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"poetry top-05\">\n<div class=\"poetry\">\n<p class=\"\">Mark 2:8-11<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span id=\"en-NIV-24269\" class=\"text Mark-2-8\"><sup class=\"versenum\">8&nbsp;<\/sup>Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them,<span>&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"woj\">\u201cWhy are you thinking these things?<\/span><\/span><span>&nbsp;<\/span><span id=\"en-NIV-24270\" class=\"text Mark-2-9\"><span class=\"woj\"><sup class=\"versenum\">9&nbsp;<\/sup>Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, \u2018Your sins are forgiven,\u2019 or to say, \u2018Get up, take your mat and walk\u2019?<\/span><\/span><span>&nbsp;<\/span><span id=\"en-NIV-24271\" class=\"text Mark-2-10\"><span class=\"woj\"><sup class=\"versenum\">10&nbsp;<\/sup>But I want you to know that the Son of Man<span>&nbsp;<\/span>has authority on earth to forgive sins.\u201d<\/span><span>&nbsp;<\/span>So he said to the man,<\/span><span>&nbsp;<\/span><span id=\"en-NIV-24272\" class=\"text Mark-2-11\"><span class=\"woj\"><sup class=\"versenum\">11&nbsp;<\/sup>\u201cI tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The question that is in all of our minds is, which is easier to heal the soul or the body? And, we find the religious medaling with this thought when Jesus confronts the situation of the paralyzed man who was brought by his four friends. Now, for man getting to that balanced state of complete wholeness is difficult, because of what ales us, sin.. Sin is the umbrella ailment of man. It caused man to be sick both physically and mentally. The bible states that the wages of sin is death(Ro6:23) killing the entire being, but God&#8217;s restoration counter acts the wage; which is his gift Christ. The challenge Jesus faced here was to convince these people that with God it is possible to find complete wholeness with our state of being. Forgiveness is the healing agent against sin. Jesus said that almost all sin is forgivable (Mat12:31), there is just one that cannot; blasphemy. Sure enough, Jesus&#8217; disciples understood that forgiveness is the healing process of wholeness of man. Peter asked Jesus how many times shall I forgive someone who sins against me, and he told him seventy times seven (Mt18:21-22), marking the process for healing. David told God healing me and cleanse me from my sin (ps51:2), leading us to understand that sin is the underlining agent for sickness.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 col-lg-4\">\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"padding-top: 10px;
