Jasvon, dear sister.

It's heartening to hear a genuine and sincere seeker asking questions.
Should I assume if he is not healed by you laying hands on him that you are not doing all Jesus commanded of you?
One should never assume.
Check all things.

Jesus sends to you those He wants healed,
and you will know which ones they are.
He'll tell you.

That priest was sent to me
and more for my sake than for the priest's sake.

Believed on YOU or believed on Jesus Christ?
He believed on me, that the LORD was with us then,
to let me lay my hands on him.

{He was Catholic, so believed on Jesus' death, and not upon His name, even like you}

My son was born the way he is, too, and is not "sick" but has brain damage.
Then this is for God's glory,
when through a faithful one he is made whole again.

Jesus answered,
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents:
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
John 9:3

I know, we could even have restored Kev's missing leg,
if his faith were not also missing.

And you're quick to find a verse to justify blaming people for their own troubles,
I put verses because I believe them to be the truth,
not for laying blame on others.

But it is our own fault if we do not repent.
Hear Jesus' word.
For this people's heart is waxed gross,
and their ears are dull of hearing,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest at any time they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears,
and should understand with their heart,
and should be converted,
and I should heal them.

Matthew 13:15

I don't believe God brings unjust judgments upon us.

but when I raised the issue of the martyrs you were then quick to do a 180.
Thanks for accusing me.
Can you also explain, because I am unaware of this,
and your correction is missing from your charge.

Paul, there are thousands and thousands of children in the world today being diagnosed with autism. I'm thankful my son is not near as bad as some of these children are and that he is high functioning, but to think my Lord, Who is LOVE, MERCY, and FORGIVENESS has stricken these innocent children because of someone elses sin doesn't compute with me. Granted, they may be suffering because of the sin of greedy men if it is proven it's the mercury in the vaccines the pharmaceutical companies use that cause it, but men have done it, not God.
The people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
There is no knowledge of God (no gnosis) in the land.

Because the people have rejected God's law
(which the LORD gave to us through His servant Moses),
therefore God also rejects our children.
Ungodly children are begotten of the ungodly.

Your error, imho, is to not believe Jesus, image
that the whole world is deceived
`Paul

They have dealt treacherously against the LORD:
for they have begotten strange children:
now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Hosea 5:7
