Question

Comments

How Can 'Extreme Unction' / 'Anointing of the Sick' be a Sacrament Since These Terms Are Not in the Bible?

Consider:

* The word 'bible' is also not in the Bible, yet you use that term, do you not?

* While the terms 'Extreme Unction' and 'Anointing of the Sick' may not be in the Bible (in so many words), the actual sacrament of Extreme Unction / Anointing of the Sick may be seen clearly in Holy Scripture (e.g. Mk. 6:13, Jms. 5:14-15).

Why Should One Believe in the Sacrament of Extreme Unction / Anointing of the Sick?

Consider:

* One should believe in Extreme Unction / Anointing of the Sick since Scripture specifically instructs...

Jms. 5:14-15: Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters [priests] of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint (him) with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

* Numerous miraculous cures have followed Extreme Unction / Anointing of the Sick

Why Isn't This Sacrament Always Accompanied by a Physical Healing?

Consider:

* This Sacrament may not always produce physical cures for a variety of reasons. For example:

* Lack of faith (e.g. see Mt. 13:58)

* A physical cure at any particular time may not be in the best interests of a sick person's soul

* Persons may be ill disposed (e.g. they may not be sorry for their sins or willing to give them up)
