Objection: Jesus Could Not Have Borne Female-Specific Illnesses in His Own Body on the Cross

Jesus may not have literally borne cancer of the ovaries, but that is nit-picking.  He most certainly bore cancer, and His bearing of cancer redeems you from it wherever it might manifest in your body, including your female-specific parts if you’re a woman.  Cancer is still cancer regardless of where in your body it manifests itself.  If it spreads, it just gets named something else (lung cancer, throat cancer, and so on).  If there is cancer anywhere in your body, Jesus bore that cancer in your place.

This is an objection to the idea that Jesus carried our diseases.  How could He have carried a woman’s diseases?  Well, for that matter, how could He have borne your illnesses when you weren’t even born yet?  You don’t have to understand how He did it; you just have to believe that He did it.  He was made sick in your place, as your Substitute, so that you do not have to be sick today.  You could raise a similar objection that the Trinity is logically impossible, yet it is still real despite any logical objection.

This kind of objection would never be raised by a woman needing healing, anyway.  It’s only a tool for smart-alecks who ask questions like, “If God can do anything, can He make a stone so big that He can’t move it?”  (No, He can’t do anything that negates the fact that He is God Almighty and thus omnipotent.)

You may be thinking, “Okay, but what about monthly female-related problems?  Jesus could not have had that specific issue in His male body!”  But Scripture states that Christ has redeemed us from the “curse of the Law” (Galatians 3:10-14).  The “curse of the Law” includes female-specific illnesses.  (According to Deuteronomy 28:61, all illnesses, which would include female problems, were part of the curse for breaking the Law.)  So Jesus REDEEMED you from ALL female-specific problems because the Bible says that He did!

Scripture is clear that Jesus’ physical suffering was intended to relieve our physical suffering.  If you have a female-specific problem, be assured that Jesus has provided healing for you because He is just as willing for you to be healed as he was willing to heal the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:22-43.  Because His healing (as well as forgiveness) was based on His future atonement, His healing of that woman must have been based on His future atonement as well, proving that His atonement DID cover female-specific illnesses as far as God is concerned!  I rest my case.
