Hi Jorja, Your opinion regarding Doctors is interesting and I have no problem there. However, your unqualified statement that "As faith grows you will need medical assistance less and less until one day not at all" seems to be lacking scriptural foundation? Can you provide any? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

When I first read your request I took out my notes on health and healing and came up with over 50 scriptures that I believe would prove that God is the only healer we need. In His word from Ex 15:26 to Rev healing is available to all. Since that day I have come to the realization that you most likely would not look up 50 plus scriptures and if I typed them out my fingers would hurt so I chose a couple that I believe support my point. Prov 4 20-22 incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them and health to all their flesh. Ex 23 25-26 I will take sickness away from thee Ps 103 2-3 Bless the Lord O my soul and forget not all His benefits Who forgives all thine iniquities who heals all thine diseases Deut 28 where every disease is called a curse and Is53 5-6 1Pet 2 24 where it says Jesus became the curse for us. Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. It is my belief that not getting sick and not needing medical help is preferential to sickness and disease. Jesus was never sick so our hope should be to follow His example and not be sick. I also live in the same world you do and that is why I know faith in Gods ability and desire to heal the sick is extremely important. When you have a headache you may reach for tylenol and one of the possible side effects is coma. When you have cancer the doctor may prescribe prednisone and one of the side effects is vomiting blood or he may give you cytoxin a chemical used in adgent orange. It is well know that depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain but one of the side efffects of prozac is suicide. So you may not see the same thing in the scriptures that I do but I have no doubt that Gods Word is a far better medicine than doctors supply the survival rate is greater and the side effects are easier to handle. If medical help is required it is my opinion you better pray because the alternatives can be scary. |

Be very carefull in your studies on this matter. One can only decern that we must never tempt the Lord, especially when it comes to our health. Sometimes we must look at the history of things in order to better interpret scriptural meanings and I believe in this instance that is the case. In 2 Corinthians 12:7 Paul makes a statement to those at the church in Corinth that he had an ailment. If we look at the greek in this passage (dealing with weakness) we can only surmise that the demon in which he mentions is a phisical ailment a thorn in his flesh.Think of the faith this man had and yet still suffered from illness. He traveled with a doctor. It is also history that Timothy was a physician at least as close as one could be to one in that era. I feel it would be greatly foolish for one to slice open his arm and then pray to God to heal it with out putting a bandage on it, if you are wiiling to test Gods will to that extream then you should be very aware of how strong your faith realy is. I believe that some medicine is bad and that some is good and I also believe that not all sickness is a curse though some is. There were many that Christ healed and many he didnt, and it is not up to us to know his will. God will do all things for us if we ask of Him, but we are still required to make the choice or take the first step.But please dont confuse absolute faith with going to a doctor, because none of us are worthy and we will all fail Him and deny Him at some point, so if we rely on faith alone with out knowledge of the body then we will eventually get sick and die. The Lord told us to seek Him in science (so to speak) and I think that although medicine has vered from that endevor on most fronts it is still a means of learning more about Him and His creation on all fronts. | ||||||
