1 | Suicide: a question on sin | 1 Cor 6:19 | Bald Tom | 160728 | ||
I understand that you cannot get to Heaven thru suicide. But if a person contracts cancer (naturally) and refuses treatment in order to leave this evil world, how would God see that? | ||||||
2 | Suicide: a question on sin | 1 Cor 6:19 | hmblservnt | 160729 | ||
1 Cor 6:20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. --- Always a difficult question, but since all illness and sickness is a result of the fall of Adam, and the will of God, to refuse treatment that the Lord has given wisdom to man to create, how can you glorify our Lord by refusing it? All your life is a worship to God, and to refuse a treatment that is available for you to take care of the temple that God has made in which the Holy Spirit dwells would be putting your own interests over God's. Can't God be glorified by the way we handle the cancer? Perhaps some help or benefit can be given our neighbor by our witness thru the illness. Remember, man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever! I believe it would be sin to refuse any treatment. Hope this is helpful! |

I believe that it wouldn't be a sin to refuse medical help if we are praying and relying on God Almighty to heal us. God is soveriegn and Almighty and if it is His will for us to be healed, then He is all powerful and He can heal us. Sometimes, it just isn't His will for us to be healed here on earth. | ||||||

Isn't this sort of like testing God? If it weren’t truly God’s will for us to be healed in a situation, then no medical treatment would heal us otherwise. But if we take the treatment and are healed, then maybe it was God’s will for us to be healed. How would you know for sure if treatment is refused. God’s given man the ability to treat medical conditions, wisdom is a gift, (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) and if we don’t use it to His glory then we forsake the gift He has given us. Matthew 4:7(NASB) Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test. Deuteronomy 6:16(NASB)"You shall not put the LORD your God to the test, as you tested Him at Massah. Exodus 17 (NASB): 2Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water that we may drink " And Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?" 3But the people thirsted there for water; and they grumbled against Moses and said, "Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?" 4So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do to this people? A little more and they will stone me." 5Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pass before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6"Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7He named the place Massah and Meribah because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and because they tested the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD among us, or not?" Just some thoughts. WOS |

no..it's not testing God. Here are some verses that God is THE only HEALER. He doesn't need our help. He made our bodies and He can heal them. :) Matthew 8:7 - And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. Luke 9:11 - And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. Acts 10:38 - How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. James 5:16 - Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 1 Peter 2:24 - Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. These are only a few verses amoung many that support the fact that God through Jesus Christ can and will heal anyone who looks to Him for the victory. I have been healed of physical battles myself and I know that God can and will do it for anyone else with a steadfast and unwavering faith in Him alone. God Bless you all.. Betsy |

Dear Betsy, Luke used his medicinal skills to minister to the needs of people as he went with Paul on their missionary journies. Was that uncessary help? In Him, Doc |

8 | Suicide: a question on sin | 1 Cor 6:19 | DocTrinsograce | 162174 | ||
Dear Betsy, Paul, in Colossians 4:14 calls Luke the "beloved physician." If Luke's services as a physician had ceased to be of value, as you suggest by your posts, would this not sound odd? Futhermore, in Paul's missionary journies there is frequent use of the words to minister (diakonos and hupereteo). Do you suppose that Luke's knowledge was merely superfluous at this point? Extra-canonical works extant at the time of the primitive church adjure the readers to "honor the physician for his services." Are you Christian Science by any chance? In Him, Doc |

Doc, The blesings of God to you this day. Psalms 115:16 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. (NASB) The word precious in this passage can be translated costly. Any time one of us dies it costs God something. When we are no longer here to serve then we are no longer able to serve Gods people and bring the lost to Christ. Thats huge. Healing is of God,Your statement about Luke is right on and carries application for today as well. I will never understand why those who will call themselves christians would handcuff God in this way how ever deeply they feel about this way. When God is ready to call me home he will do so regardless of any efforts by myself or others to the contrary. I think we are all much better off with God doing what he does best and in what ever means he choose to do so. Thanx Doc for the reminder. In Christ, lionheart |
