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 |

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 |
