1 | Healing by Strips physical or not | 1 Pet 2:24 | lmf | 82414 | ||
I have not had a child die. I do have a son who was born with an infection that had a 50percent mortality rate in the first 12 hours of life. A clubbed foot for which he's had almost 3 years of therepy and surgery. And then was diagnosed with cancer for which he had 31/2 years of chemotherepy. We live in a world contaminated by sin and the polution caused by it. People young and old die because of diseases that man cant cure. But you wont convince me that God causes sickness. I have prayed for healing for people who have been healed and many more who have not. But I know that scripture says in Exodus 15:26 I am the God who heals you. Also, that in all things we are to give Him praise-but I dont believe it was His will manafested on earth for your son to die. Or that we were so special that our son didnt. Today you cant even watch tv without being told of the latest fad disease and that is a sin against God in my opinion. Moses was 120 when he died yet his eyes were not dim or his forces diminished so why sould we expect less. We have accepted diseases as part of life but should we not also that God says He knows the plans He has for us and they are good. Is it good to die young or older and crippled and deformed absent of our sences and suffering? | ||||||

Greetings Imf! I praise God with you that your son doing well my friend! :-) You said that you would not be convinced that God causes sickness. For the most part, I don't believe He does. I believe most sickness is a natural result of sin. However, there are Scriptures which indicate that in some instances God did cause sickness. Allow me to mention a few. 1) Miriam was struck with leprosy in Num. 12 as a result of her sin. Who caused her to instantly be struck with leprosy? Why didn't God heal her instantly? 2) 1 Samuel 25:38 says that God struck Nabal so that he died. 3) How about the plagues of Egypt? In Ex. 12:29, God struck down all of the firstborn. In Ex. 9:8-12, God stuck all of the Egyptians with boils. 4) In Exodus 32:35, God sturck all of the people with a plague because of the golden calf. 5) In 2 Sam. 12:15, God struck David's son and he become ill and died. 6) In 2 Sam. 24:15, God sent a plague on the people of Israel for three days and 70,000 people died. I could go on, but this surely is enough evidence to convince anyone from Scripture that God does indeed cause sickness on some occassions. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | What about Job? | 1 Pet 2:24 | lmf | 82459 | ||
What about Job when satan says to God he only cares about you because you bless him take that away and he will curse you. God said to satan look he is in your hand only spare his life. If God puts sickness on people why didnt he strike Job to prove saatan wrong. | ||||||
4 | What about Job? | 1 Pet 2:24 | Morant61 | 82462 | ||
Greetings Imf! My friend, you are asking questions that are hypothetical in nature. Why did God do this or not do than? Unless Scripture specifically says, we don't know. However, I listed several Scriptures for you which specifically say that God brought sickness upon certain people for certain reasons. Now, are we to believe what Scripture says or not? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
