1 | why go to a doctor for healing | Bible general Archive 2 | AdamantLobster32 | 151208 | ||
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. | ||||||
