Bible Question: last night I went to a wednesday church meeting, (somethiong I dont usually do) I asked why I keep getting Cancer (my 3rd time) The answer i got was the Lord does not give us bad things he Loves Us and only wants good for us. I was told it came from the devil... I am confused with this answer because I always thought the devil can not create, he can trick us and imitate, If the devil gave me the cancer, wouldn't that be him "creating" the illness in me? The only way i can comprehend getting cancer from the devil would be that the devil lured me into a situation where I exposed myself to cancer? Also, Thank you for remembering me in your Prayers. I am not afraid of the cancer and I dont feel sorry for myself or anything like that. The reason Im even asked the question at the wednesday meeting is because the subject of cancer came up and this is the third time i have cancer. I wonder why it keeps coming back in different places (breast, lung, lymph) If the Lord wants me to come home and is using cancer to get me there I wonder why I keep getting free of the cancer. |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, mamayama1, Sickness or bad things do not come from the devil, unless God gives permission. Read Job 1-2. Epaphroditus (Phi 2:25-27), Timothy (1Ti 5:23), Trophimus (2Ti 4:20), and Paul (2Co 4:11, 16; Gal 4:12-15) were sick. Tabitha even died (Act 9:36-41). James 5:14-15 talks about calling for the elders and says IF one committed sins, they will be forgiven him. I think there are other cases in the Bible that show the godly can get sick and have bad things happen to them. Study Paul. With prayers, Searcher |
