Thread: Is it wrong for a Christian to go to the doctor?

God never instructed His people to go to the doctor but instead wants us to come to Him with this stuff and allow the indwelling Holy Spirit (the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead) to quicken our mortal bodies.

By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might, for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory. Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth.

Only fools despise wisdom.

The scripture where Farm Truck corrects the apostle Paul

What scripture would that be???

Only fools despise wisdom

Only fools trust medical science (arm of the flesh) to keep them well when God Almighty has already put all sickness upon Jesus making it ILLEGAL for it to come upon His people.

Thru these precious promises we become partakers of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4)... His divine nature will keep your body well, unless you choose to trust doctors before Jesus... then it won't.

I suppose you've never availed yourself of any scientific discovery or benefit, you are murmering and complaining about things He has given us, things like the wheel. How about sterilization, would you eschew that as well, eat with dirty utensils? poop out in your yard, no plumbing?

you are actin the fool FT.

ACV, other "natural" remedies are only restoring to us what the devil stole in terms of nutrition.

God does intend for us to be healthy, He also expects us to apply wisdom, modern medicine included. Sterilization is modern medicine, as is tooth paste, clean water, sun screen, etc, etc.

Sterilization was invented in the civil war, when they ran out of dirty wire and thread for sutures, they started using horse hair but it was too stiff. When they boiled the horse hair it became pliable enough to use as a suture, they later found out that those stitched with boiled horse hair didn't die of infection, hence..sterilization became modern medicine.

More people died of infected wounds during the Civil war than the wounds themselves. Thank God for giving us that wisdom (sterilization).

Though your style is brunt and sounds arrogant and offensive, I agree with your point...we should seek out the root causes of ailments and search for natural remedies as well as making the decision to lean on the Lord first and not man..often issues are caused by diet or environment.

Sometimes we do make prayer the last resort rather than the first...we choose the path of least resistance too often...

So often these new drugs prove to be far more dangerous long term than we are told up front, or that the testing reveal early on. They are unnaturally manipulating our body to some end that we would do better to find naturally...I took a hormone for several years when suddenly it was pulled from the market as it causes breast cancer....I believe that was when I stopped trusting the 'helpers' and started trying to be the healthiest me I can be without them...

The point being made by FT is prayer and looking for the cause and a remedy that is found in nature first rather than making them a last resort when the doctors and pharmaceuticals have failed..

I personally believe we Christians don't develop our faith in the little things and then when the big ones show up we don't have any. Those little things we can take care of with a quick pill which works faster sometimes and does not require the work of faith...

I see ads all the time for new drugs..a 10 second ad with a 30 second disclaimer of all the RISKS...and we trust that?

I really can't speculate on what point FT is trying to make. I'm glad you are giving it a shot though!

Utter reliance on miracles when a cure is in front of your face is ignorant, presumptious. I don't agree with most modern medicine but I also don't ascribe to religious extremes. Both can be equally dangerous to your health.

I suppose Farm Truck travels exclusively by translocation when he doesn't walk, there is nothing about bicycles, cars and planes in the Bible. There is about translocation. He should get in line with the Word and change his name to Farm Translocation.

This is all I've done is recognize back when I was much younger than I am now that health can be and will be attacked so I decided I was going to get out in front of this and study God's Word on this subject.

The Lord has shared with me all kinds of neat stuff about this and I've become convinced that it is illegal for sickness / disease to come upon me and at the very first feeling of any sort of discomfort anywhere in my body I can cast it out within a few seconds! Of course there are attacks, but I have something greater to attack back with... the Blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony!

That's how Jesus rolled when it came to His personal health while He was here on earth, and since we know He was tested, tempted, and tried in all points as we are... satan most definitely tried to make Him sick, but failed miserably cause Jesus refused to allow it on His Body.

So here's a thought... instead of beating people up and being all arrogant and blustery to the point of people putting you on ignore, how about sharing your experience and knowledge in a fashion that makes people lean in to listen and just flat out give up the troll act and attitude.
