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

    Well, this is easy... Jesus took our heartburn upon Himself so we wouldn't have to have it.... so there's no need to take dope.

    I would get in to how this is done based on what the New Testament teaches, but some would be offended.

    And some folks take it upon themselves to create heartburn!

    I invite you to start a thread. I believe walking in divine health is a gift and I'd like to see some real, solid teaching on how to obtain it.

    I also invite you to not beat anyone up who isn't walking in divine health.

    I went to a Randy Clark conference in the spring on divine healing and as someone who has ministered in signs, wonders and miracles for many years, he had no real explanation as to why some are healed and some are not.

    One explanation for sickness is a perverted world system. Our bodies weren't designed to be consuming Franken-foods, so while our food supply has been altered and robbed of essential nutrients so have our bodies suffered. You can literally starve your body while eating away, a major cause of obesity, etc. You are eating but your body is still screaming for the nutrients it needs.

    And THAT is absolutely the truth!

    Yes, and another is rejecting God's promises in favor of medical science.

    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.

    FT, we all want to walk in divine health and appreciate testimonies and teachings on it. You've made some excellent posts in the doctrine forum and we encourage you to make more there.

    However there is nothing wrong with health tips to fine tune our bodies either, would you have corrected Paul for health tip he gave to Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:23?

    "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities."

    I also take supplements (for nutrition, fuel for the body), eat right, get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water.... but if these things are taken away, I will remain well because my hope, vision, understanding is rooted in God's promises and the indwelling Holy Spirit.

    It's sad to see Christians go to the doctor, jump thru all those medical hoops, and then die anyway.

    The wisdom we follow is justified by the results we get (Luke 7:35), and medical sciense falls way, way short of what the Lord can do.

    But, if some of God's people put medical science before Him... then they will get the results the world gets which is very poor at best when compared to that which the Lord is willing to do.

    Do we ever wonder why God lets Christians die from sickness???

    We might want to get the answer to this from God's Word lest we find ourselves going home to be with the Lord early... which is evil forcing you out of your body, forcing you to leave before you get old and die naturally when the Lord simply removes your spirit from your body because you and Him both are ready to be united in eternity.

    The scripture where Farm Truck corrects the apostle Paul has been included in the RFTV. Revised Farm Truck Version. You should buy it. It will cost you all your food stamps and some other stuff on top of that. But it will be worth it.
