how many children have died because their parents took them to a faith healer instead of a doctor?

Question

when the child was ill and antibiotics would have saved that childs life

Answer 1

Thats just crazy. God made Doctors, geesh.

Answer 2

Who knows, but those faith healers are fakes. Friends who are Baptist disagree with them very strongly, saying they are exploiting the Bible to get people's money. Benny Hinn? Please. I know a woman who attended a service and she was told that the arthritis in her knee was healed. She was dancing around the front of the room, and then two days later, she was at the doctor's because she had severely aggravated the condition and could barely walk -- because she was told to jump up and down and give God the praise for healing her. So much for miraculous healings. Oh yeah, and she also left a good cash donation at the service, too! $$$$$$

Answer 3

Hi James. Still love the icon. I'll say I'm sorry up front because you've questioned something that is my specialty. Nutrition. So I've launched a bit of a rant.



How many children die at the handsd of faith healers?

Far far FAR less than the number of children who have died because their parents believe the lies of doctors. Hundrends upon thousands of children die each day at the hands of doctors and it's OK. (please do not think I'm talking about abortion. WHOLE other issue.)

Generally speaking, Christians will do both. Take their children to a doctor and take their children to a Christian healing service.

Which is quite different that a "faith healer."

But you've got to open your eyes that Western medicine, the FDA and the USDA does not have your health in mind at all.

Not one bit.

They approve of high fructose corn syrup in your food. One of the most toxic substances ever made by man. It's addictive and creates "product loyalty" so it's approved for everything!

Healing cancer is illegal in the US. Only Chemo Therapy is approved. But some 80% of all cancer victims are killed by the chemo - not healed by it. Very few people survive. You know those folks who are diagnosed with cancer and die 3 weeks later? Their first chemo treatment killed them. I've seen it! I know it to be true. Then the doctors and morticians refuse to put chemo as the cause of death. They put cancer. My best friend is STILL trying to get her husband's death certificate changed.

ABC Primetime profiled a faith healer named John of God. They did a segment on a guy from San Francisco with a rare cancer and how he had lived longer than any other person with this cancer. They attributed it to John of God but in point of fact it's because this guy did not go for Chemo!!!

Children are dying left and right of obesity, heart disease and diabetes. And that's ok. But vegetarians have their children yanked away from them because some relatives feel they are "too thin."

open your eyes.

I could carry on all day about this one.

Answer 4

Sometimes people are just fanatics.. They don't understand religion in the real sense. This is very stupid and outraging. Faith healers are hypocrits and impostors.If there is anythink that can heal you is because God gave you that thing, and that could be a doctor also.

Answer 5

ARE YOU SURE if medicine is taken that child's life would have been saved ?

Then why is that people die in hospitals even after the very best care is given ?

Answer 6

Exactly, I just learned about some family in Oregon I think, who never took their children to hospitals because they believed that God would heal any sickness...the government finally noticed and stepped in after their 4th child died that way.

There is no excuse for that, and any religion that puts kids in danger should be outlawed.

Answer 7

I don't know how many but that would be foolish. God heals by doctors also. People need to have common sence. Don't make the mistake of blaming God for the foolish things people do. The bible doesn't teach to withhold help from those who are sick. Thats wacky thinking.

Answer 8

I suppose you mean Divine Healing.
I believe IF YOU HAVE FAITH GOD WILL HEAL YOU.
* Because our sicknesses and infirmities were borne by Jesus on the cross (matt.8 : 17 ; 1Peter 2:24 ).
* Because Jesus gave to His disciples, the power to heal ( Mk. 3 :15).
* Because Divine Healing is children's bread (Matt. 15 :26 ).

.

Answer 9

Look how many people have been healed by Christ while he was on earth and the thousands healed afterward by faith in his name even before we had drugs and meds...
think about it and quit being a foolish child who is trying to mock the word of God.

Answer 10

crow James, I am a Christian that belives in devine healing, but many Christians gets devine healing mix up with healing, Please let me explain, after 36 yrs. serving God, I have seen demons cast out of people, I have demons threaten me through a woman one time that was trying to put a curse on me, It had a man's voice, & I rebuke it In the Name Of Jesus Christ, that person is dead now & I am still kicking, Now to show what I am saying Devine Healing is when ALL DOCTORS & MEDICAL MEANS OF TREATMENT CAN NOT HELP, then God can step in & heal that person, That is Devine healing, Now what is just plain healing, it is the law of Nature(BUT it is still God that made that nature) we have a law of nature in us to heal through medicines, A doctor can set a broken arm but he can not heal it, That is the law of nature in us for that arm to heal, So I am one Christian that have seen devine healing, & also I go to the doctors, because God has given a doctor the knowledge of Medicine, So what many Unlearned Christians does does not reflect on the True Believers.

Answer 11

Not as many as starved yesterday and died for the greed of the USA
