when christians become?

Question

when christians become unwell
could be anything( flu,disease,viruse's'broken bone's,heart attack)

am asking this because sum off my previous questions christians have said that god will heal them when they become ill all the do is pray and god will answer them and heal them how can this be true its impossible..so why say it

cause apparently christians are against medicine against sceince against evolution
all of the above have helped the human specis become better when we take unwell
so what i ask is dont christians visit there doctor when the fall ill(or do they just pray to god and its a miracle there cured thats what they say )
or are they just hypocrite's

god will heal a person in his own time hmmmmmm so he just lets you lie in pain intill he is ready to heal you sum god that eh?

Answer 1

interesting how that works huh. christians think its god healing them, they have know knowledge of the human body and how anti-bodies work, what makes us well. they use medicine and still claim god did all the work... last i recalled medicine was made by man. ud think if it WAS god, they wouldnt need to go to the doctors or the hospitals. when diagnosed with cancer their god should be able to heal it without chemotherapy?

Answer 2

Your question is rather confused.
Christians are not against science. Many of the greatest scientists were Christians (Newton, Faraday, Kepper, Pasteur, Boyle, Babbage, Hooke, Maxwell, Kelvin, Boyle, etc)

Being able to do science relies on there being fixed laws. Christians believe that a rational consistent God is behind the scientific laws of the universe. This was fundamental to the scientific revolution in Europe.

Evolution is a philosophical idea about the past. Origins science is very different to operational science. The latter is testable and repeatable. The former is not.
In fact, evolution contradicts both scientific principles (such as the 2nd law of thermodynamics) and the observed evidence (e.g. the observed fossils do not not show transition between different kinds).

As for medicine, God gave us enquiring minds to discover how the body works, and plants containing drugs which cure many ailments.

Answer 3

Don't know about some of the christians you know but I am taught that god sometimes uses doctors to heal. We are encouraged to get 'miracle' healings (there are more and more nowadays) verified by doctors. God will allow some people to be ill for a long time, nobody can say why. or why he chooses to heal immediately sometimes.
I've prayed and seen people (non believers) healed instantly in front of my eyes. It happens a lot.

Answer 4

I am of The True Christian Faith... I know with absolute certainty that my Salvation is assured and that I will enter Heaven when my mortal time is up... that said... I just came out of 18 days of hell after getting a flu shot that made me sicker than a dog eating road kill.... and I felt like road kill most of the time... I took efvery thing I could find on the store shelf... I did do some pray'n for sure...but I also did all I could to releive my own suffering... and when it had run the course it was over... I do beleive that God gave me the strength to endure that suffering... but it just had to run it's cours... that said... I have also had a couple of clearly and without doubtcases of being healed of pysical hurts through the power of prayer.... I know with out an doubt that god interviened for me to be healed on both occasions... I do not question why god chooses to heal a bad hurt and not a bad flu... there are many things man can not know or hope to understand about God and His ways.... I am just eternaly greatful for The Truth of my salvation...

No one of The True Christian Faith should be against medical science...all science is from God... thus all science is good...but... causion must be used...as mankind is not always properly using God's science and dose tend to make mistakes from time to time... always get a second opinion.

Answer 5

First - God heals - but He heals when He wants to. The Apostle Paul had an ailment described as a thorn in his side and God never healed him from it. God is not a trained monkey that comes and does His tricks whenever He is called on. He is the ultimate authority and He chooses what He will do.

Second - I believe God gave us a brain so we can do some things for ourselves - He gave us curiosity and the ability to problem solve. He provided plants to be used for pharmaceuticals. Going to a doctor is a good thing when you are ill, have a broken bone, etc. God placed doctors on this Earth for a reason.

Answer 6

The fundamental point to your question is a good one and reminds me of the repercussions experienced by non Christians during the Black Plague that ravaged Western Europe in the mid to late 14th century. And how did it impact negatively on non Christians?

During that period, no one bathed. There was a homely that stated, "A bath when you're born and a bath when you die. Let the rest take care of itself." Due to no one bathing, everyone was infested with fleas, lice and ticks. This is what started the fad of wearing powdered wigs because people lost their hair due to this kind of infestation. It was also the perfect set of circumstances for the pandemic like the Black Plague because it was caused by fleas that contracted a bacteria that blocked the flea's stomach. The flea would voraciously bite the host and through the feeding process, infected blood carrying the plague bacteria would flow from the flea's stomach into the open wound. The plague bacteria would then have a new host, and the flea would eventually die from starvation. The sad thing being, all of this could have been avoided had Christianized Western Europe bathed on a regular basis.

What happened next was this. Pagans and Jews bathed regularly. Why? A Jew would bath before Sabbath meal because the Friday Ritual required it. Pagans also were required to bath before participating in Ritual Circle. Result? Pagans and Jews did not fall ill to the Black Plague in the numbers that Christians did. Their deaths to this disease were substantially lower. So what did the Christians conclude from this?

Pagans and Jews made a pact with the Devil! That's why they didn't die in the same numbers as Christians! This gave Christians one more ignorant reason to persecute and murder Jews and Pagans! Woo-Hoo!

So I must fully agree with you. Christians who profess that god cures them, suffer from the same intellectual defect as their 14th century forebears. They are as ignorant as the great unwashed from the Black Plague era. Calling modern day Christians who continue to profess this, "hypocrites" is in fact a compliment by comparison.

Answer 7

There are some denominations of Christians who don't go to the Dr. because they believe that God will heal them but most of us know we were given brains and intelligence for a reason. We will go to any Dr. or eat any medicine to make us and our loved ones well. We also pray to God to help the Dr. and to cure us faster. Please don't generalize Christians based on a few people here. Most of us do believe in science, evolution and medicine.

Answer 8

Of course Christians go to doctors. And we are appreciative of the technology that eases the burdens of our lives..the car, interstates, dishwashers, amd other appliances...running water, toilets inside....lol of course evolution is some guys idea of the truth when God says he made man..he made animals..he made the vegetation...
By the way according to God the chicken came first..lol He created the full grown and then they had offspring. As was proof that man was created as a man not a blob in the ocean.

The scriptures do call attention to spiritual illness and say..if a man is ill among you, let him call the older men to him that they may pray over him and his sins will be forgiven...they ask God to forgive the sins.

Answer 9

Christians are not against the use of medicines. Apostle Paul told Timothy to take some for his health. In heaven, even the leaves of the tree of life are used for healing of the nations.

Answer 10

God will heal a person in His own time ,and yes we beleive in medicine and science but not a fable or theory like evolution. Evolution scientist don`t cure cancer or any disease so their not in the same category.
