How would you respond to a person who maintains that all sickness would be eliminated if people would belive more strongly in Jesus Christ?

That would not be true because when Satan was cast out of Heaven it says in the Bible that the devil will have a certain amount of time on Earth before he is bound and can no longer hurt Gods people. So even those that believe on Jesus Christ still can become sick it doesn't mean that person is sinning for getting sick and God doesn't work that way to curse people with illnesses just to get people to turn to Him.

I would refer them to the instances in the Bible where people were sick or hurting. Believing in Christ will not eliminate all sickness or suffering, believeing will bring you through that sickness.

There are two ways to ruin something,the first is to magnify it and the secon is to minify .That's true that belief and prayers can help the sick to improve,as it is ordered in some hospitals and research also supports this, but as I said this is kind of exaggeration.

I would say that they are crazy. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that believing in Jesus will get you anything except into Heaven. Even ministers and church officials have bad things happen to them. The only thing Jesus gives you is Heaven.

Now that would be great in a perfect world but its not, If it wasn't for the lord we wouldn't have people living longer lives today if the good lord didn't make medical advances Thur technology.

actually thats not true. rather more people believed or not there would be the same illnesses going on. its said that one day the earth will be hell an those who believe will be going to heaven and the others will torment in hell. anyways my opinion on this is that all these wars an illnesses are getting earth ready for what it's going to be on judement day.

Anything is possible, if nothing else Jesus can help you accept where life takes you.
