It would be much cheaper!
Better still, Cant we pray to God not to make us sick?
And also take AIDS and Cancer away from this earth?

Jesus Christ can heal all our diseases. However, disease and sin go hand in hand. Yes, God can heal us and take away our diseases, and restore our bodies and spirits to health and life. But we mustn't sin.

God creates brain in human body to think. The doctor have the gift and brain to cure people. So, if you just wait and pray until God heals you, that would be dumb. God is not a great ATM in the sky, you swipe the card and He just give you what you need. Then why do we even need faith if that's the case ? He's sovereign and holy.
There will be diseases around the world , unfortunately. you can't get away from it. But there's always a cause of everything. Why there's AIDS in the first place ? Why there's cancer in the first place ? Human cause diseases not God.

God give the Doctors the knowledge to heal and to cure.When God does a healing its a miracle.I believe that God hears our prayers and he heals us as he uses Doctors.I also believe that if you pray to God for a healing and you believe that he will answer your prayer he will . He`s the same today as he was yesterday and in the beginning.We walk by faith and we have to trust him.In the Bible there is a passage that says it rains on the just as well as the unjust.Things happen in this life.God doesn`t make us sick we get sick.I wish there was a cure for cancer and aides too. I`ve had cancer so I know first hand what its like.God hasn`t failed me and I believe that I`m cured.

God uses many avenues for our getting well. Some go to doctors some know the art of healing our self. Some use herbs and oils. some lay on hands and some do energy work. It is all God or Gods energy so ultimately it is Gods hand in everything. As far as healing aids and Cancer. Case by case he may or may not heal them due to the lessons that soul has to learn. One has to understand karma and reincarnation to understand the big picture and Gods all loving merciful nature. Otherwise The fundamentalists have made Him out to be the most mercy less. want more info go to harekrishnatemple.c Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhpuada.

Joh 9:1-3
"And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."
only what man cannt do God do;
"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. " Mat 19:26
I've heard about many ppl who have been cured from cancer with miracles......
I hope to hear the same for AIDS
PRAYER CHANGES THINGS;
KEEP PRAYING

I would say do both.
"Act as if all things depend on you, pray as is all things depend on God."
And sure, pray to prevent disease. And be smart about what you do (don't pray about it and then do some stupid thing that makes disease a likely outcome).
But suffering is a part of the human experience. I think we need it to some degree. We certainly wouldn't know what happiness was if we didn't know what suffering was. I would prefer a world with both than a world with neither.
And remember, this life is only a small part of the picture.

If wishing and praying were effective, who needs science?
Humans started out wishing and praying since they lived in caves. They kept the habit, but they used their reason to understand how nature works. From nature and its laws they learned to understand and control some of the causes of disease. The more we progress in science, the less we need to pray.
Reason explains. Faith is a sentiment that can only make us feel good.

100 years ago the average life span of Americans was 47 years. People then relied exclusively on prayer to save them from disease. Even simple ear infections and skin infections could easily kill. Since the advent of modern medicine the American life span has soared to over 70 and we have little fear of the horrible diseases that terrorized people 100 years ago. Clearly prayer is far inferior to a visit to the doctor.

Because now in this worls we have doctors that can save lifes and God can too. Ofcourse you can pray to God to keep you healthy itll work. God didnt creat cnaceer and aids people did it to them selves not always though. But God is not gonna take it away but he can certinly make sure you are safe and healthy if you pray and ask him he will I promise :)

Let's be honest, if people relied on God to cure their diseases, the death rates would rise dramatically. When the Pope or any other religious leader get sick they seek answers from modern medicine.

I firmily believe God uses Doctors to help cure us. We could but aids and cancer are part of a fallen world. Gotta use common sense sometimes too.
