I'm not asking if you believe god can heal through faith. Do you believe that there are people who lay there hands on people and heal them?

You again?I'll believe faith healers before I can believe a squirrel can turn into a flying fox by jumping off a tree.

*smack* ... that's funny!
As for faith healers, the ones we think of on tv, or the ones in tents, holding snakes, while people convulse around, biting the heads off of chickens, oh no. They've got to go! Bunch of thieves, every last one of 'em!
Now, if someone prays for you in private, asking for no money, and you get better, I mean suddenly get better, then this is God healing you, not the one who prays.
That happened to me once. I have congenital glaucoma in both eyes. Now it's just in the left, the right one was remoevd. Anyway, when I was 11, I had a cataract removed from my right eye. The next day I went home, and five days later, I came back to the hospital in excruciating pain in the right eye. The eye pressure had skyrocketed up to 60 (normal eye pressure for me is 17), and the Dr scheduled me for surgery the next day. Nurses gave me an injection for pain, but it did no good, the pain stayed. It even hurt to touch my head. Oh, and the pain was so bad, I was vomiting. When my stomach was finally emptied, I still went through the vomiting motions with dry heaves.
The chaplain came into my room, placed his hands on my head (owwww!!!), and prayed for healing. The next day I was FINE. The eye pressure was normal, and I had zero pain. Surgery was cancelled, and I was kept for 5 days under observation, then released.
That was REAL faith healing. The chaplain wasn't passing out a collection hat, he was humbly praying, letting God use him as a vessel. He was a true servant of God.

Not sure about faith healers, i suspect some are just 'con' artists and others may have a power that THEY believe in and the power of suggestion, but I can't really have an opinion until I see one in action, with my own eyes!

if there is a higher power,why should it not be passed to a few good people that will use it for the good,and I'm not talking about to get rich off of it,faith and hope has a lot to do with thing's

The matter is a person with false domination cannot make good sense even if he heals people
