Will you accept this challenge ?

Question

You call your self a believer, you believe in god the creator of heaven and earth, your in a situation where your loved one is lying down dying say a heart attack, will call upon god the creator or a doctor ?

answers like " like ill call upon doctor and ask him to guide the doctor" is a mere excuse.

Answer 1

thats a mean question! why not both?

Answer 2

If I were a Scientologist I would not call a doctor.

Why can't a Christian call 911 when their loved one is having a heart attack and pray to God while waiting for the ambulance? And have a doctor exam their loved one while you are in the waiting room worrying and pray to God that He makes everything okay? And if your loved one has to have heart surgery, why can't you pray that God guide the surgeon's hands and let your loved one survive the surgery and have a speedy recovery? I'm Catholic and I pray to God for myself and for my family and friends that need help with their health and I still see a doctor once in a while and take my son to one once in a while. There is no law that God gave us in the Bible or a church that says a Christian can't go to a medical doctor or even a psychologist or psychiatrist.

Your question makes no sense. I stay home and pray when I have migraines or a cold. But if I break a bone or have a hernia, I'm seeing a doctor. God created the people that ended up being our doctors.

Answer 3

Of course I would call a doctor! The Bible even says, "Physician, heal thyself." If God didn't intend for man to be able to have the knowledge to take care of himself, why do we need doctors? It isn't going to stop me from calling on God to guide the doctor, but I am going to find a good doctor in that situation.

Answer 4

to a believer,the sickness itself is from god..and what the doctor has is also from god..i will find the doctor but only after a high hope to god and after i call Him..first thing first..God will always be the first and the priority...i am not accepting your challenge k,its just a question for me to answer...and one more thing..i thik i will forgot about the doctor and the onl;y thing that i cried is dear God..and this is a true experienced which i had myself...i am calling for god but my friend is calling the doctor..the doctor is late about half an hour..and the only i do to my beloved is asking her to hope..hope to god while my hope is higher than mountain...and she is safe though the doctor predict that she couldnt be saved..and yes,she is still with me answering your question in God's will..maybe one day,our child will answer your child's question..in God's will..

Answer 5

You know, you people just never give-up wanting to prove conclusively what total, anal-"brained" dumbasses you really are. After your utterly stupid and insignificant question, the first word is "answers" and the last word is "excuse". This is a prime example of what I mean when I write that you moronic God-haters begin with a contradiction and end with a contradiction. What point did you possibly hope to achieve when your own choice of words acknowledges what you first refer to as an answer and then ultimately, at the end the same sentence, refer to as an excuse? Can we say oxymoron? Or in your case, a regular moron? And where is the challenge? A challenge implies the mental or physical calling out of an opponent who, ideally, is worth the effort. Obviously, I know nothing of your physical abilities. However, if your "question" as posed is indicative of any correlation between your perceived intelligence as opposed to your actual intelligence, rest assured that your alpha waves would be little more than an infentesimal speck on the surface of an electron. Your "question", like so many others before it, suffers internally from, and how ironic, the fallacy of many questions because your real goal is not to engage in honest inquiry, but rather to cast apersions on your intended audience with what you call a "challenge" disguised as what else?- an alleged "question" in search of an "answer". For your pathetic sake, I'll indulge myself in a moment of fancy and address this ill-fated "question". First, God is not at our beck and call, which for you means that He gave us the gift of deliberate thought to act responsibly in the affairs of life. That said, I personally would call 911 first (NOT the doctor first) and once my loved one was medically stable, my prayers would immediately be offered-up to the Master on behalf of my loved one. Of course, this would be in accordance with the perfect example set by the Master Himself in the garden when He said to the Father, "...not My will be done, but YOURS be done." (Want to read it for yourself, clueless? Look it up.) Have a pleasant day and stop embarrassing youself in His presence. Peace.

Answer 6

We call a Doctor. According to the Bible people get sick and people die and that is a part of life. Although we miss people we know that we will see them again in heaven, but if there is anything in a medically way that can be done for them we certainly do it. That does not mean that we don't pray for them, we do. Remember that there is just one small part of Christianity that believes in this healing ministry and it really doesn't work. If anyone thinks it works all they have to do is watch Benny Hinn and see if they can see one person in the whole program that really gets healed. Studies have shown that they never really heal anyone and the Bible doesn't teach that we have any reason to believe that they should be healed.

Answer 7

I'm not sure what you mean by 'mere excuse'.

We are to call upon God in all situations. We are also to help ourselves.

I believe that God provides, however I go to the kitchen, take out food, prepare it, and cook it. I give thanks to God for blessing us with food. I'm not going to sit on my backside waiting for food to fall down from heaven.

In the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were to work and look after the garden and animals. Why would it be any different now? We live in a fallen world which is groaning under the weight of sin.

So I would be praying to our Lord to be with my loved one and heal him/her; whilst phoning for assitance and doing whatever I physically could to help.

Answer 8

Being a believer doesn't mean to be passive observer of going ons. God gave man power to think and act. He will be happy to see his creation using it for self-improvement. Calling doctor is the right approach and then whatever happens, accept it as god's will.

Answer 9

both. but yeow you don't know what the f.ck your talking about that is Greek legend about a farmer that had his cart stuck in the mud and refused help until Hercules came to help him. but when Hercules came he knew what was going on so he said the line but with the word gods not god. To answer you question though both the bible says that God will help but to do nothin would be testing him. I'm no christian and your question is of little value to the christian for one you don't mean it in a way other than to anger and they would do both just as would a Muslim budist or Mormon and even Hindu

Answer 10

If your belief system means that you have to forget about survival principles, then your belief is wrong. You must survive before you can believe.

So it makes sense to call your doctor first in an emergency. It does not make you an unbeliever; it is just common sense.

Answer 11

If I am a Christian .... I will call the doctor then say


"god only help those that help themselves"

or

"god created the telephone for me to call the doctor, if I do not call a doctor I am defiling god"

or

"god created medicine so doctor can practise, so in essence , the doctor is god's messenger"

LOL
