MAJOR UPDATE on Priscilla McGruder

[JoeJones]

My oh my... how quick Christians (and Apostolic Pentecostals in particular) are to claim any sort of recovery as a "miraculous healing". I have heard Sis. Mcgruder's story of how she was "healed" of breast cancer. She speaks of how the doctor went in to do the surgery and the cancer was extremely hard and difficult to cut with the scalpel. This part I do believe due to the fact that breast cancer is notorious for being extremely hard and fibrous; when the body has cancer it forms a protective barrier of fibrous tissue around the cancer to isolate the toxins inside. Also, with calcification, it isn't any wonder that her cancer was "hard as a rock". This is actually a very common thing with breast cancer (and other cancers as well).

The fact is, Sis. Mcgruder was never "healed". Her breast cancer "went away" because she had surgery to have it removed and chemotherapy to ensure that it was completely removed and wouldn't immediately come back. Furthermore, no one can claim that they were "miraculously healed" of a condition if they had surgery or medication to remove or dissipate said condition. Her breast cancer went away because she had surgery; there is no miracle involved in surgery, only good medical practices and a good surgeon.

I've heard it said that if god does something he does it right. If that were the case then why is she now cancerous again? The answer is very simple: if you have cancer once you can get it again.
