My position is it might be sin if it’s not of faith.
I preached on faith a few weeks back , and I said Going to the doctors and faith are two different things. I don’t believe the gifts of healing are through the medical/health industry, but rather in the body of Christ. If God is using the doctors , then don’t call for the elders of the church, let God use the doctors.
I have taken a couple of ibuprofen for headaches or sore throat about once a year. But I tend to think it’s a weakness in faith.
When I go to a dentist , I take medicine. But I don’t confuse the mind by saying God gave me doctors and therefore it’s faith, nope it’s leaning on the arm of flesh.
I’m concerned faith is used so little that most professed Christians won’t have enough to endure any kind of hardness.
