I would have to look it up to know all the details, because it's been a good while since I heard it.
There is no mandate to breath Rico, but we all agree that refusal to do so is dertimental to ones over all health.... helping another to not breath will land you in the pokey.


I see very litte difference between these two things.

you may chose to equivicate if you wish. It is a sin. period. end of story.

End of story? I didn't realize that God has now appointed you the "end of story" determiner.

Sister, we're not upset. We're just discussing the issue, giving our opinions, and, in my case, defending the faith of people who have gone down this road.

Re: Witchcraft = medication

Rico you said "God gets the glory whether He heals someone or not".

How does God get glory out of someone dying???

God doesn't get any glory over people trusting him to the death?

No God doesnt get any glory from people REFUSING to use their common sense and dying NEDLESSLY!

The Pastor and His wife I knew who BOTH died NEEDLESSLY leaving a little boy parentless did NOT bring God Glory!

Your Pastor dying NEEDLESSLY did NOT bring God Glory!

Those that die NEEDLESSLY following his example will NOT bring God glory!


The Baby in the photos down in Louisiana that died NEEDLESSLY did not bring God any GLORY!

DYING NEEDLESSLY such as from an infected pimple on the back of your neck by REFUSING medical treatment or of the REFUSING of an outpatient skin cancer removal or the REFUSING of medical professionals causing a badly botched home delivery and again NEEDLESS death not only do NOT bring God GLORY but actually quite the opposite, they bring him AND his church MUCH shame and cause many lost people to completely tune the TRUE message we have OUT as they estimate us to be DANGEROUSLY self destructive.


Please stop contending that it does!

What gives God glory is REAL BIBLE BASED FAITH that brings RESULTS not in DEATH, but in LIFE.

Ignorance is not now nor will it ever BE bliss no matter how much FAITH you put in it.

What more can one say? widows, orphans, dead babies THIS is what this doctrine leaves us with, and all NEEDLESS so sadly sadly NEEDLESS, what glory is there in NEEDLESS death?? Please some one find some so that Rico can feel justified in a very wrong position to contend for.

Rico I was teasing

I believe everyone has the right to decide whats best for them. I myself don't go to the doc much, but I don't get sick a lot, nothing major that is. To be frank most doctor scare me, they seem unable to diagnosed illness without the help of many test , more like cover their butts to avoid a lawsuit! When I was younger it was not like this, doctors took the time to know their patient they spent time with you, today your lucky if you get five min out em.


Now as far as children go, I always took my in if it was anything other then a cold, when they are adults then they can decide.

I believe our bodies are a wonderful thing and has the power to heal, renew itself, if given time and treated right, through diet and excises. People tend to take better care of their cars and what goes into it then their own body!

The only thing I've ever asked is that my children will outlive me, as should be and I hope I go fast like most do on my dads side, never knew what got em....
