You people are something else, especially those of you in the medical profession. You act as if we are required to use your services. The medical profession isn't the be all and end all when it comes to the human body. God is more than capable of taking care of His creation without your help.
Rico, those of us in the medical profession obviously have more education in that area that those who aren't. That's not a slam, it's the obvious truth.
You aren't required to use medical services. Hey, if you have gangrene in your leg from a severe infection, it won't bother me in the least if you choose not to have a medical professional take care of it.
Can God take care of it? Sure. I certainly believe He can and would. But if His answer is NO, what then? Will you die and leave your family without a husband and father because you want to beat your chest for the 'I trust only God' issue, when surgery and medications will take care of that problem?
Sure, that's your choice to make, but don't blame me if I think you are selfish in making it.

Your education blinds you to a lot of things, Sister. It's ok though. I've seen the same lack of faith in other people in the medical field. All you ever think about is going to see someone for what ails you. Instead of God being your first thought, your first thought is what pill you can take or what treatment is available. When is the last time you had something wrong with you where you didn't take any kind of medicine whatsoever? When is the last time you purposefully decided that you would rely solely on prayer for something that ailed you? No doctors. No pills. No treatment whatsoever. My guess is that it has been a long time, if at all. I am not against people seeing doctors. I've seen them myself. However, there's a lot to be said for choosing to forego man's wisdom, along with all his devices, and relying exclusively on God for healing. There's nothing wrong with mixing your trust in God with trust in man's abilities, but you can't honestly lay claim to completely trusting the Lord for your body if you choose to take medicines and go to doctors for treatment.

And you wonder why I constantly tell you that you miss the point of my posts. Perhaps it's because you don't read them in the first place.
I posted more than one post on this thread that I believe in going to doctors while I also trust in God. Your post above indicates that you never read those posts.

Sister, I am getting burned out on this conversation for one day. Think what you want to think. I'm starting not to care, at least for the rest of today anyway. Read whatever you want to read in my posts, decide I don't get your point to your heart's content, whatever. I got three more hours on this stupid phone and then I think I am going to get myself a nice bottle of whiskey, and call it a night! Hehehehehehehe! You people could drive Jesus to drink!

As long as you aren't using the whiskey for medicinal purposes and you are using it to get plastered, then you are probably okay...

Uh, YOU are the one reading someone else than what's in the posts, not me.
YOU are the one who says what YOU think I believe when I have PLAINLY said otherwise.
Enjoy your whiskey!
