Does God allow disease because of sin?

No, it wasn't gone, just misdiagnosed.

Are you saying you'd believe them if they said everything was gone that was there previously, but you don't believe them when they say she was misdiagnosed?

But was she really misdiagnosed, OR would the doctors not want to give God credit for healing?

It seems to me that if she was 'healed', the docs would have told her they didn't find anything wrong with her.

Without any other info than saying she was misdiagnosed implies that there is still a problem, just not what they thought it was.

Doctors diagnosed two terminal diseases. The preacher told her to repent to her husband and work things out with him.

Later she went back to the doctors and they said that she was misdiagnosed.

What I wonder about is does God allow people to have disease because of sin or in this case the ladies attitude toward her husband?

I believe that they believe that they misdiagnosed the 2 terminal diseases. But I also know that God works in ways that are way above you and me. It IS possible that they did not misdiagnose, and that God stepped in and took care of the problem, isn't it??

I totally agree, however, there is nothing that says that something wasn't wrong at all, and that's what I was addressing.

I have been misdiagnosed several times. One of those times resulted in my having brain surgery after the correct diagnosis was made.
