I agree with most statements but I want to say this if a man preaches this and his folks live this and some even die this then when it his turn he should stay with it. But the problem is pain can be prolonged and severe and it takes awhile to die and your constitution has to be strong to make it.

I do agree with what you're saying, Bro Epley. If a man preaches against medical doctors, then he certainly should stay with what he's preached when it comes to his own health.
But this is the point at which I am having to search my own heart. Because I'm not sure if I think he should stay with that belief even if it leads to his death because I want to be spiteful. Because his teaching caused my friend to lose her life unnecessarily. Or do I think he should stay with that teaching even if it leads to his death because to do less would make him appear to be a hypocrit? Or is this one of those areas where I want to believe that the man taught this because he honestly believed it is what it takes to please God and if that's what he believes and his desire is to please the Lord, then by all means, I think he should do that?
I don't know - honestly. I can't tell you. To be really frank and transparent tho, there is a part of me that feels like if the man's preaching caused my friend to die, then he deserves no less. Sorry about seeming so hard hearted. Pray for this bit of anger in me.

When it comes to the no doctor issue it would be best to let it be by personal conviction.What comes to my mind is the poor baby that died and was brought to the Brownsville Revival.The family was so distraught.What a horrible thing.

I think if he changes, he needs to change wholeheartedly and admit he was previously wrong.

I think so, too.....but I don't think it is likely that will ever happen. Have you ever noticed that when people "depart" from this earth, that there seems to be a lot of loose ends?...Things that you wish had been settled - relationships mended, friendships/fellowships renewed, forgiveness requested or granted, restorations, emotional healings...Guess that's what heaven is for, but what about when both parties think they are right and there is never any settlement on earth?
I remember reading in a book that Hypocrites's mother was a Jew.So technically speaking that makes him a Jew though he was not on his
fathers side.God gave knowledge to him for healing.Modern medicine today
as we know it was not what was practised before he came on the scene
Before that witchcraft was practiced and mysticism.What he began was not as modern as we have it but really a blessing to mankind and only the knowledge that could have come from God.I think of the woman who had
the issue of blood.God did not rebuke her for going to the doctor.He just had the answer they did not.He is God.
In studying famous people one of the couples that I have come to respect the most for their dedication is the Curies.The invented the xray and suffered alot during the time they began to discover the isotopes and work with radon.
It was a poisonous substance.We have all benefited from their dedication.
To think that all medical knowledge is witchcraft is very narrow minded.
I disagree with the way society though is wanting to treat everyone with chemicals.Alot of these things have more side effects than the good they
do.It seems like the Doctors of today do less real medical treatment and more prescribing than anything.The amount of Seroquel and Paxil and Vistaril that is distributed is mind boggling.Sadly society is a feel good society and the first little stress they feel they reach for a pill instead of prayer.God is good.
I have actually read books by charismatic authors that feel that medical
personnel need a certain spirit cast out of them.Its wierd.God called me to be a nurse.We provide comfort to those in need and pain.We provide assistance.
We do treatments.We are the ones who do not mind bringing you some tylenol or pain meds when you have just had your appendix or gall bladder removed.We don't mind washing and dressing your wounds.Some of us
stay up all night just incase you buzz.Sadly people think we get paid too much.Sorry but lately few tell us thank you.People have become so demanding and places want to make the most off us when they bill insurances and medicaid so they give us almost to many people to handle but its a call
of God to be a nurse.God called me to this.No one in their right mind would answer in the flesh.Its hard physical unapprieciated labour but one day
all the fevered brows of those I witnessed to and prayed will be rewarded
by Jesus.My greatgrandpa was a doctor.His wife was a nurse and worked in his clinic side by side.Most of my mothers cousins are physicians trained by him.I have two sisters.One is a nurse and owns a medical supply business and the other
a Med Tech.Its in our hearts to help others.My brother died at an early age but I felt he would have been a physician.He was class Valdicatorian and awarded a scholarship for physics but decided to go into the Navy as an officers candidate.He died at twenty five so I will never know but he sure had
the mentality.
Excellent post, and I feel the same way.
As for the pay, I have yet to see a nurse get paid what they are owed for what they do. I have never seen CNA's get paid what they are due either.
Like you, I feel that God called me to be a nurse. I'm definitely not in it for the money, but I enjoy my job, and I go home feeling that I've made a difference in someone's life.
I hug my patients. I smile all the time. I never act like I'm in a hurry or don't want to listen to their imaginary problems about things that haven't happened or don't exist (I work in a few nursing homes).
I am glad to be a comfort to someone who is dying and is scared. I have seen CNA's sitting in the dark, holding the hand of a woman who is crying for her mother who went to the store and is now lost. I have seen nurses wipe the tears of a man who was supposed to go home but has just been told he is terminal with cancer.
There is a lot more to nurses than just passing meds, doing treatments, and calling doctors. Some of us actually care in our hearts for the people in our care. One cannot put a price tag on how much that is worth.

That is sad.In olden days before antibiotics folks used to take sulfur tablets.
Nowadays its known as Bactrim DS and costs alot more than sulfur tabs and
are md prescribed only.There are things that you can do to boost your immunity.God gave us sense as well as healing.Plant life contains a wealth of
healing properties.Alot of things are chemically produced but herbal components are usually the basis or extracts.It amazing what building up your immunity can do for you.
Yep, a little bud in your brownies keeps the doctor away! LOL!

we just had a Lady in our church Die a few weeks back.she was 94.
she had been a member of our church from the beginning 52 years.
Hse did not believe in Doctors. one time she had gang-green (so?)
in her leg. her family tried to force her to to the doctors but she would not think of it. God heald her completly. when folks were sick she was the one they called on.
I decided if i get cancer i will not accept treatment just believe God. Only if I'm in pain will i take something. I can't tolerate Pain whatsoever

Thad, you need to educate yourself....really. Cancer survivors are much more numerous than those who lose that battle.
I'm puzzled as to how you can believe God to heal you of cancer but not to help you deal with the pain.
