I don't have the courage and type of faith I've seen in those saints, so I don't know what I would do if I found out I had cancer or some other situation that meant certain death. It's easy to boast of accomplishments not yet achieved, if you catch my drift. It's another thing entirely to walk this "no doctors" road all the way to end. People say God gets no glory when someone dies "trusting God." I couldn't disagree with them more if I tried. People are so worried about how things look to man. Who cares how things look to man? How about how they look to God? His ways are so much higher than our ways. It goes against man's reasoning, his common sense if you will, to willingly die in the hands of a God who could easily say the word and do a miracle. It isn't about the miracles or the healings, however. It's about trust.

Rico, I guess that since I strongly disagree with the position for Biblical reasons I see little to commend it. I see many trusting their gods and doing foolish things so their blind trust to me is not a virtue. It is an ill-informed type of arrogance, at least in some cases.
