Medical Science As The Provision Of God For Healing. by Martinez39(m): 1:20am On Apr 12, 2019 |
Despite the bible talking about Yahweh being capable of healing and his promises to answer prayers of faith, many christians still can't bring themselves to put these in practice when shit hits the fan in life. Many, within them, know that the promises of Yahweh to heal the sick, who ask with faith, are laughable but since they want to keep on believing, they resolve the cognitive dissonance with illogical excuses such as "god is not a magician," "doctors and nurses are god provisions for healing" etc. in other to obviate their responsibility of embracing the miraculous as christians. One of these illogical excuses that I want to address is "doctors and nurses are god provisions for healing." When christians use this line, what they mean is "Yahweh doesn't heal anyone directly instead the only way he heals is through doctors and nurses." They cleverly do this because, within them, they know that the miraculous healing is βullshit but they want to keep on believing. They try to absolve themselves of the responsibility to believe and practice faith healing instead of going to hospital. Does this excuse really make sense? No it doesn't. To use such excuse means you indirectly admit that Yahweh, being all powerful, can't properly implement appropriate solutions to problems or is plain wicked. If Yahweh can provide healing for those who ask in faith, why leave them in the hands of doctors and nurses? Doctors and nurses are not perfect and can make mistakes that can be fatal at times. Medicine doesn't have solutions to certain ailments but Yahweh supposedly does, then why make medicine his only provision for healing when he can use his raw power? If medical science, not his raw power, is the only provision for healing then such provision is not sufficient for cancer patients, people with Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome, AIDS patients, the with ebola hemorrhagic fever etc. People with these end up dying. So why make medicine the only possible way when Yahweh could have used his raw power? With his allegedly raw power, these difficulties in medicine would be avoided and no one would die. Does it make sense for Yahweh to ignore his perfect efficient power and opt for the imperfect and evolving medical science? Does this not make him an unintelligent god incapable of making sound choices? If he is perfectly sane and intelligent, does this not make him psychopathic? Why ignore your raw power that has a cure to all diseases for medical science that is limited in proffering solutions to many deadly illnesses? In many cases of manageable illnesses, the patients go through daily discomfort and spend money when this would not have been the case if Yahweh had made his raw power the provision for healing instead of the imperfect medical science. What about cases of mentally ill people who are confined to the psychiatric wards? Which would have helped them better, medical science or Yahweh's raw power(assume it exists as the bible claims)? Is this a foolish god or a psychopath? If he is sane and perfect in intellect, then he is wicked to watch people suffer and die when he could have used his raw power. Before anti-malarial drugs were discovered, millions of children and adults died from malaria and there was nothing medical science, the provision of God for healing, could do but had god made his raw power the provision, such would not have happened. I ask you, do you think it is wise for Yahweh, being all powerful, to make the imperfect medical science his provision of healing when he could have used his raw power? So much for this divine provision of healing that many surgeries are predicted to have slim chances of success but this would not have been the case if Yahweh had used his raw power. He did it in biblical times, why should now be different? Does this make sense to you? Given all I have stated, we can conclude that for Yahweh to make the imperfect medical science his only provision for healing instead of his raw power, then either he is too dull to proffer apt solutions to problems or he is simply a psychopath. Perhaps, we depend on medical science because it all we've got and there is no god existing.

I think you misunderstand Yahweh and are looking at him through the prism of the current crop of retards calling themselves christians. Yahweh doesn't cure. He inflicts. Yahweh created diseases, illnesses, pestillence and all types of turturing as punishment for either the isrealites that refused to obey him or those that he deemed enemies of his people. You can see numerous examples of this in the scripture. Now what these christians do it they take the lies of Yahweh literally. Yahweh said he heals but he never healed anybody that naturally contracted any disease. He has no such powers. His powers of healing was restricted by the council of Elohim to heal only those afflictions that he himself caused. That was why he was able to heal Job whose diseases he caused. 8 Likes 1 Share |

advocate666:I was looking at it from the christian perspective. If they claim god is all powerful, perfect and all loving and he heals, would it make sense for them to say that medical science is Yahweh's only provision for healing? |

I AM SURE THE MOST THE "MOST CHRISTIAN" PERSON ALIVE ON EARTH WILL DO IS TO COME HERE AND URGE US TO IGNORE LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE AND JUST BELIEVE IN THE ALL-WISE AND MYSTERIOUS YAHWEH SO THAT WE CAN MAKE HEAVEN WHEN WE DIE. THEY'LL SAY THAT AND DISAPPEAR WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE SITUATION ON GROUND. AND THEN SIGN OUT WITH THE USUAL "A FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART............ " ![]() 7 Likes 1 Share |

advocate666:"He said, "If you will listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what he considers right, if you pay attention to his commands and obey all his laws, I will never make you suffer any of the diseases I made the Egyptians suffer, because I am the LORD, who heals you."" - Exodus 15:26 You are only absolutely right about the less than 1% truth thing you said, everything else you mentioned, just as and/or like, the most important person or thing in your life does, is making up misleading, ill-informed and deceptive stories. Contrary to the misleading, ill-informed and deceptive stories, diseases, illnesses, pestillence etcetera are and/or were not created by God. They are emergent phenomena that came about since the ground was cursed because of Adam eating of the fruit off the forbidden tree. If Jesus heals spiritually and physically, what more proof of God healing, does anyone need more about the power of God to heal, huh? Now, go ask your head honcho to tell and you learn from him, about how sin got to be found him. Martinez39:Yes, medical science is one of the avenues and/or mechanisms for healing, it isnt an only provision. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

MuttleyLaff:Before medical science, my ancestors and their children died and suffered from tuberculosis, polio, sickle cell disease, malaria etc. If they had any divine provision for healing then, it surely didn't help with malaria and sickle cell diseases. So what is your point? That there is something in addition to medical science? Are both of them a perfect combo and are they logically better that the alleged raw power of god? What exactly is your point? ![]() 3 Likes |

Uyi168:Your snapshot narrative is skewed and distorted in a way that only can be regarded as inaccurate, unfair and misleading. Uyi168 do you know the potential of an acorn oaknut seed, erh? In that acorn oaknut seed, are furnitures for a home, furnitures, like beds to sleep in, chairs or settees to sit and relax in, dinning tables to eat on, from it, is the scaffolding planks for building a home, in that seed, is a tree, that birds will build nests in, is wood to make coffins with, you get the drift as the list goes on Everything needed on earth is in a seed. God has not withheld, in fact God made all healing available, it is not God to blame, if man has not step up to the plate on time to unearth and discover things for healing, just as bacteriologist Alan Fleming, a believer, eventally did or Louis Pasteur, another believer, who sometimes is famously called the father of microbiology. He was the first to prove that germs make us sick. 3 Likes 1 Share |

MuttleyLaff:There is nothing you will not do to defend your god. How do you know everything needed to heal man is in a seed? Where is your evidence for this or did just assume? Let's assume that the cure for HIV and AIDS are in a seed, why hasn't god informed people on what that seed is? Isn't that better than watching people suffer and die because they've not been able to identify the plant? If you knew what the seed was, won't you inform others? If yes then your moral compass is greater than that of your god? Also, don't accuse people of not "stepping up" because scientists have spent hours and billions of dollars researching the cure to various incurable. Is it logical for god to withhold such life saving information and watch people suffer and die because man hasn't "stepped up"? Does it make sense for him provide such obscure means of healing when he could have simply pointed out the healing seeds? Even with our trial and error method of testing suspected medicinal seeds, people lost their lives by ingesting the wrong plants. You have made no sense instead you have indirectly shown your god to be either dull to make rational decisions or psychopathic. 8 Likes 1 Share |

The fact is they don't know, they are guessing. Spontaneous remission? It is the god. Medical intervention? It is the god. Failure leading to death? Praise the god.

MuttleyLaff:Lol. You've made no sense. Ancient medicine is no match for modern medicine. From my OP, I showed that it was illogical to choose medical science as the sole provision for healing when god had the option of providing his raw power as promised in the bible. How then can it be logical to make ancient medicine or a combination of ancient and modern medicine the provision of health when he has the option of providing his raw power as in biblical times? Ancient and modern medicine, taken together, are still not perfect and have the same limitations listed in my op. Trial and error with wood doesn't kill anyone. Trial and error with suspected medicinal plants led to the death of many who were ingesting plants to know which is appropriate for certain diseases. Sometimes, after all testing they still didn't get the cure to some the diseases they wanted to cure and while they waited to get a cure for some diseases, their loved ones were dying in the thousands. Would this had been the case if god had provided his raw power? Would it not have been better? Oga you are making no sense and indirectly showing that either your god is too dull to make rational decisions or he is psychopathic. 3 Likes |
