Survey of Doctrine: Topic: Cause of sickness Printer Friendly
The primary focus of this topic in the doctrine is to establish the fact that sickness and injury are not necessarily the result of sin or lack of righteousness. It does point out the importance of the firstfruit understanding the relationship between the beaten body and blood of Christ to healing and the forgiveness of sins [generally and as they might relate to sickness].
