| Key Statement/Teaching |
Paragraph |
Faith in God does not conflict with use of medical
science.
|
1 |
Specialists can aid the body in time of injury or bad
health. This human aid in no way hinders God if He
decides to intervene miraculously and do what cannot be
done physically.
|
40 |
It
is entirely within biblical principles and common sense
to seek competent medical help and still rely on God for
healing at the same time; healing through faith in God
and the modern health sciences is not a contradiction or
a combination of opposites; indeed, what God can do for
man as a special blessing should work together with what
man can do technologically for himself.
|
117 |
Only God can "heal"-if we define "healing" as a
miraculous, supernatural removal of an affliction or
illness. Physicians are only mortal men and can only
work with the laws God designed to function in the human
body. Medical science can work to speed, enhance or aid
recovery.
|
122 |
There is no reason why the judicious use of physical
methods should interfere with either one's faith or the
ability and desire of God to heal.
|
125 |
With the scientific and technological advances, man
should give God the credit; for it was God who created
the human mind, empowering it with the creative
brilliance to constantly attain to new heights of
achievement in the physical world.
|
126 |
Faith in God for healing and the sensible, sagacious use
of the most modern medical/health procedures do not
clash.
|
130 |
Healing through faith in God and through scientific
medicine should, therefore, never be artificially
opposed to one another, but should, rather,
symbiotically reinforce one another to bring the
greatest benefits to human beings.
