|
Faith |
A Christian must walk in continual faith. |
|
|
Faith |
If God allows a person to die, this may be a demonstration of faith. |
|
|
Faith |
If one can live many long and useful years in God's service through an operation, rather than be debilitated by disease or even die in agony, that cannot be condemned as a lack of faith. |
|
|
Faith |
One of the biggest factors that blocks a person from receiving more faith is his own erroneous belief that he already has enough faith when he does not. |
|
|
Faith |
One reason people are not healed is because they do not have the appropriate faith. |
|
|
Faith |
Death may in some cases be a greater sign of faith than life and healing. |
|
|
Faith |
Going to a dentist, taking medicine or tending to a wound is not an affront to God as our Healer; nor do they contradict faith. |
|
|
Faith |
Faith in God and scientific confidence in man are not in conflict. Faith in God is a matter of the heart between a person and God. It is entirely possible to receive medical help-and even have a positive trust in that technological help-without having this trust or confidence supersede or negate one's faith in God. |
|
|
Faith |
The technical utilization of modern medical science is not the factor that must decide where one's faith is. Faith is fully determined by the person's attitude in his private relationship with God. |
|
|
Faith |
Faith says that God can heal; it is not a guarantee that God shall heal in every individual situation. |
|
|
Faith |
It is surely not a sign of faith to neglect appropriate physical methods which can cure a disease, slow an illness or relieve suffering. |
|
|
Faith |
It is also not a sign of faith to seek obscure second-class treatment when competent first-class health care is readily available. |
|
|
Faith |
If one can live many long and useful years in God's service through an operation, rather than wasting those years by suffering in agony, how can that be condemned as lack of faith? |
|
|
Faith |
Faith in God for healing and the sensible, sagacious use of the most modern medical/health procedures do not clash. |
|
|
God vs. Medical Science |
Faith in God does not conflict with use of medical science. |
|
|
God vs. Medical Science |
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. |
|
|
God vs. Medical Science |
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. |
