“Medicine” helps no one.

Then either your God is evil or you are a religious wacko.........

Rather than condemn God, I choose to condemn you and your false interpretation of God's word...

Crazy interpretations. I never really met anyone who thinks if you get sick you can’t call a doctor. I guess if you have a leg cramp while swiming in the ocean you can accept the help of a life guard either. Ephesians 4:11 doesn’t mention anything about lifeguards to help us. You get in a bad car wreck and you can’t let the EMSA people treat you I suppose. Who knows....

Hi, HT, good post. God is certainly not anti-medicine. The poorly-Biblically-educated ought to read Ezekiel and Revelation about God giving us trees with leaves for healing, or the Book of Wisdom which thanks God for providing the virtues (health-giving powers) of leaves and roots.

Or Colossians 4:14, where Paul calls Luke the "beloved physician," or a neat passage where Paul himself tries a little doctoring, telling Timothy, "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities." (1 Timothy 5:23)

The anti-medicine advocates would truly be dangerous if Christian believers took them seriously.

Fortunately, few do.
