WW--Christians Shouldn’t Use Medicine

~How can we say that we have faith if we depend on medicine for our healing?
~If you really believed that prayer works, you wouldn’t seek any other form of remedy.
~Aren’t we protected by Jesus’ blood and covered in every area of our lives by it?
~Medical doctors deny the complexity of the human being by treating the body as if it is only a machine.
~The personal touch element is missing from most medical encounters. It’s a sterile environment pathogen-wise and also humanity-wise.
~Medical doctors discount a variety of alternative treatments such as Chiropractic and Naturpathic and even Herbal and Eastern healing techniques.
~Medicine assumes that surgery and drugs are the answer to everything instead of dealing with the actual causes of problems. Nobody gets headaches because of an ibuprofen deficiency.
~Medicine discounts the very real impact of spiritual problems and demonic afflictions which cannot be treated by ordinary medical means.
~Medicine is terribly expensive, and even more so than it should be because of the current condition of insurance and malpractice and HMOs.
~Medicine is polluted by the drug companies who use every means available to get doctors to recommend their particular drugs.
~We need God, not some guy who got a degree at a secular school.
~The Bible is negative towards doctors, consider the woman with the issue of blood who spent all her money and only got worse.
~Asa, the king in 1 Chronicles 16:12 was punished for seeking physicians not the Lord.
~The scientific worldview is hostile to the Biblical one.
~If it’s your time to die, you aren’t going to stop it. And if it’s not, you aren’t going to cause it.
