OP Ur post makes so much sens especially d part where u syd people who dnt believe God for small things overnyt become Faith Practitioners just because someone said this or said that. Have heard of a Mrs Kunle too. D problem is informatn...too many uninformed and misinformed folks. I think the issue of Faith and Medicine complement rather than conflict each other because it takes Faith to take Medicine for it to work.
Hey OP dnt regret following u!

xcelsia:
I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion in this life, for some people, they have enough faith in divine healing which works for them. Different strokes for different folks, what works for Mr A can kill Mr B.

I combine prayers with medical help, some people don't believe in God and therefore don't believe in prayers. Regardless of what the case may be, I think people should be allowed to do whatever makes them happy.

If someone depends on divine healing only and sees it's not working, he/she should remember the part of the bible that says faith without works is dead. All you have to do is advice them and tell them the consequences of their refusal to seek medical help, if they refuse then you move on, life is too short.

Except the individual is a child in need of guidance, we need to let adults do whatever they want to do. If they only want to pray, seek only medical help or combine both, it's their business, life goes on.

We all have one life to live, focus on what makes you happy and please move on.

If Jesus can heal with a touch why can't any other faithful Christian do so? Jesus never recommended a hospital bed for a Christian and for a Christian to be the son of God, wouldn't a benefit include healing.

Lets be clear on one thing first before we can engage in a discourse: Are u saying that Chrisitians shouldnt take medications?
Yes Jesus Healed bt do u rmbr dt at a time d desciples couldnt heal a demon-possessd child not until after a "significant leap of faith" (which Jesus measured and syd it should b as smol as a mustard seed) after d pentecost. Dont also forget that Timothy was admonished to take some wine as medication for his stomach troubles. My brother I still hold onto my position until u convince me otherwise..Faith and Medicine are complementary not conflicting

Kay17:


But the unbelievers rely on medicine too, and there wouldn't be a difference in Jesus' message if both the believer and the unbeliever sleep on the same hospital bed.

Bro U ddnt answr ma qstion. The issue of reliance on drugs is a personal non issue whether for a believer or not which there is nothing wrong in itself. Kay if uve got faith enough to live in divine health..praise God for ur life but dnt go equating takin medications with being an unbeliever. Faith has its place n lyk I syd it tks som level of faith for even d medicine to work.

What is the question?

Are You of the opinion that christians shouldnt take medications?

Kay17:


Yes as a demonstration of their faith.

Hmm are u sayin we now Judases for takin medication?
Something tels me that no superior argument I myt propound wl make u change ur position. Let me jst ask u ds qstn evntho hv mentnd it somwia in ma posts. What do U have to say abt d advice given to Timothy by Apostle Paul to take some wine as medication for his tummy troubles? Ur answer wl determine if I pretend I ddnt see ur riposte or we can keep at this discourse.
