God And Medicine: Which Is More Reliable And Why? by pBuhari(f): 11:11am On Jul 05, 2015
many people have been arguing this. Some said that God is more reliable to heal while others said that medicine is faster and dependable.

The question now is God and medicine which of them will you trust most for your healing and why?

You are belittling the power of your god.

Forget medicine then pray.


You will be well.

I don't believe in ancient myth. I don't pray i deal with only drugs. If i get sick, i seek for medi care.

If prayers does the work, why then take medicine. what is the need of the medicine?

@Johnnydon. Am doing just that. Instead of drugs I take communion. Since I discovered what Jesus went through on the cross, I live in total wellness. Its not divine healing, although I have been healed divinely many times in the far past, but now am talking about divine health.
Many people are in church but the gospel is daily news to them. Some of us try to practice what we hear and it works. Don't believe me, I don't care. No any kind of medication, whether its eye drop or ear drop. No paracetamol, nothing.
What you don't know is bigger than you. Am not against medication, but I want to experience the power of God first hand, and am seeing it.

Lemme address these head on....
Medicine and God's intervention are two mutually exclusive phenomenon....
Strictly speaking, diseases and ailments are cured by medical intervention, which could be drugs or other forms of medical therapy....
This is not to say, that God does not play any role...
Its imperative to note, that drugs have a mechanism of action, which is in no way affected by prayers or all that stuff....
Lets not forget, even Luke, a disciple of Jesus, was a Doctor too.... He understood the importance of medicine in curing diseases.... As much as he had to divide time between his medical practice and attending to Jesus....
It would therefore be folly to fall sick and then refuse to take drugs or go to the hospital, simply cuz of belief....
I therefore cannot draw a distinction between Medicine and God, as to which is more i portant in a diseased patient....
Disease requires medical treatment....
Cheers...

I'd take it that you've either not had a serious illness, or the story above is incomplete....
Communion, to treat diseases....?
Ridiculous....

No, if prayer works no need for medicine. . . if medicine works no need for prayers.

Maybe you will let prayers operate on you when its needed. . .

No that's not what it means. U are giving meaning to something that makes no sense hence u will continue running round and round without saying anything.

Good then, since prayer is better, what then is the need for medicine Cus am sure when barca takes the gold medal in a match they no longer need the silver medal because the gold is better.

So since prayers are better why not leave medicine then?

Lolz..
Lemme ask a simple question....
Do you have ANY verifyable and evidence based case of where prayer cured a sick person exclusively...??
My point is this..... Disease is cured by medical intervention, though i must acknowledge that there are limits and these exist due to the state of medical knowledge existing in the world now. There are idiopathic diseases(unknown causes).... Diseases that weren't cured many years ago are now being cured...; hence,medical knowledge improves with time....
I get your point though...

I can't imagine where the brain of these niggaz do travel to whenever god issue emerged. Try them in other things aside god and religiosity, you will have a good feel of their reasoning ability.

If medicine fails go for a medical test to ascertain what exactly is wrong with you
