Trials For Parents Who Chose Faith Over Medicine

This is from the tl;dr part of Brady's post:

Quote:

The Neumanns, who had operated a coffee shop, Monkey Mo’s, in this middle-class suburb in the North Woods, are known locally as followers of an online faith outreach group called Unleavened Bread Ministries, run by a preacher, David Eells. The site shares stories of faith healing and talks about the end of the world.

An essay on the site signed Pastor Bob states that the Bible calls for healing by faith alone. “Jesus never sent anyone to a doctor or a hospital,” the essay says. “Jesus offered healing by one means only! Healing was by faith.”

Now, if I remember correctly, Jesus was the Son of God, right? So, he had certain abilities, right? Not to mention a smaller population.

Well, I don't think God has any other offspring, so why wouldn't it stand to reason that God would give man (who is created in God's image) the ability to learn to heal in the absence of Jesus? It's not as direct as Jesus' method--but it still works.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's my point, Tritoch, but I guess mt previous post was a little unclear. Let's see if I can clear it up.

1) The Neumann's follow a religion that advocates faith healing because Jesus healed by faith.
2) Jesus was the actual Son of God, so he had certain abilities normal man didn't.
3) Jesus--depending on your beliefs--does or doesn't still walk among us--but he can't be everywhere.
4) God didn't have any other children.
5) God made it possible for normal man to learn how to heal.

Bottom line: the Neumann's should have realized that the doctor was put on this earth by God.

The sooner people realise this the better.

Looks like ExoXile found the supreme fallacy in the argument, Ness.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Awww, Ceph, I was having fun....
