I'll use pro-abortion logic here...

What business of yours is if someone chooses to faith heal their kid?

When life begins is subjective anyways so don't impose your beliefs on others!

If any man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father or his mother, and when they chastise him, he will not even listen to them, then his father and mother shall seize him, and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gateway of his home town. And they shall say to the elders of his city, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey us, he is a glutton and a drunkard.” Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death; so you shall remove the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear of it and fear.

Or, we could have some (those who go by dbackjon) people's, "heroes" just fvck those kids in the azz.

Why let a little child molestation get in the way of worshiping a gay role model, right, jon? :ohno:

No. A thousand times, no. You're jumping in too soon.

Faith healing is NOT the intentional neglect of ANYONE. Faith healing is a request that God intervene in the situation. The concept of neglect doesn't come in until those requesting God's move form the opinion that doctors have no business treating illness and injury. The problem is that you're conflating the two ideas.

A proper view of faith healing recognizes that a supernatural healing only ONE option out of many that God has available in directing the healing of a sick or injured person. A proper view ALSO recognizes that God guides the doctor's reason and skills to the correct diagnosis and treatment. Anyone who tries to use "faith" as an argument against medical art and science is unreasonably restricting the God they claim to support. And anyone who tries to whitewash any pro-supernatural view as this substandard view is ALSO wrong.

The point being that God can heal supernaturally AND He can also choose to heal through the knowledge and skill of a trained human doctor. From an orthodox Christian perspective, doctors ARE a valid resource, and should be utilized to the utmost. As a Christian, I know MANY doctors in many medical specialties, and they ALL do their jobs well. The presence of a few isolated quacks out there is NOT sufficient grounds to restrict God's ability to use a doctor who has integrity and skill to do the job to which s/he was called: healing sick and hurt people....

Thank you Super Hornet, for your post ties into mine.

My wife was three years out from her chemo for bone cancer, when they said it had returned to her lungs and she was pretty much a goner.

I asked for prayers on here, eGriz, AGS and all over Facebook. When the thoracic surgeon got out of surgery, he said we were all good and it wasn't cancer.

The doctors at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance are still in disbelief.

God healed my wife, by my expectations. I don't give two shits if it was a mistake, for I only asked that my wife would be cured. She was. So in my opinion, God met my needs.

Faith healing.

Now for those of you who think I am full of shit, please, let it fly. I don't tell this story to shut people up out of courtesy, I tell it because I believe it to be true. You are welcome to criticize me - I authorize it! We are all brothers here, so let me have it pussies! :lol:

The thing is, it is important that we not accept the idea that government has ultimate say over decisions pertaining to the well being of children. We must defend the principle that, when government thinks one thing is best and parents think that some other thing is best, the parents' view rules.

If we don't do that, Pandora's box is open.
