Faith Healing
When GOD has created from drop of water and kept us grow in the dark for a period of nine to 10 months by forming flesh, bones, eyes, ear, heart and all the Organs and deliver as Full blown baby.
Once delivered and at one cry milk ooze from from mother and baby is taught by GOD how to drink and swallow. Who teaches the new born baby about drinking still the babies eyes are closed.
Do not we think it as MIRACLE from GOD. He is showing us daily. The Day & Night comes and goes. The wind too changes its direction like day and night.
How makes us to sleep and 8 to 10 Hrs just goes by wink of eye. And beautiful dream when our eyes are closed. Who demonstrate all these things.
So when we get sick why are we running here and there. Do GOD will not cure us.
The Creator who created from drop of water will not cure us?. Are we doubtful about our creator?.
It isn't the question if God can heal us. Yes, indeed. He always can. But are we worthy of it? Now that's another question :)
Molten Metal, In this one I totally agree with you.
Very nice lesson .... as you said ''...if they just
believed more, their problems would go away.''
This is reverse journey towards Him, when we/body follows right path, soul gets upper or higher status, body also becomes honourable, most people respect a comparatively religious person.
Consider, Forefathers as the previous souls,, not bodily forefathers which were born here & died here.
So soul on continuous journey takes/leaves [ birth / death ] any suitable body & carry on untill that 'soul' becomes so pure or matching to God and then becomes a better part of God and may rest, but again God never rests, and for that matter nothing is at rest !! Interesting !!
So many souls [ or say one God ] at work in this universe !!
You are very much correct, when you accept that God is beyound we humans' thinking.
We are not even witness to our own birth ??? So how can we say even one word about Him !!!
There is no hope for some people
In some faiths :
This birth & death is a continuous process,
body is given to us here from father & mother so it is not the body who suffers from pain / disease, it is 'somehting else', this 'something else' is from out of our world , so you can't name It correctly, but for the purpose of discussion just say it is 'soul', this soul is immortal, but it's vehicle is our bodies, so this soul is further a reflection / or part of God, but again, this God name is given by us, any one can give God or soul or humans a name as per ones choice, because before we give name to anything it is unnamed, so in some faiths God is also refered to as 'who has no name'.
So, when there is no soul we/body don't suffer any pain.
In case of children : It is soul who is on journey on the new vehicle / or body of that child, yes , child's body did not do anything wrong [ child got new body from the parents ] and child's body is not suffering as stated before.
Summary : God, soul, humans in descending order.
Molten Metal Do you mean those innocent new born babies inherited the wrong doings of their forefathers? Just because their father or grand grand fathers did not follow the right path GOD gave them their miseries and illness. One thing is for sure our nano dot like size brain cannot fathom what is going on here in our planet called earth. If we have all the clear answers to our questions do you think we will have different notions on every matter here on earth?
Next time I an at Shafallah I will be sure to remind those children born with defects that if they just believed more, their problems would go away.
So children suffer immense pain through no fault of their own. That is not a just, fair or merciful system
1 : Ill health is caused by our own actions because we or our forefathers did not remain on straight path under His directions.
2 : God is kind , He gave that skill to the doctors to releive our pains, so indirectly He is curing our ills which was a punishment [ a chance to learn a lesson ] from Him.
Does god cure those born with spina bifada? Does he cure those born with cerebral palsy? Why did he makes those poor babies be born with such defects and death in the first place?
MM, I think the OP is on a different wavelength than yours ;)
If your Doctor is also created from drop of water , you can see him, flexi....
We use the means and have faith that its only God Who cures through it, the means by itself is nothing. Am I right? :)
When you are sick you should wait for the creator to cure you instead of seeing a doctor? What exactly do you want to say?
God will cure us.
We as creatures have no doubt on our creator.
