Killers on their knees

excon · #1 Apr 3, 2008, 07:03 AM

Hello Christians:

An 11-year-old Wisconsin girl grew deathly ill recently while her parents prayed for her recovery. They weren't in a hospital. They weren't in an emergency room. They were in their home. Although the girl had probably, for at least a month, shown symptoms such vomiting, nausea and extreme thirst — all signs of a diabetic condition — they refused to call a doctor.

"We stayed fast in prayer," the mother told the media. "We believed that she would recover."

Instead, the girl died.

Can you show me where in the Bible it says that doctors are evil, a heathen concept, an insult to your faith? Until then, these cases of adults allowing children to suffer — in some cases, die — in the name of true believing is nothing more than killing while on your knees.

A sad, sad story. I saw it.

The actions (lack of action) of those parents is not Christian, period. KKK Members claim to be Christian too.

Neither KKK members nor parents who fail to give proper medical care to their children are not Christians even if they say they are.

It doesn't make sense to me. I've never been able to understand how "Christian" parents could prevent their children from receiving proper medical attention. Innocent children die needlessly. These children should be protected from their parents' religious beliefs until they are of legal age to decide for themselves what THEIR OWN religious beliefs are.

I agree with you excon.

Read my thread I posted about this disturbing news.

These people are idiots
Jesus considered doctors his intructors.

And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.Luke 2-46

However ;in the cases in the bible where physicians are called upon to heal they do not get the job done ;especially in the OT see the story of Job . Also let's not forget that healing in those days was often performed by the clerics .

However that was then and this is now . They were acting criminally negliigent and should be treated as such. </SPAN>

Hello again:

I don't mean to paint all Christians with this broad brush, and I'm glad you're speaking out.

There's an old story that goes something like this: A fisherman is drowning. He prays to God to save him. A boat comes and offers him a rope. "No, God will save me," he says. Another boat comes. "God will save me," he repeats. A third boat. Same thing. Finally, he drowns.

When he gets to heaven, he's upset. He asks God, "Why didn't you save me?" And God says, "I sent you three boats."

Excon,
I love that story, and what a great analogy. No where in the bible does it say doctors are bad or you shouldn't seek medical attention.

God gives doctors the ability to help people.
Prayer is wonderful.
Pray for God to give you the doctor that will be able to help you.
God is doing the healing through prayer and through doctors.

First time I ever heard that. It was great

I feel everything happens for a reason and only God above knows what those reasons are. There are Doctors here for a purpose and if they were not suppost to be used, why are they here. Children look up to their parents for survival and agree with last answer, Pray for the right Dr and it will be answered.
