God provided us with doctors to assist us in our health care, just as  plumbers assist us with plumbing issues.  God knows we can't all do everything and prayers are often answered in the form of help from others.

We blame God for all the problems in the world; we denounce God for all the misfortunes a person has to endure; but do we praise God for the blessings that we receive?\n\nIt seems to me you are blessed with 'normal faculties' - being able to think, talk and walk. You of all person should show the disabled girl the joy of knowing God's goodness... because it is no accident that you came to know of this person.\n\nYou, of all persons in her life, should lead her to the only happiness that matters... that only God can give. NOW my friend... when even her own parents 'hate' her, you of all people are the one to lead her to God.\n\nWhat have you got to loose? Who has she to depend on?

Just remember, if people with disabilities do not have equal rights, in this case, a parking issue, then it is discrimination. If there is no parking for handicapped people, then the church is in violation of the law. \n\nA question of street parking deals with the local town/city offices. Ask them for more information. A simple phone call should do.

The bible says for a healing to call upon the elders, meaning those who are mature in Gods Word,..have them anoint you with the oil which represents Christ and the truth of His written WORD,..and for the elders to pray for you.  That's a healing.  You can also use the oil to cleanse your home by In the Name of Jesus ordering all evil out, taking the oil and touching your "door post" and asking God to bless your home and keep all evil out.  The olive oil doesn't do the healing.  It's ones belief in God The Father and obedience to Him through ones belief in The Lord Jesus Christ.

My wife works with people with disabilties funded partly by the state. \n\nSurprisingly, these people are given excellent care. But i do see your point. \n\nI guess some of the human race forgot what compassion meant, unfortunately.

because that's what the holy spirit does \nhe's a comforter to us on earth. helps us get through the pain and through the problems. \nAnd he's JESUS he can do what he want in my book, cuz he has the power to do it.

I didn't until He started doing amazing things in my life.  I realized that I should have been dead or incarcerated so many times but that he had a purpose for my life that did not include jail and death.  I turned my life over to God and have been clean & sober for 6 months delivered from addiction not just alcohol and drugs but the demons that caused it.  I belong to a strong charismatic pentecostal church and you can't be baptized in the Holy Spirit and speak in tongue, be healed, be annointed and so full that people who lay hands on you have to let go because the annointing is so strong that it drains them of their energy and makes them weak.  Do I believe in God.  Oh yes, he has not only restored me but my children as well.  I have seen him work miracle upon miracle in my life.  I watched my 11 year old daughter at a revival begin to speak in tongue and praise the Lord in less than a minute after having hands laid on her.  I seen her sit in a trance for 30 minutes in tongue and did not remember half of it.  This child is shy and this was totally out of character for her. I watched her frowns and tears be wiped away by God and that child is happy again.  After years of verbal, mental and emotional abuse from her stepdad she was in a shell.  She was angry all the time and sad . She would cry at the drop of a hat.  She is healed.  My 14 year old son is in the process of healing it is taking longer but through faith I believe that by His stripes We are Healed and my son will be healed as well. I have seen a marriage that ended in divorce 15 years ago restored in Jesus name.  I can do anything through Christ who strenghthens me. Praise God.  Thank You Lord. Yes I believe. Do You?

Sounds like a pastor you should run from. I constantly am sitting down with my disciples and going over personal problems. I would never refer them to a psychiatrist or recommend drugs. A man of God is to help and guide his flock, not send them elsewhere or dope them up. God is the answer to our problems not the ways of man. This is just one of the many reasons that true Christians should not be a part of organized denominationalized religion.

I understand they are Christian. They do a good work to help others.

Religious leaders will breathe a sigh of relief at the news that so-called intercessory prayer is medically ineffective. In a large and much touted scientific study, one group of patients was told that strangers would pray for them, a second group was told strangers might or might not pray for them, and a third group was not prayed for at all. The $2.4 million study found that the strangers' prayers did not help patients' recovery. \nThis is a remarkable example of "positive spin" -- religious leaders are "breathing a sigh of relief" because prayer has been shown to be meaningless. The fact that prayer is a total waste of time does not matter to them. It does not matter that all of Jesus' promises about prayer in the Bible have been proven completely false.

They could be hurting deep down inside and are seeking God because they need Him.

interesting how that works huh. christians think its god healing them, they have know knowledge of the human body and how anti-bodies work, what makes us well. they use medicine and still claim god did all the work... last i recalled medicine was made by man. ud think if it WAS god, they wouldnt need to go to the doctors or the hospitals. when diagnosed with cancer their god should be able to heal it without chemotherapy?

I'm with ya. It's RARE, but ever once in a while there is a "faith healing" of a real illness. Credit should go to the body's almost miraculous ability to heal itself, not God's intervention. Ironic don't you think, that for every "success" of faith healing, there are thousands of failures. These are usually blamed on the sufferer's lack of faith.......

I used to work at a convalescence home, and part of my job was to clean up the people after they passed. They would continue to rid their bladder and bowels (if you know what I mean) for a while, then rigamortis(don't know how to spell it) sets in (when their body stiffens). I had to tie their mouths shut and cross their arms for the morgue. You could tell instantly that their spirit and soul left them. Defiantly an erie experience. I also believe that their spirit goes to an in-between place until God takes us all to heaven(or hell). So I think they look down on their loved ones like guardian angels.

I think it is because they see them as a stand-in for God.  They want so hard to believe in anything beyond themselves and yet they can't see God as anything beyond human like themselves.  \n\nI also think the pastors that allow this to happen may have a God complex and relish the power over the people.
