Physical Healing

Dear Gentlemen,I am writing to find out if there is anything in the Bible about doctors. I do not know that much about the Bible. I do know that Jesus healed people; in fact, one woman went to Jesus and touched his robe and she was healed. I have also heard from a salesperson that was selling aloe, that aloe is mentioned in the Bible. I am praying that you might be able to answer my question about doctors. My question is this: my wife said that she thinks there is something in the Bible that says doctors cannot heal. Thirty years ago, I dated a young lady who also said that she didn’t go to doctors. She had good health. In fact, she told me that there were people who could cure you by touching you. I told her that these television programs show special things for their ratings. I want to know if you can trust doctors to heal me. I have cancer, plus I recently found out that I have glaucoma.I do know for a fact, that the Church of Scientology and Christian Scientists do not go to doctors. I heard or read that a couple who were Christian Scientists, did not take their child to the doctor and the child died. The state was going to prosecute them. Then the state had to back off because it was against their religion to go to doctors. -R. Rager, MD


Arno's Answer:



Here are a few Scriptures speaking about medical doctors: Matthew 9:12; Mark 5:26; Luke 4:23; Colossians 4:14. We read in the Old Testament about physicians; for example, Genesis 50:2 or 2 Chronicles 16:12, which shows that Asa should have consulted the Lord and not physicians.

What does it mean for us today? The summary is Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” So it matters not whether you go to a physician or whether you trust the Lord; death is 100% certain.

Regarding aloe or any other non-medically approved methods, it seems to help some but not others.

I trust the Lord for my life, and when my time comes, He will take me home. In the meantime, if I have an ailment, I present it to the Lord and then go to a doctor.
