Can god heal the sick?

So you know how to use a dictionary. I'm impressed. Keep looking. Nice wordplay. But you may not realise that what you ask is more to the point than you think. Taking God out of the equation is among the effects of doing science. And one of the pillars of the scientific method is, indeed, doubt/uncertainty. So your deliberate misinterpretation of the word 'expression' has unwittingly led you to produce a rather sensible thought. Pssst... I'll let you in on a secret of rhetoric: don't overextend your metaphors. I did just that, and look what happened to your poor circuitry.
Now will you please stop moaning about those equations? "An Investigation of the Laws of Thought: On Which Are Founded The Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities", by George Boole. Since you seem to prefer old books, that's the one I'd start with.Did you hear about the dyslexic Satanist? He sold his soul to Santa.

Why would a god "heal" so many people who attend a freaky revival, but god kills this good minister with Lou Gehrigs disease?
______________________________________________________________________Why even bother asking this phony question ?You have already answered it - there is no such Person as God and no such thing as Divine healing. You made your point, now go on and get lost.Has it ever crossed your mind that God doesn't give a shit about you ?It is apparent to me.

Has it ever crossed your mind that if God's going to be a petty little pissant, he's not worth bothering with?Why do you even bother worshipping a God that acts like such an asshole?

...because he has a good marketing and PR division and people are so gullibleMy God has a sense of humour so he acts like an asshole just to piss guys like you off...

I'm sure that's what Job thought, too - "Ha ha! Killing my entire family, reducing me to ruin, and inflicting horrible diseases on my person! Really got me that time, huh? Good one, God!"

Ya Crash kinda reminds me of that scene in "Trading Places"
where the 2 Duke brothers bet 1 dollar and totally ruin Eddie Murphy and Dan Akyroid's lives.
God : "I bet he wont curse me." Devil: "I bet he will if ya rain down some agony on him." Thats some message.

______________________________________________________________________What action are you referring to ?

Job is generally regarded as a fictional character......google >> book of job fictional <<It's funny for someone who doesn't believe in God to believe in a fictional character who God interacted with...BTW...If God didn't have a sense of humour you wouldn't have a clown for a president and through all the suffering happening to us (the human race) in the present it will make us stronger and wiser in the futurethe lessons are for the living...

The actions you ascribed to him - you know, not giving a shit about certain people out of spite.

That would be pretty funny, except I don't believe that.

Are you a bible believing christian, WT? If so, would you please offer up a few verses that backs this up? I thought that (as it is says in John 3:16) God loved the World so much that according to the christian faith, he died for us.Does that sound like someone that "doesn't give a shit" about you?

Your entire post ASSUMES that God loves everyone.John 3:16 reveals that God paid the price for the sins of the whole world (everyone in it) in order to get the treasure out of it. That treasure is the focus of faith from those who respond to His redemption.In other words, the capacity to love everyone is there, but God does not love everyone, the individual must respond to God's love via "believing in Him". Other passages in scripture reveal that the desire to want to come to God/Christ can only originate from God, therefore if a person truly has no desire for God then the reason is because God is not drawing them.Hebrews says "Jacob I loved and Esau I hated".It means what it says - like it or not.People whom God has rejected for their premeditated rejection of Him all have a common denominator: They simply don't care about God or what He thinks of them.Desire for God, no matter how miniscule means God still wants you.The erroneous traditional belief of mainstream christianity is that a person can decide/pull the trigger with God whenever they want. The risk is that God may not want you......"whosoever wills may come".....
....your "willer" won't will - it is controlled by God.Whats the point ?Don't trifle with God. He may give up on you - His love is not a doormat.What I said to this troll Atos was to call his/her loaded question about healing for what it was - phony. People like Atos THINK they have rejected a God that is sweating their attention. Quite the contrary, God will court a person and give them chance after chance, but the risk of rejecting God one too many times is that He will cease hounding you. Atos question was a statement revealing his/her spiritual state - the state of an Esau or Saul - both of whom God gave up on.
