Modern medicine is an illusion. It’s vanity. It has caused more severe infirmities to manifest.

The truth is this:

Proverbs 3:1-2
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
...For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
My mother in law has been using blood pressure meds over 40 years to stay alive.(she is 87)

Should she quit?

Deuteronomy 7:12-15
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the... LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

James 5:14-15
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

So do you never take any medication?

No prescription drugs.

I had some issues involving my heart years ago, but I resisted and avoided all the directions of the doctors who wanted to put me on medication and to come under the “care” of specialists.

Its been nearly 10 years now since I had a heart episode (thank God).

I have frequent bouts with sinus issues, but I take over the counter stuff only in rare occasions when it’s severe and unbearable.

Otherwise, I do this which helps immensely:

1 Timothy 5:23
...use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

It’s best to go through sicknesses and ailments having complete faith in God. Nothing happens by chance. You will not live if it’s your time to die, and you will die if it’s your time to live.

2 Corinthians 12:10
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Philippians 2:27
For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

Not everyone has that degree of faith.

Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them... If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

As soon as I have completed my Vaccinations I was thinking about having an immunity party...
Antivaxer and coronavirus deniers uninvited.
But recovered coronavirus cases are welcome... gonna be a great blowout with pin the tail on the Anti-vac people and a pinata shaped like a coronavirus denyer.

The vaccine may not stop you catching the virus but it will lessen the symptoms if you do and may save your life. You should still obey the restrictions.

Would really like to know where that number came from and what it actually means.
Me too! With all the fake statistics about COVID, I wouldn’t trust that statistic. How can they possibly know this about a NEW virus??

Uh, I don’t understand. If you stated this somewhere else, would you mind repeating it? I’m not reading this whole thread to find out. On the other hand, if you’d rather not say, that’s fine. But I prefer plain English. :)

MAYBE! Sometimes these meds do more harm than good in the long run. But this is not the issue. You’re comparing meds that have been around for decades to a new untried type of “vaccine.” Not a fair comparison.

I doubt she will try that, but she does believe in that first.

Amen same with my wife who needs insulin and thyroid pills to stay alive. Also she is 10 years cancer free from surgery, chemo and radiation.
Praise God for modern medicine. It does not always work, but it helps alot. It is a great time to be alive because of it too. The civil war surgeries musta hurt!

You are right and wrong at the same time.
