Paradox?

This relates to another thread regarding a young girl who died becasue her parents, instead of accepting medical help, chose to pray for her healing. Unfortunatley the Girl died and the parents are now on Manslaugter charges.

So My Paradox is:

If Everyone who dies, man, woman or child dies because of Gods will.

Why were we allowed the ability to heal people?

Essentially the society we live in today has advanced to the stage where we can cure most diseases, cancers, broken limbs and pretty much most other general medical conditions.

So God created us in his image, gave us intelligence and sent us on our merry way. We have in last 100 years really begun to undestand the human body and how to 'fix' it. Why would we be given this knowledge if we were not allowed to use it to 'help' people?

There for me is the paradox. Someone is given cancer by God (Gods will) Yet with the knowledge God has given us, we are able to cure the individual.

So two things here:

Is God now Fallable because we can now cure the impending death he has given to an individual.

Is the Surgen now condemed to Hell because, although he is doing gods work (helping people) he has gone against Gods will by not allowing an intended death to happen.

Does this make sense?

:rollinglaugh: You forget that all people die,

mostly under the care of doctors.

So bringing up one person who chose to pray instead of taking his daughter to the doctor (where she could have died under his care anyway) is absurd. :rolleyes:

This simply isn't true. The number of people who die each day far exceeds the number of doctors by tenfold. In third world nations where death rates are highest there are little to no doctors.

This is not the point I am trying to make.

Read the question again.



If everything is Gods will. And we have learn't how to heal (help) people, why would God not want us to use this knowledge?

Do you even think?:eek: The number of people who die in hospitals under the care of a doctor far exceeds the number of people who die at home.
