Reference
We take this opportunity to leave a teaching about medicine in the Bible!
Some ask:
Is there a teaching in the Bible that affirms that it is a sin to resort to medicine to cure diseases?
Would the use of medical science be an indication of lack of faith? These are constant dilemmas in the Christian milieu, some religions prohibit their community from resorting to medical procedures such as: blood transfusion, transplants, etc.
I know that the subject is a good point to discuss, but we just want this post to be a support to help people looking for biblical references for the use of medicine:
The first reference is in the book of Genesis when God makes a cut in the rib of Adam in order to originate Eve.
In this surgical operation of God, the social role of men and women is present, but also, and splendidly, the role of medicine in the origin of all human beings; chemistry, biology, genetics and others.
Genesis tells us that God created Eve using material removed from Adam's side. (Genesis 2: 21-22) The Hebrew word for what was taken from Adam tsela = rib
The components needed to make Eve were already in the cells of Adam, that is, human chromosomes, which carry the genetic material for the human body. All humans have 46 chromosomes, but sex is determined by only two of them - called X and Y. The males have an X and a Y. The females have two X's.
To make the female cells of male cells, God had all the different types of chromosomes he needed. He took out the "Y" and doubled the "X", but He did not have to invent any new chromosome.
Adam and Eve were, unique and separate creations, products of a God who knew how to coherently manipulate the scientific data he had in his hands.
Health practices and personal hygiene in favor of health
"When there is someone among you who, by some nocturnal accident, is not clean, he will go out of the camp, he will not enter it, so that, declining the afternoon, he will wash himself in water, and, Sun, you will enter the middle of the camp. You will also have a place outside the camp, where you will go out, and among your weapons you will have a shovel, and when you are seated, you will dig with it and, turning around, you will cover what you have defrauded. "
Deuteronomy 23: 10-13
To burn dead animals, to wash the spoils of war with running water and / or to sterilize with fire were measures also dictated by God so that Israel would have prolonged days of life, with health.
Currently, countries that do not have basic sanitation policies have higher rates of illness and death, due to the proliferation of germs that cause many diseases. God taught about insulating clothes and belongings from lepers.
It is proven that leprosy was highly contagious and that its bacteria could survive up to three weeks outside the body.
Circumcision on the 8th day
God instituted the circumcision of children born in Israel from the eighth day of life (Genesis 17:12).
News from a Health magazine!
Medical researchers discovered that the two main blood coagulation factors, vitamin K and prothrombin, reach their highest level in life, about 110% of normal, on day 8 after birth. These blood coagulation agents facilitate rapid healing and reduce the chances of infection. Currently, any circumcision procedure before the 8th day will require injections of vitamin K to heal without problems.
What took years in research to be discovered, was already written by the Physician of doctors in the pages of the Holy Bible
In the New Testament
Jesus Christ said: "Those who are well do not need a doctor, but those who are sick" (Luke 5:31). It was a clear reference to the healing of the spirit, being He, Jesus, the cure of those sick.
Do not forget that Luke narrates events in the life of Jesus, he was a doctor and at no time in the Bible is it said that he stopped practicing medicine because of faith. In Colossians 4:14 Paul refers to Luke as the "beloved physician."
Jesus, in the exercise of his ministry, found many sick people, multitudes who were suffering from the ineffectiveness of the medicine of that time. Jesus came bringing healing and teaching that several factors could motivate the disease of the body, spirituality was one of those causes. However, we should not consider every disease as the fruit of sin, curse. The diseases were also consequences of lack of health care, accidents and others.
We can conclude that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have all the power to cure any disease that is. We must always turn to Him to win the simplest to the most terrible diagnosis. Throughout the biblical context, we can conclude that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have all the power to cure any disease that is. We must always turn to Him to overcome from the softest to the most terrible diagnosis. A life of constant prayer and adoration will give us assurance that God is in control of what happens to us. And if God created faith and medicine, we are not condemned to suffer from diseases that medicine can help heal. However, and above all things, our trust should not be in men, but in God.
James 5: 14-16
"Is anyone among you sick, call the priests of the church, and pray over him, anointing with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him, and if he has committed sins, you will be forgiven, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that they may go out.
