What’reyatalkin’about??

The Bible nowhere denounces medical doctors; the Gospel of Luke was written by one, fer cryin’ out loud!

The woman in the biblical account you cited had a problem with some sort of internal hemorrhaging that was beyond the technological ability of the doctors of her day.

In NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM does that simple fact amount to a blanket, biblical condemnation of the practice of medicine, nor does it stand as an injunction to people of faith seeking the best in modern medical help.

You make yourself sound like a rabid Jehovah’s Witness spewing all that venomous tripe against modern medical technology. Cut it out; for your own sake if not for anybody else’s.

Luke becamne a real healer when he found the Lord.

Yes, doctors are roundly denounced throught the Bible. The clearest is in Jeremiah Ch 17, where it is made plain that seeking healing through the ways of man is failure.

Also look at the chronicle of King Asa, where it clearly says that he turned away from the way of God to seek healing from men.

Or the woman with the issue of blood that touched Christ’s garment; it says that she wasted all she had on doctors.

There is nothing good said about man’s medicine in the Bible.

.
Take your own advice, you’re leading people away from the healing the Lord gave us. His Levitical priests were all effective healers, far beyond anything “modern” medicine can imagine, using the herbs God provided.
