Good question really. We should have enough faith to believe for the supernatural as well as to believe f God is not required to do the supernatural and can use the natural (as Isaiah and Paul once recommended), and can use doctors as well as mechanics. However, this is a 1st amendment issue, and in which there are both guarantees and limitations of freedom.
Spanking is to be allowed, but not abuse, and in the case of a child being hit by a car and critically injured, refusal to allow normal treatment by medical professionals would be wrong as a norm, as i think faith needs to be exercised before medical professionals arrive, and if need remains, then we need to have enough faith that they will help the child.
Personally, I don’t consider it a Constitutional issue; I consider it a 10 Commandments issue, namely “Thou shalt not kill.”
These parents are quilty of neglect and reckless endangerment. If they didn’t have the sense to know their child was seriously ill, they should be institutionalized. If they did, they should be in prison.
Three children died. If the Constitution can be invoked to excuse this, then I’m for gutting it.
