It healed my wife’s back without doctors. It’s an interesting story. I strongly see this as a religious freedom issue.

They can rely on prayer alone for themselves. For children its child neglect.

God gave us doctors.

Since I believe God heals miraculously, I don’t want to insert my “sensibilities” about doctors, God and healing between a parent and their children.

There's no doubt that God can heal miraculously, but sometimes His will may be that you go to a doctor. Relying on prayer alone and refusing to seek competent medical treatment is putting God to the test, something the Bible warns against.

Well I fervently believe in the power of prayer. God oftens answer them. But not always. It is a mystery we cannot fathom.

But I also believe God gave us brains, doctors, life and liberty. Hopefully these people will be charged and do jail time. This is not right. It is not only about the parents. We have two dead children. What about them?

does one’s religious freedom exceed another person’s right to life and liberty?
