WHY IS IT WRONG TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION?

[RamboPreacher]

as was mentioned, I think by Dolfan; what difference does it make? I believe that it was ultimately God. the doctor deserved thanks for application of knowledge, but praise goes to God for providing that understanding in the first place - in order to allow the genetic predisposition of my body do it's best to recover - more praise to God for creating humankind to be able to do that in the first place, even though not like it really should, had His creation not fallen in the first place.

i agree it all ultimately gos to God. but the difference is kind of like someone worshiping the pastor instead of God. you would'nt say something like "my pastor gave me eternal life because he is the one led me to salvation!"

and no i dont think you were saying that......but imo that is the difference in saying "the medicine healed me" or "the doctor healed me". God healed you because he is the one who made you. whether that be physical, emotional, or spiritual healing.......

nope, wasn't saying that . not even sure where that kind of logic comes from. Yes, God healed me. (but in your example, I would thank my pastor if he did lead me to salvation).

From O Brother Where Art Thou? (THE definitive movie on all things theological ):

Delmar: Well that's it, boys. I've been redeemed. The preacher's done warshed away all my sins and transgressions. It's the straight and narrow from here on out, and heaven everlasting's my reward.

Ulysses: Delmar, what are you talking about? We've got bigger fish to fry.

Delmar: The preacher says all my sins is warshed away, including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo.

Ulysses: I thought you said you was innocent of those charges?

Delmar: Well I was lyin'. And the preacher says that that sin's been warshed away too. Neither God nor man's got nothin' on me now. C'mon in boys, the water is fine.

Now, there you have it.

I love that part of the movie, by far my favorite scene!
