A Christian with corona virus

[.Mikha'el.]

What does being a Christian have to do with anything?

 

[Isilwen]

The Lord doesn't heal everything.

This is very much true!

I put a steak knife into my hand over a decade ago and cut the flexor tendon to my middle finger. I didn't have insurance and so could not get it repaired. I was prayed over and for and had oil anoint it, but still wasn't healed. I ended up going to vocational rehab where two surgeries were performed to fix the finger. It was too late apparently, as the surgeries failed.

To this day my middle finger will not bend unless I use another finger to bend it. It hasn't been easy keeping it out of the way, but thankfully, nothing really bad has happened to it and I am still able to be an EMT.

God chooses whom He will heal.

No, the devil is not behind all things. Nature is nature, God set it up man fell it is what it is.

I think different. The devil is behind the coronavirus.

I feel god didn't take care of them in that specific aspect. Why a Christian could get coronavirus? I wonder why. I would feel bad or sad.

Christians aren't immune from death. We are subject to the punishment for sin despite our salvation. We will all die some day. It could be a heart attack, cancer, Chinese Coronavirus or something else. The notion that we should be immune has no basis in scripture.

As others said you think wrongly. But be as you will

 

[lambofgod43985889]

Umm, no. There is nothing shameful about getting sick. I have asthma. Have yet to get Covid-19. I have had the flu in the past, as well as a cold and allergies.

Are these all shameful things?

For me to fell ill in bed, it is a fallen state. The others can feel pity

 

[Isilwen]

For me to fell ill in bed, it is a fallen state. The others can feel pity

We are all already in a fallen state while walking on this Earth.

 

[lambofgod43985889]

Your thinking is not right my friend.

God is all loving and merciful. He cares about all of His creation.

If we get ill, have cancer etc, it's not God's doing. No. It is 'nature', 'luck of the draw', 'genetic' etc.

For me, i offer up to God any suffering that comes my way. Asking Him to use it to benefit others. Did not Jesus suffer? Aren't we told to pick up our cross and follow Jesus?

Give thanks to God. Daily. Dont let the devil try and pull you away from God with false truths.

God bless you

God said he takes care of every hair of our head. Jesus was never ill.

What does being a Christian have to do with anything?

We are God's people.

I like the Apostle John's death

 

[lambofgod43985889]

As others said you think wrongly. But be as you will

That's my faith.

 

[Taodeching]

God said he takes care of every hair of our head. Jesus was never ill.

Jesus is God, we are not. Illness of all kinds are part of life, neither bad nor good

 

[lambofgod43985889]

Jesus is God; we are not. Illness of all kinds are part of life, neither bad nor good

Are part of life because the devil exists

 

[FutureAndAHope]

What that means, I feel it's a shame.

When the virus came out God clearly gave me Psalm 91, which speaks of protection in the time of pestilence. However God's protection can take many forms, it may not always be the absence of the virus, for some it will be healing from it.

One Christian lady comes to mind, she was an older lady in a nursing home, and a strong Christian, everyone in the home got the virus, but she survived it, she says by the prayers of her family, and her faith in God.

As Christians our first thought should be, God will protect me, but if we were to get the virus, our next thought should be God will heal me, and take me out the other side of this. If finally, we were to perish, God will take me home to be with Him.

Psa 91:1-7 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.

 

[Taodeching]

Are part of life because the devil exists

Not necessarily. God created everything, everything even viruses. Even though Lucifer is fallen and ponders evil day and night without him man would still do things as they have done with viruses and biological warfare. Man by himself is evil even without Satan

OUCH! You are one strong person to endure that!

Job suffered at the devil's hand through no fault of Job's. Remember that.

God said he takes care of every hair of our head. Jesus was never ill.

The Bible says He counts every hair on our head. Meaning, He knows us intimately. It doesn't say anywhere that Christians should never expect to suffer.

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

"You will have trouble." This was spoken to believers, not the unsaved.

This!
