Bush has long been affiliated with a faith-healing church in Missouri, whose lead pastor told the Washington Free Beacon in 2021 that he cured her of coronavirus through faith healing over the phone.
Bush is currently one of the most embattled “Squad” lawmakers and is locked in a tough primary against Wesley Bell, the prosecuting attorney of St. Louis.

She just as reliable as the rest of the members of the Squad.

“It was there, waiting for me to acknowledge it, to use it. I had the confidence to heal others with God’s power.”

Sounds like something many Christians say. Why do you have an issue with this?

Are we now attacking the faith of a Congresswoman and passing it off as politics? Nice....

Regardless of politics, I do not trust many faith healers. Divine healing can happen, but is quite rare. However, there is a true healing that will happen for all Christians, but just not in our lifetimes, as stated in the three verses below. Cori Bush might want to read these verses as miraculous healing is not necessary for salvation. :) Instead, Jesus and a little patience is necessary, as us Christians will be given new bodies. If a person is aged 50, and the average life expectancy is 80, then, the person will be 30 years from receiving a new heavenly body assuming he/she does not get into a vehicle accident or health complication, then the person will receive a new body much earlier.


The verses:

Romans 8:18-19 (NIV): "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed."

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV): "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Revelation 21:4 (NIV): "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

She professes her faith as Christian. If so, she is a believer in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. She belongs to the Lord and He knows the ultimate truth on this.

In the world secular system she is a liberal; liberalism is a catastrophe. She needs to be voted out of office.

I think part of it is the hypocrisy though (not so much from Cori, herself...I don't recall her taking a highly publicized stance either way during Covid), but among the people who supported her, but spent the bulk of 2020-2022 lambasting anyone who didn't gleefully embrace absolutely everything mainstream medical professionals were saying.

So the "follow the science, if you don't wear a mask, you're the devil" crowd fully in support of someone who clearly holds some unscientific views does come across as a bit of a conflict.

“I don’t think what she’s claiming happened,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi, a professor of medicine at the University of California San Francisco. “Definitely as a physician I would encourage people to seek treatment for cancer and other ailments.”

Hey, once again, a Christian and an atheist agree, even if it is on just the first part. :) Woo, yeah.
Probably, because I thought faith healing was fraudulent when I was a 24-year-old Catholic.

Is she being fully supported though? Or are some people just having a chuckle?

Amen, same here. :) I'd say 99.9% of faith healing is a scam, and is used to draw money or attention to the so-called "healer".

Have you ever seen a faith healer perform weird “surgery”? Those things used to be televised on the UHF channels.

Brazen hucksters, gave tv evangelists a bad name.

James Randi doing a form of one as edutainment on the Tonight Show.

He makes reference to the Phillipines, where 'psychic surgery' became popularized in Christian Spiritualist circles. Comedian Andy Kaufman travelled there for six weeks of 'treatments' a couple months before his death from lung cancer.

looks like hindu new age stuff to me my dear friend . a lot of new age mysticism has found its way
into the charamestic realm . Just a friendly reminder to all . touch not that mindset either .
Healings to occur today . but mark my words
those who do heal folks , dont promote their own faith healing and they sure as heck wouldnt
say or even imply about giving money to recieve any healing either .
Simeone tried that once . Here let me give you some money and you all give me the gift
of laying on hands etc . notice peter didnt say , OKAY SEND ME YOUR DENARI DONATION and prepare for the gift .
HE actually rebuked simeon and BIG TIME TOO . HE said your MONEY perish with you cause you actually
thought it this gift could be purchased with money .
PETER didnt sound a thing like ol benny hinn nor scores of others
WHO ENCOURAGE MONEY FOR HEALINGS OR etc . I heed not a one of them .
Bettter we learn our bible and trust in the GLORIOUS LORD .

Well that’s just sad.
Rather odd indeed that peter
when actually told by simeon TAKE THIS MONEY and give me the gift
actaully REBUKED simeon BIG TIME .
Rather odd that faith healings , prosperity nar and etc SURE SEEM to IMPLY that if one do GIVE
they can prepare to recieve a gift and a blessing . Sounds to me like their love IS MONEY .
Very sad says indeed daisy day . very sad indeed .
You either have folks clutched under men who make merchandise of them for money
or you have the other side which says THE GIFTS no longer exist .
Tough to find the rightly divided word in most places these days . But we sure can find
a moutain of TRUTH in that bible my dear sister . SO , yeah i always encourage folks to read it big time
for themselves .

me thinks peter would agree with YA BIG TIME .
cause when peter himself was offered quite a sum of money from simeon
so that simeon could recieve the gift
Peter had this to say , YA money PERISH WITH YOU
you thought the gift could be purchased with money , you got no part or lott in this matter
YOUR HEART IS NOT RIGHT in the SIGHT OF GOD . NOW REPENT OF THIS YOUR WICKENDESS .
Yet the faith healers , the big time shows , THEY DO AS THEY DO FOR MONEY
and promise the people a better chance for healings if the dollars are thrown into the pot .
And worse so many sit under these people , cause they ENVY them , their monies , so called power ,
so called big houses and lifestyles . the love of money is all over them .

Then we have the other side which preaches cessationism and etc .
NO, all the gifts are still here .
The reason we dont see many healings
is two fold . unbelief
and also , those who truly do have the gift and know GOD and follow CHRIST
THEY AINT DOING what they DO FOR THE EYES OF MEN OR MONEY . so its pretty much done in secrete .
THEY DO not desire the praise and worship of men . Just a friendly reminder to all .
