Dear friends in recovery,
Here is something a pastor recently shared with me:
What does the Bible say about cancer?
"However, cancer—like all disease—is a result of the curse of sin upon the world.
In Genesis 3:17 we read, “Cursed is the ground for thy sake.” The word translated “ground” is better translated “earth.”
The earth has been cursed because of sin and all men die—we all return to dust—and the method of death may be from disease that is a natural outcome of the curse upon the earth.
Diseases are not “punishment.”
They are a result of living in a fallen world and upon a cursed earth,
and believers and unbelievers alike develop cancer and other diseases that lead to death.
We need to remember that, in the life of the believer, God “works all things together for good” (Romans 8:28)—and “all things” includes cancer"----
or mental illness, right?!
I personally found this article helpful in that using scripture, I can see that all diseases, including brain illness, is due to the ground being cursed.
