Hello again, I have a friend sort of that has scizophrenic, but my question is, why don`t god heal him? I mean, absolutely every scizoprenic has stayed that way their entire life, are they all non-believers since god won`t help them?

No, healing may not be in God's will. I have Cerebral Palsy, which I have had all my life and prayed for healing but none has come because God has His reason and I am able to share my faith and let people know to always have faith in God no matter what. God is not a genie that should heal all, in this life we will always have trouble and heartache.

I think He heals some.
Of his chosing.
Does your friend seek after God?
Attend a Church and ask for prayer?
Read the Word?
Might be good starters?

Can you take your friend to a local Church?
And ask for help?

I heard an interesting preacher who was dealing with the topic psychology, and he said that no one had ever heard of scizophrenia until someone came up the word! Also, there is general disagreement among psychologists and psychiatrists whether it is a real sickness or not!

I've just received a new revelation about it. Here it is: Read and believe the Bible!!!

Some (maybe many) , numbers not available, were healed even before 1950. (when it was called pellagra).

Dave Hunt gives a really good teaching message on Psychology. Check it out on Youtube. Very enlightening!

I think this guy is just trying to draw you into a conversation, and then have a laugh at your expence with his friends. Notice the child like response.
