Is God Life and health? What happens when medical concepts don't work?

So "unbelief" is to Jesus, as kryptonite is to Supeman.
Which color?

If I remember correctly:

Green kills Superman slowly.
Red robs him of his powers for 24 hours (or 48, I can't remember which).
Gold takes his powers away permanently.

What do you think it is.

All the people with unbelief verify the lack of life, the lack of miracles, the lack of love, the lack of peace, the lack of joy, the lack of everything good and true. They often brag about all that , strange and odd as it seems.

LOL.

Another loving Christian, who needs to convince themselves, anyone who doesn't believe as they do, has a lack of love, peace, joy, etc. etc..

Quite sad really. Maybe, work on the log in your own eye a bit.

It seemingly has some meaning for you.
Yes, perhaps like this: If you knew you only had 3 days to live, and you were bleeding from the eyes and ears , nose and mouth, and in quite a bit of pain and discomfort,
would not that have some meaning for you ?

Would you not long for relief, maybe any relief ?

Would you not be FURIOUSLY MAD, RIGHTEOUSLY ANGER WITH GREAT INDIGNATION if a human was responsible !? (and your suffering was thus meaningless)

This happens frequently.

(I don't know how often, but can check if you care to know a rough figure)

" Is God Life and health? What happens when medical concepts don't work? "

What happens:
one horrendous long time example:

Deaths. Approximately every 9 minutes, someone in the US dies from a blood cancer. This statistic represents approximately 160 people each day or more than six people every hour. Leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma are expected to cause the deaths of an estimated 58,300 people in the US in 2017. From : "Facts and Statistics | Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

Not really. We nonbelievers just know superstition, myths, fairy tales, and wishful thinking when we see them.

And if belief was relevant in any way, we'd see believers suffering and dying less often than non-believers. But we don't. QED.

The blind man ... blind since birth ... would have looked around when he was healed; not just at the evangelist.
If he was blind since birth it would take him so time to learn to interpret the signals his eyes are sending to his brain.

Right.
(noting what group you are in)

In some groups, there is no fear.
No worry. Little disease if any.

This is what to seek, if this is what you want.

If not, whatever.
