dingo,
Well. . .that is quite a list you have compiled. . .I can totally understand how foolish it all looks. I really don't know what to say. . .and even if I did I don't know that it would be sufficient for you anyway.
I'm not claiming perfection for me or anyone else. I know that I personally have struggled with many of the arguments you bring up. I still go to a doctor. I continue to take medication she says I need. I wear glasses. What can I say but . . .I'm not perfect.
I believe that God has given man his knowledge and ability in the area of medicine. I do not believe that going to a doctor is sin and while it may disagree with what some teach it does not disagree with what I teach nor with what I believe.
I believe, as Didaskalos said, "God is good and His mercy endures forever". So. . .even if my circumstances don't match what I believe the Word to say. . .it does not matter. . .God is True to His Word and I have Hope, that whatever happens, He is Faithful.
It's been an interesting time talking with you. You may not have much respect for me and the seemingly contradictive beliefs but that's OK. . I'll get over it
Anyway, I just want to let you know that I have appreciated your input.
Bye for now,
Quaffer
