I agree. Someone posted a portion of that website here, but it was ignored.

All kinds of freaky people up there....LOL!

We know those people personally. My dad stops at their coffee shop in Weston at least once a week, or has before this happened.

In subsequent news stories, Dale has made the comment that if another of their children got sick, they would do the exact same thing!
(One reason their kids were taken away temporarily.)

BTW, my son won't even take medication when he is sick, because he trusts God completely and I didn't even teach him that. He found it in the Bible and he showed me some things that the Bible has about it.

I'd like to ask , do you visited the dentist or do you ignore toothaches ???

Another thing, maybe your child is fearful of seeing a doctor, I know as a child I was, in fact I'd climb up the cherry tress in front of our house, to get out of going. So it be reasonable for him to want find an out!

As a parent I think anything outside the common cold or 24 tummy bug should be looked into, not ignored. As an adult I have the right to say no, but as a parent it's my duty to make sure my child has that chance someday as well, until their an adult it my responsibility to look after their health and well being, seek medical help when need be!

They're relying on medication rather than God.

Now you are trying to use his situation with being in school to prove you are right about the trusting God for health issue. You are using two separate issues and trying to use one of those situations against him to make your point on the other issue. It's a strawman argument. It's a good strawman argument, but a strawman none the less.

Amen Brother!!!!

Thinking outside of the box would help, plus if you would listen instead of assuming.

If you think that it is sin, why don't you show some evidence to support what you believe?

Also it's one thing to say "I was trusting in God to heal" and another to say "Our religion teaches we should avoid medical help from anyone other than God"

Because in the second they see that this is a matter of our religion teaching this is a MUST and the first is purely a personal choice

People will see what they want to see and choose what they want to do, but don't criticize me for trusting God completely and choosing the way of God rather than going to the hospital and trusting doctors. If you trust in medications, then trust in them, but I will trust God completely.
