I don't care how much faith ones has, pain is pain, if your hurting bad enough you'll seek help, if your wise and smart. Sometimes the body requires medical intervening, nothing wrong with that or lack of ones faith. Pain is a way of saying something wrong !
When I was in labor epidural, I tried to go without but pain is pain it was to great, I think God for epidurals !
Kidney stones, morphine, again pain is pain.
CCI Thank God he took notice something was not right, he felt off, sure enough appendicitis, good thing he didn't shrug it off, thing is he could be 6ft under today instead he at home with his family as should be, thanks to medical help.
You don't think that God can take care of these things without seeing a doctor or taking medication?
There's a scripture that talks about "the" measure of faith. Brother OM has already posted another scripture that talks about "great" faith. You seem to be losing this part of the argument, Sister. Quit while you're ahead.
You hate it when I tell you that you are missing the point, but you are.
I have asked for proof that a measure of faith produces a better outcome. All I'm getting is 'Jesus said it, argue with Him', yet there is no scripture showing that measurable faith, other than having a mustard seed grain worth, gets better results.
In addition, I'm not convinced that the 'great faith' mentioned is speaking of a measurable faith, although it could be. To me, it's like telling someone you had 'a great time'. It's not measurable terms.

Yep He sure can, but we have a choice! I choose to seek help, the body did the rest, it passed the baby and the stone.
Sister, we had two different doctors tell us getting an epidural wasn't good for the baby. The drug is great for the woman, but the baby gets it too. It has a tendency to make the baby very sluggish and extends labor time for the woman. As for the stones, I have heard them buggers hurt like there's no tomorrow. They couldn't use that ultrasonic method they have of pulverizing the stones?

Agreed.
And I don't believe for a minute that OM has never taken meds for any reason. I think he just likes to talk and hope others are listening....LOL!
