This is the child I was talking about who was adopted out and we made contact with recently, only to find out he's very borderline retarded. I am convinced this happened to him because of a lack of oxygen. We have 4 other children, and none of them are retarded. Every time I think about him being retarded it breaks my heart and makes me want to go find that doctor and beat him senseless for being late!!!! Ugh!

Lack of oxygen is a big concern, this was the case with our son, doctor didn't like what he was seeing on the read outs. I'm sorry about your son, they try to keep my mom from having me, they told her she had to wait till the doctor got there. The nuns try crossing her legs, she threaten them with lawsuit! They finally left her alone out I came, blue! I was her fourth child she said she never seen a baby so blue, she thought I was dead.The only problem I have is with my eyes, they are bad, I can't see well. So I do understand the risk. I'm sorry what happen to you folks, happy to see you've contacted him and all went well .

Re: Witchcraft = medication

"He called me Dad" One of the top 10 postings of all time. I printed it and have it hanging where I can read it when I need an uplift.

And for that thorn in his flesh, he used medications! That's my point! I think you are getting it, but OM is still looking in the weed patch for his flowers!

Uhhhhh, there are no scriptures that say Paul took any medications for his thorn in the flesh.

When he is specific and says that people who take medications aren't trusting completely in God, that's very personal, not only to me, but to several on this forum. That statement is in no way a general one.

So I take his statement about me and put it on him. That's all.

And yes, his answer would discredit his premise that those who take medications don't fully trust in God.

Again, I didn't deny that!

I believe someone posted them when they also posted Paul telling Timothy to take wine for his stomach.

Post 252. It wasn't Paul, but several others that were referred to in how medicinal herbs and medicines were used for healing properties.

I would love to see them. There's been a lot of debate on what Paul's thorn was to begin with. There's nothing there to indicate he was taking medication for it. Anyway, I've been on this thread pretty much most of the day, so I am going to call it a night on this trusting God thing. Catcha on another thread!

Same point being made.

If one claims to trust God completely with health, why can't they admit the same with finances?
