If you really believe in "the power of prayer" shouldn't you drop your health insurance?

There is a difference between having faith and being unwise. For instance, I wouldn't go lay myself on a train track and play that God will save me, that's just stupid. So dropping heath insurance wouldn't be trusting God it would be unwise

I really hope this helps answer your question!! ^u^

I don't have health insurance, I'm gonna get fined out the *** for it too.

Health insurance doesn't heal anyhow, not a good comparison.

Not necessarily. Not having to pray for physical well-being frees up time to pray for other things.

Yes they should. But they are not "people of faith". As they claim to be. They are people of fear. They should not insure their churches and mosques either. But they do. Again a show of no faith.

God helps those who help themselves.

That's right, only if you actively try to cause good things to happen in your life, will God then cause good things to happen!

You have health insurance?

Check out Mr. Moneybags over here. Just rub it in a little more that you can afford to see a doctor.

Depends on your faith level.

No, because I know the following to be true:

In his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said that religious impostors would say to him: “Lord, Lord, did we not . . . perform many powerful works in your name?” Yet, he would reply: “I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:22, 23) Regarding the source of the power that such ones claim to have, the apostle Paul warned: “The lawless one’s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents and with every unrighteous deception.”—2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10.

Furthermore, “healings” associated with religious relics, idols, and images cannot originate with God. Why not? Because God’s Word clearly commands: “Flee from idolatry,” and “Guard yourselves from idols.” (1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 John 5:21) Such “healings” are part of the Devil’s ruse to draw people away from true worship. The Bible says: “Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.”—2 Corinthians 11:14.

Why Jesus and the Apostles Healed People

The genuine miraculous healings recorded in the Christian Greek Scriptures clearly identified Jesus and the apostles as being from God. (John 3:2; Hebrews 2:3, 4) Jesus’ miraculous cures also supported the message he preached: “He went around throughout the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and curing every sort of disease.” (Matthew 4:23) Jesus’ powerful works—which included not only healing the sick but also feeding the multitudes, controlling the elements, and even raising the dead—demonstrated what he will accomplish for obedient mankind under his Kingdom rule. Good news indeed!

Such powerful works, or gifts of the spirit, passed away with the death of Jesus and the apostles and any to whom they passed on the gifts. The apostle Paul wrote: “Whether there are gifts of prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are [miraculously spoken] tongues, they will cease; whether there is [divinely revealed] knowledge, it will be done away with.” (1 Corinthians 13:8) Why? Having accomplished their purpose—identifying Jesus as the promised Messiah and the Christian congregation as favored by God—such powerful works, including healing, are no longer needed; they are “done away with.”

Still, Jesus’ miracles of healing have an important message for us today. If we pay attention to and exercise faith in what Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God, we can look forward to the time when the inspired prophecy will be fulfilled both spiritually and physically: “No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isaiah 33:24; 35:5, 6; Revelation 21:4.

differentitate law of God and law of men.

how is your question different from Satan's when he asked Christ "throw yourself down from here for it is written the angels will have charge over thee" ?? Christ's response "it is written, do not tempt God". So what do you think, if I throw myself in front of traffic the Lord will step in and save me? What do you think he gave me intelligence not to step in front of traffic for? And why do you assume God can't use medicine to help his people, when he asks himself "is there no balm in Gilead?" You think God is isolated from medicine, from science, from everything and so you think his people should be as well, but the opposite is true - God is in control of all these things.
