YEAH!!! ...<I>Verndigger- first off Welcome to my blog! YEAH!!! Another new name!</I><BR/>Thanks, Fiery! you said: <BR/><I>I think it would then depend on cause of death-<BR/>medical negligence- immoral<BR/>honest medical error- regretable<BR/>careless medical error- immoral</I><BR/><BR/>would not the same criteria apply to other healing methods? such as various alternative methods, whether naturopath, homeopathy, or <B>whatever healing method someone chooses</B> ?<BR/>Christian Scientists don't *ignore* physical problems when they arise: they choose the healing method that has worked best for them in the past. They will also fairly naturally choose this same healing method for their children. <BR/>So CS'ers do not 'sit back and wait..', or 'refuse treatment', they are actively working for the healing, as I said before, in the way they know has worked for them and thousands of others, previously.<BR/>and of course there can be failures; and just like medical folks, CS'ers learn from their mistakes. and when there does not seem to be healing, many CS'ers may choose to turn to the medical, and for this choice they are not condemned or censured by the church. <BR/><BR/>SEAN, hi. what I am saying quite simply is basically the same as you said for medicine! "sometimes <BR/>despite the known healing power of Christian Science applied to a case, healing may not occur. <BR/>and we try to figure out why, and in many cases will persist, never giving up, knowing that the healing is there, just needs to be realized. <BR/>there is one well-known case in the annals of CS where an individual prayed for 10 years before being healed of being crippled in both legs. <BR/><BR/>so my bottom line point is simple:<BR/>just because we use prayer, depending on God, which may seem foreign to you, don't think we are doing nothing; and remember that using material methods is just as foreign to us, as using a spiritual approach may be to you. <BR/><BR/>TOMMY, sorry to hear about your Dad. there are many situations where people will turn to CS as a last resort, when all else has failed, and have been healed completely, in cases similar to your Dad's. <BR/><BR/>regards, <BR/><BR/>VerndiggerVerndiggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123285369625549789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583239250485118416.post-25479801707163536312007-06-09T19:29:00.000-05:002007-06-09T19:29:00.000-05:00Hey Verndigger,My dad died under medical care. He...Hey Verndigger,<BR/><BR/>My dad died under medical care. He had an aortic aneurysm and went to the hospital last year for surgery to have a stent put it in. After initially being told that he was okay, the stent must have gotten loose or something and he ended up bleeding to death internally.<BR/><BR/>On the one hand, I was upset that he died as a result of complications from the surgery. On the other hand, I knew that the aneurysm had expanded, and that if he had not gone in for surgery, eventually it would have ruptured and killed him.Tommykeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751182125861177379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583239250485118416.post-82095558380346187812007-06-08T23:39:00.000-05:002007-06-08T23:39:00.000-05:00What are you getting at Verndigger?Sometimes despi...What are you getting at Verndigger?<BR/><BR/>Sometimes despite modern medicine children, people die.
