Too many Christians think there is a divide between God and science, and specifically medical science. They think it is morally wrong not to listen to the experts, and say things like "God gave us modern medicine, vaccines, medical technology, etc. as means by which He can heal us." But they use no discernment whatsoever in deciding whether or not to follow the advice of their physicians. And so many people in each congregation work in the field of medicine, and are seen as caring and altruistic, and I don't doubt that many of them truly want to help people. It's just that they themselves have been led astray by the system, and no one wants to criticize medicine because they don't want to be seen as ignorant or uncaring.
I've concluded that most people only believe in God up to the point where believing in God becomes scary, unsettling, life course altering, and so on. Most people little understand what 'the purpose of Man is to glorify God' really means ... nor how to abide in that. And it seems that locking up churches, wearing masks, social distancing, wearing the abjectly stupid plastic face shields and bowing down to the god-state took first row seat precedence over Man's prime duty which again ... is to Glorify God in all things. During the C19 Terror Campaign all Christian sourced and based reason was chucked out the window (actually most astonishingly, it apparently was not even there in the first place!).
C-19 really opened my eyes, clarified to a large extent as to what people were really about with 'actions speaking louder than words' as the highest tier of good instruction.
You know, that reminds me of the Israelites who, even after being delivered from Egypt through the water, still had no idea what the purpose of man was and that generation had to die in the wilderness.
If doctors want to "help people" for the sake of generating good feelings in their flesh, then they have their reward. If, by disregarding epistemic responsibility, they harm people in the same vein, they will answer for it to a Holy God.
You are NOT referring to Energy Density Frequency Medicine that is ALTERNATIVE medicine with NO side-effects that God did give us so we don't have to worry about sickness or big pharma or expensive doctors, etc. It works in about 10 minutes and costs 2 cents per treatment.
