A debate that happens in Christian circles and which outsiders don't understand is that of miracles.
When someone is diagnosed with an illness do they just trust God to heal them or do they trust the medical professionals to heal them? There is certainly christian groups that strongly believe in either side but is there a right side.
We came to this conclusion in a recent bible study we had. If our relationship with Jesus and with God is compared to that of husband and wife or friends or dad and child could we not apply this to this same issue.
In any of those relationships one could say hey I got this don't worry about it. Or hey I really think you should see a doctor. Or how bout we do this ... etc. you see there could be a variety of different answers depending on the circumstances but the key is to have a good relationship to have those conversations.
Of course this leads to the next question about how can I have a better relationship with Jesus and God.
