Power Of Courts, Or Power Of Prayer?

Should the courts convict people for believing in the power of prayer instead of providing medical care for their children, when it results in the death of the child?

This is a not freedom of religion but instead of not providing due care in the eyes of our society, two different issues. They are charged for extreme medical abuse of minors leading to death and not the religious 'motive' why they acted so. -- James, Rosedale

They prayed for healing ... but ignored that the means to accomplish those desires was right in front of them at the hospital!

God is not going to do things for us that we have the ability to do for ourselves ....

If you're and adult and believe that Jesus will save you from appendicitis or colon cancer or what else might ail you, then, by all means, pray like there's no tommorrow. no pun intended. However, a child should NOT be subjected to YOUR special beliefs. You DO NOT have the right to risk a child's life, no matter how strong YOUR beliefs are...

just because you pray for healing doesn't mean you don't use doctors. luke was a physician. G_d uses doctors and others in our care and healing process.

yes; there are miracles and we; as believers should ask G_d for a healing miracle;(we have not because we ask not)but, at the same time understand that G_d is soverign and will chart our course. our job is to pray and believe, then allow G_d to do the rest.

problem is many people don't believe and many don't want to submit to a loving G_d. they only approve of G_d when things go well for them.
