Are Hospitals going against god?

[sherminator]

Just wondering allowed as usual. But if god made everything he made all the diseases and made people be born with illness' Are doctors going to hell for undoing his good work?

Everytime a doctor cures someone of an illness is that them 'undoing' what god wanted?

Boxtops, that's another thing. Why would God set challenges? If he knows everything, it follows that he knows the results of any challenge he sets before he sets it. For example, he told Abraham to kill his son Isaac, knowing full well Abraham would be willing to do it despite the enormous distress it would cause him. God also knew that he would stop the slaughter at the last moment. Why would he find pleasure in putting someone through that kind of torture? Isn't that twisted? I think so.

Actually that's a really interesting question. Mind if I think out loud and possibly expand it?

If you believe in God, then yes, you could make that case. Course you could also make the case that God gave the surgeon the skill to prevent the disease, or make the person better to live a life as close to comfortably as possible?

To look at it another way. If you believe solely in Nature as the creator, you could argue that doctors are in fact destroying the planet (and possibly man's evolution) by interfering with the concept of 'survival of the fittest' by saving those who, unhelped, should die. Again, this is countered by an argument that man developed skills to defeat disease, so in fact medicine is possibly an evolved form of "survival of the fittest" in action.

OR: If you believe in reincarnation and the concept of attaining perfection through experiencing everything during your various incarnations, you could argue that doctors interfere with the cycle as it may well be that person's due experience in this life is to die from that disease. Course it may well be that they need to be saved from that disease to complete their experience...

Hi Naomi

That challenge to Abraham was for one reason only - so we can see this on Family Guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WllOkTv7v30

Damn that's funny

Hi Whicker, that's a very interesting perspective. I hadn't thought of it that way.

Thanks for the video. Someone else on here mentioned Family Guy a few days ago. I've never seen it - but perhaps I'll start watching. :o)

Ratter – To start with you were wrong to assess me. I don’t believe whole Bible to be words of God nor I believe in the God in the present Bible. Wyzar 66 (once again with a changed name) tried helping you on that. I believe in Quran and there are clear differences between two.

Naomi – for you I have always said and here is once again. Your description and requirement of God sounds more like this guy,

Even if someone uses common sense (and no university provides degree in that) can see that Africa, Sri Lanka or any country you talk about but the truth is that majority of the people in the world are healthy, prosperous and so on. So in other words majority is unable to look after the minority and then they blame God for that. I have a little child at home and I have placed a stair guard to stop him from falling and getting hurt. He tries his best to open that gate and he knows nothing about getting hurt. In his little mind he might be thinking that why my parents stop me from going up and down but he does not know the reason. We do and so does God. And that is the reason he gives freedom to us in some cases and puts restrictions and sets barriers (limited and unlimited) in our way in some cases. But we may keep on thinking why, just like my son does.

Keyplus. I have no requirement for any God, but I actually think your God and that guy have much in common - except your God isn't funny.

I'll ignore the rest. It's nonsense.
