Doctrinal Debates

Primarily this particular section has been used to downplay medicine, medical insurance, and ACA a.k.a. Obamacare.  I'm going to take this opportunity to invite our readers to consider a different approach entirely.  As Bible believers weigh in on everything from Duck Dynasty to NDAA, to the origins of Christmas; perhaps it's time to really see what the Bible has to say about our health care.

Exodus 15:26 states this:
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of YHWH thy G-d, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am YHWH that healeth thee.

Even most folks who choose to believe the Torah is obsolete do quote the Prophet Isaiah and believe it is a reference to Messiah.
53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 

Scripture speaks of a good king that was very pleasing to YHWH, except in one area of his life.
And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to YHWH, but to the physicians.  And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.  II Chronicles 16:12,13

Many have stated that Messiah referenced physicians and he did.  He said those who are whole need not a physician . . .then asked, "Wilt thou be made whole?"  The word sick in the KJV is translated from a Greek word meaning "miserable."

The word pharmaceuticals is also from the Greek.  Every reference to sorcery in the book of the Revelation has the root word pharma

Since Romans 8:28 tells us all things work together for good to them who love YHWH and are the called according to His purpose.
Perhaps this Obamacare mess is a wakeup call to believers to stop masking our misery with pharmaceuticals and repent from the same mistake made by King Asa.
