If God answers medical prayers, then why do you need health insurance?


The question to ask yourself, therefore, is simple: If you are a believer, why you need health insurance? Or, for that matter, car insurance, life insurance or home owner’s insurance? Why are you worrying about your health in the future when: A) Jesus has told you specifically not to worry (Matthew 6:34), and B) Jesus has promised to cure any illness that arises (James 5:15)? In addition, why are you worrying about money, which is what health insurance is all about, when in Matthew 6:19 Jesus specifically says:

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

In Matthew 19:21 Jesus goes even further, telling you to sell everything and give the money to the poor. Obviously he intended for you to give up your health insurance policy and give its monthly payment to the poor as well.


This is great! free up medical facilities from wasting time and money treating christers as all they have to do is bray! have Cancer? car accident ? just send them to their churches!! And they don't have to buy health insurance!!!




Now lets see who among the self professed followers of this whack nutter religion follows it, not many I guess

Everything the Bible says is very clear. Why are you ignoring everything that it tells you to do? Here is a possibility for you to consider: you are completely ignoring the Bible because, in your heart, you know that God is imaginary. What other reason is there for you, as a believer, to ignore God so profoundly by owning health insurance?

And while we are on the subject about christians not following their god mans commands . Why aren't they doing this?

“And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched . . . . And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire than never shall be quenched . . . . And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire” (Mark 9:43-47; see also Matthew 5:29-30; 18:8-9; Luke 20:46-47).

No, you can pay the penalty. Trump also changed that, didn’t he?

When are you going to start helping others rather than thinking by supporting government mandates forcing someone else to do it, it's the same thing?

Notice how self professed christians are avoiding addressing why they shouldn't need any medical help or health insurance, as per their godman. Their godman Jesus has promised to cure any illness that arises (James 5:15)

Maybe, but liberals are the ones who want to force them to have insurance and take their kids away when they don't take their cancer kids for chemo, so make up your mind

Forcing mental ill people to do the right thing for the health of society is bad to you?

Link?

Interesting, so your god refuses to help us unless we "help ourselves", but loves those who help those who do not help themselves? Or does your god just love those who help others who help themselves as well? Seems pretty thin, and in our society, one can only rightly assume that most everyone is not helping themselves so we don’t have to really do much. Unless we can get another war out of it, then we’re ready to “help” anyone, anywhere anytime. Including Islamists.

If they want to participate in cannibalized socialism run through a predatory capitalist money laundering scheme first, where the insurance corporations take a cut off the top first and increase their profit margins by declining coverage, yes they should.

In advanced post-industrial nations with a real healthcare system, for profit health insurance is outlawed; criminal.

I don't consider it necessary for the "health of society" so you have begged the question. If some Christian Scientist from wherever Christian Scientists hangs out dies, it is of no effect whatsoever to me.
