Questions of Faith

Do we have more faith in our science, than belief in our faith? There are questions that we need to ask ourselves to see if our belief systems are where we claim they are.

  • If God made us in his own “likeness” did He do such a poor job of making us that we are suppose to break down, get sick and be unhealthy?
     
  • If Genesis 6:3 says, “My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” Then why are we considered old not much more than half way at age 65?
     
  • Did God forget to give us what we need to be healthy by not giving us vaccinations until man created them a few hundred years ago?
     
  • Did God not give our children a good enough mind that we should have to give them drugs to calm them down and allow them to think properly?
     
  • Why did God send his son Jesus to us in such unsanitary conditions before the invention of hospitals, antibiotics, doctors, and surgical procedures?
     
  • When doctors can no longer help someone, and they believe the patient will die, why do they say, “It’s in God's hands now.”  - When wasn’t it?
     
  • If Jesus said, “They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick,” then why do we bring babies to physicians for well-baby checks?

God gave us everything we need to be healthy. Many of man’s health issues are due to choices we make, both as individuals and as a society, that impact our health.  Chiropractic respects the fact that the body, by design is a self healing, self regulating organism. The focus of chiropractic is to remove nerve interference to the body, and allow the God given abilities to work the way they were intended. When this happens healing occurs.  Some call this healing a miracle. We know that all healing is a miracle; because that is the way it was intended to be.
