What, that she died? I know that will be a welcomed news to many. It is sad to hear of the death, but one thing is clear the Giver of life has the right over life - He gives and He takes, to Him be all the Glory. I will not condemn them, we all go through stages in our Christian life, we have challenges, and with some we fail. Even though going to hospital is not a guarantee for cure, the parents still have to obey the laws of their country.

That is part of their challenge, the good thing is that all things work for good to those who love the Lord. We fail in some of the challenges, but overall never failures.

I'm having trouble working out if you think that praying for a sick child and denying them medical care is OK. I don't think you do, but you've not made it clear IMO.

Yeah, because, that's the same as watching a child suffer and die while you pray and deny basic care. The abortion debate in the US is totally retarded, it seems like one side wants to kill unborn babies at will, and the other wants to deny the right to abortion in all cases. What happened to common sense ?

Crap, they chose to prevent her receiving treatment.
Visit http://www.notreadytogiveup.com/[^] and do something special today.
Yeah, that is one view of it, and the one that will be used against them. To me they chose to teach their child to learn to trust in the Lord even in hopeless times, something she will neeed if she had lived. Many things happen in a Christian life. So, I will avoid packaging all under a single "visible result". Best regards, Paul.

Read the parents statements, they never meant to deny her medical care. They miscalculated it. Just hope as a parent you will never make mistake.

I was speaking to him, I hope he understood it - and did not response, but if you just want to show how only have a common sense you have my blessings. Best regards, Paul.

So, the death of the child is an unfortunate side effect of true faith ? It's a shame that will be 'used against them' ? The Bible indicates to me that Christians should be like a bright and shining light, that our conduct should attract people to the church. I'm not sure how this qualifies. And that's just taking the religious argument and ignoring the not insignificant ( to me anyhow ) fact that a child is dead.

There is a profound difference between "miscalculation" and criminal negligence. This was the latter, not the former.

Paul Selormey wrote:

I have no doubt. I also read they are being charged accordingly, not as if it was deliberate. The real issue here, IMO, is that the publicity this generates may cause another moron to get medical help for their child. I am all for prayer. Prayer and denial of medical help is testing God, the Bible says not to do that.

Not sure what you meant to ask here ? Only who has common sense ?

"Criminal negligence" on the hand will mean that they never cared about their child, which nothing in the report shows. Best regards, Paul.

It's like the story about the man who clung to his roof in a flood, in the early stages the police told him to leave he said he trusted the lord, when a boat came and offered help he said he trusted the lord, when the helicopter came he said he trusted the lord, and he drowned. When he got to the pearly gates he was angry and demanded to see the boss and the lord said "but I sent a policeman to warn you, I sent a boat and a helicopter and you ignored them all". Surely it is not too much for believers to believe that doctors and hospitals are god's work, or do you believe that are they aligned with the other side??

They might have cared but rejecting medical treatment in favor of asking an invisible friend to magically heal a child is criminal negligence no matter how you slice it.

Exactly - like I said, not letting doctors help you, is testing God, not trusting Him.

If that child will die, she will - whether in hospital or not. In the court, it is not going to be Bible/faith but law, so yes, it will be "used against them".

And it is unfornatute, when you start drawing conclusions about things you do not know how it will end. God's plan for this issue is unknown to both of us, it might look hopeless/end to you if you lack faith. The problem we Christians have is to join the world and mock/condemn other Christians if they appear to have stambled, instead of with love, prayerfully helping them stand. "attract people to the church", it seem all that is important to you, to those in "help yourself". Best regards, Paul.

That is your level of faith, and please do not extend it to mean "testing God" - which part of the Bible teaches that? Best regards, Paul.

Hmmm, we just feel different things. I feel the presense of God in me, and He is real to me. If you do not, He is not real to you. We can talk about it all day, and we will not agree since it is beyond human understanding or logic. Best regards, Paul.
