Why doesn’t God heal everyone?

On April 30, 2019, there was a shooting in a UNC Charlotte classroom. Two people died and four were injured. The following semester Dr. Frank Turek and Dr. Rice Broocks to reach the hurting students and answer their questions. One student brought a challenge from atheist Sam Harris: why would God heal some people but not thousands of others? He supposedly heals someone’s back, but thousands of children die? How is that loving? Frank Turek and Rice Broocks respond.

I came to know GOD, when I was almost dying with pneumonia. Some of us are to stubborn to seek God... only when their world is falling apart , they do . That’s my testimony

[@JamesRichardWiley]

God is unknowable. You healed yourself. You are your body. Ten years ago I had Swine Flue, Viral Pneumonia and a blood clot in my right leg. I never prayed. I just relaxed and let the hospital staff pump me full of antibiotics and blood thinners. I made a full recovered and been fine ever since. I don't believe in Yahweh and he does not believe in me. We get along just fine.

[@mickqQ]

Evangelist Kim Patrik I don’t have a problem with people being ill , suffering, etc that’s life I have a problem when people claim there is an all powerful, all loving god. If you loved someone , would you let them suffer unnecessarily? If you had the power to take away an illness from one of your children would you do it ? Would you watch even one of your children die of thirst , rather than give them a glass of clean water ? There could be a god , but I doubt very much he is an all loving, all benevolent one. 3.575 million per year Can you guess wha that number relates to ? That is the number of people that die each year from drinking dirty water .

[@evangelistkimpatrik]

Mick Q And people never get a chance because of abortions. Suffering is a fact here on earth, and we have to live with it. It does not exclude an all powerful, loving God. In the end everything will be good, and evil has no more place.

In a way I feel like God saved my soul by not healing or shielding me from lifelong disease. Every day sucks and I'd never wish it on anyone but I know I would much rather suffer here than without my Father for eternity. Some of us, me, need to be cut down to change. Bless you all!

I am asthmatic. God has taught me much through the pain it has brought me - made it very clear to me that pretending to be in control when I'm not is just going to cause more problems. You need others. And sometimes the suffering you go through can be used as a shelter for others when they need you. God's plan for your life doesn't necessarily mean your life will be comfortable. But He does have what's best in mind: and when He bestows grace upon someone, they did not deserve it. Any kindness I have received from Him is not merited, but grace. "Sometimes people ask why bad things happen to good people. Thing is, that only happened once - and He volunteered."

I had an abusive father, and it was because of the pain I first came to saving faith. I battled with serious eczema for majority of my life that didn’t respond to any conventional medical treatment and because of it I learned to lean on God.

I’ve seen God during the good times, but it’s during the seasons of pain and waiting and suffering that He really makes his presence known.

Oh wow! I am a pediatric nurse for 17 years. Seen both miracles and tragedies. I've seen sooooo much. I remember coming home one day after a tragic long shift. I went into the shower on my knees and just wept at the suffering I had just witnessed. I boldly dared asked God why. Why do some get healing miracles which clearly happen that I've seen and some do not. As I was in the shower floor with my head bowed a thought came to my mind. I suddenly remembered Moses at the burning bush when God told him to put his hand in his coat and take it out. When Moses did that his hand was diseased then God said do it again. Moses hand was healed. The conclusion I got from that is God is God and we are not.

There are going to be things that make no sense. This side of existence is not our home, not our final destination.

Remember everything done is for his glory! That being said, healing or not healing can also be for that same reason. I was in a serious accident, that should of been paralyzed. God healed me only partially. If I had kept going down the road I was on, I wouldn't be a pastor today. I still can't do many things, but I can help others have strength, through my strength. I also now have many autoimmune issues too. This has gotten worst since I was little. I take around 50 pills a day, 2 shots a month, and soon an IV med every 6 months; he helps me get through all of it. But the one thing the devil can't take away is my strong faith in God and Jesus. If I hadn't gotten hurt many times over, or been sick like I am; I would not be able to help others in their faith. Peace and grace be with you!

Great post . . . we often talk about the faith to be healed -- the harder question is do you have the faith to NOT be healed. If everyone was healed we would effectively wipe out all disease and physical ailment and of course no one would ever die. And I believe we are here in this life to learn valuable lessons that we will take with us beyond the grave, and we learn the most from the hard times.

[@curiousatheist]

A sickness can be abl blessing in disguise. When people are healthy, they usually waste their health for work or night life and they have no time to think about God. But when you're sick it humbles you and helps you to think-what is this life all about? What if I die, where do I go? This kind of questions usually come when we are in solitude with our misery

Would he have gone to heaven like he did? How would his life have effected me or the family differently under other circumstances? Did my father's lack of faith cause it? Sins? What about all the negative talk my parents did lacking faith? I have personally recieved healing in my life, but it didn't seem to come easy. It seems you have your healing when you finally believe you are really healed before you see it. You know in your heart you are healed and you understand it from faith in God's Word. You have what you believe and what you say. Many will say that, but what is really in your heart. I think it's hard to be born a certain way and believe any differently. In the end, only Eternity matters though and I believe God has it all under control.

[@unkownoflife5959]

Amen, spoken beautifully.

[@Bi0Dr01d]

I think you're right and that you have to know in your heart what God has said and come to an understanding when you get healed. I think the reason much suffering happens in the world is because although Christians come to Faith in God, there are certain things I believe we as Christians don't understand *that we are SUPPOSED to understand.* I think the word of God is supposed to become alive in a person and that person becomes that word, and the power of God is released through the unity of that man and God. I think God heals some and not others many times because he uses a partnership with man to bring about his will, and that means he does it *through* people, but people don't know how to operate in the things of God, often because of typical cliche responses taught by Christians and things like that, which may be true at times or may be true in that it applies in every situation, but the depth of those truths may not be explored and therefore not understood by the believer, and so a believer may not become active in those things even though he's aware of them and believes them, and therefore the miracle doesn't happen. I don't think God is to blame for the lack of miracles, I think we Christians are because we don't seek God's face the way we should, because we don't meditate on God's word day and night to come to this understanding, and because we have many traditions in our beliefs that may not necessarily be biblical ("sacred cows"). I don't think it is US waiting on God, I believe God many times is waiting on us. This is why I think it's very good for Christians to study the topic of healing and miracles, by diving into the scriptures, studying testimonies, and listening closely to Jesus words to gain insight on what the Bible is actually saying. I think people should study the topic of healing in depth the same way they would study other topics, and not just leave it to assumptions that a person will just get healed randomly "whenever God feels like it", but that perhaps God wants to heal people and God's people do not understand what they should understand... You can check out these people who do teach on healing and miracles. The Last Reformation Peter Alhman Art Thomas Tom Loud Tom Scarella Tom Fisher Pete Cabrera Jr Andrew Wommack *Curry Blake* There are also people who have passed on below from previous generations who have been known in the church to have performed miracles in the past.

Did you know that the DNA molecule has the name Yahweh written on it? The DNA molecule is a double helix , consisting of 2 major segmented strands that spiral clockwise. These strands are connected by sulfur bridges, like the rungs of a ladder. These bridges are not evenly spaced along the molecule, but they do have a specific pattern. There’s a bridge, then 10 segments later there’s another one. Then 5 segments later another one, then 6 segments another one, then 5 segments later another bridge. This 10-5-6-5 pattern is then repeated over and over again for the entire length of the molecule. This is particularly interesting when viewed with the Hebrew language. In Hebrew, the numbers 10-5-6-5 correspond to the letters Y-H-W-H, which is the name for God, Yahweh. The God who created our very DNA signed his name in every DNA molecule to let us know that we are His. He created us, and then he signed his name in our very DNA. What’s even more remarkable is that Hebrew is a pictorial language as well. Each letter represents an image or concept. Specifically, the Y represents “Behold”, the H represents “a hand”, and the W represents “a nail.” So altogether, the name YHWH is saying, “Behold the nail in my hand.” Not only is our DNA telling us that we belong to God, but it is telling us who that God is. He is the one with the nail in his hands, the one who died for our sins, he is none other than Jesus Christ. Jesus IS God. He is the one who created us. Even at the beginning of creation, when he was still creating our DNA, he knew that we would mess up and need a savior. He knew that he would have to come and take the nails in his hands and die for our sins. Before we ever messed up, he was already thinking about how he could redeem us and bring us back home! Some people say they don’t believe in God, they believe in “science.” But here is science telling us through DNA that we were not only created by God, but that that God is none other than Jesus Christ! Jesus loves us so much. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

My Aunt said that she prayed to Mary for 60 years and where did it get her? With tears in her eyes she said 22 operations and now she does not believe in God. Crying, she said, "I had my first operation at age 21." My Mother prayed to the father in the name of Jesus according to John 16:23 and had zero operations. She was miraculously healed in 1977 and 2016. When Churches beg God over and over again (which does not work because in Matthew 6:7 Jesus said not to use vain repetitions), they fall back onto philosophy to explain why God does not heal. Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Nazarene, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Orthodox teach the following: 1. God is Sovereign. 2. God is all powerful 3. God is in control 4. God can do whatever he wants 5. God has a purpose, a plan and a time for everything, 6. God knows what you are suffering 7. God will heal you in his time. (I used to believe the above) This is HOPE, not FAITH. You are hoping in God 7 times. Jesus said all things were possible to him who believes, not him who hopes (Mark 9:23). Mark 11:24 says in the original to believe you ALREADY received. And Matthew 6:7 says the repetitions are vain. The received has an epsilon in front of it which means it is past tense. Most translations translate it to present or future, but this is a gross mistake. In Mark 6:5-6 Jesus WANTED to heal the blind, deaf, paralyzed but COULD'T because of their unbelief. James 1:6-7 says not to think that you will receive if you doubt. Jesus never said, 1. Go to the doctor 2. What did the doctor say? 3. It is not God's will to heal you 4. Wait 5. God has a purpose in this sickness. 6. God know's what you are suffering. 7. God has a purpose and a plan and a time for everything. 8. In His time, God will heal you. My Aunt said that she prayed to Mary for 60 years and where did it get her? With tears in her eyes she said 22 operations and now she does not believe in God. Crying, she said, "I had my first operation at age 21." In the Original Greek in Mark 11:24, Jesus commands His apostles to believe that they already received when they pray. In 2016, six specialists told my mother that she needed a pacemaker. She was so weak that she could only walk 20 feet in 10 minutes, and then had to sit down and rest. I shared Mark 11:24 with my mother. We prayed in the name of Jesus and then my mother praised God that she was already healed. The next day she walked a mile to go get her groceries, completely normal. She never did need a pacemaker. Just days before, she was so weak that she was hospitalized for 10 days. My neighbor was sent home to die because he was so low on the list for a kidney transplant. He was bedridden. The doctors told the wife that in 2 to 3 days he would be dead. We prayed the same way and he rose up completely normal the next day. He stood out in the front yard and stopped all the neighbors and told them what happened. I could go on and on for hours telling you about several neighbors and several relatives that received this way. God confirms His Word with signs (Mark 16:20), the problem is that too many are using vain repetitions which Jesus said were vain in Matthew 6:7. Also it is the prayer of FAITH that heals the sick in James 5:15, not just prayer. Faith is based on the Bible. Since 99% of Churches do NOT teach on healing, 99% of Churches cannot pray the prayer of Faith to receive healing. Look up James 5:15, it is the prayer of FAITH that heals, not the prayer of repetition. In Matthew 9:2, it was THEIR faith, in Matthew 9:22, it was HER faith, and in Matthew 9:29, it was THEIR faith that caused them to receive. That 3 times in only 1 chapter. In Acts 14:7-10 it was the mans faith that healed him, not Paul's faith. My mother sang in Church in Greek prior to coming to the US. I took 2 years of Greek at my Catholic University just so that I could prove the difference between Hope and Believing. I even told my Greek professor and read to her Mark 11:24 in the original. She and a Greek man in Church and 2 other Greek's from work told me that I am correct in my interpretation. You must believe that you already received prior to receiving. You must believe the Bible, not Philosophy to receive.

Did you know that the DNA molecule has the name Yahweh written on it? The DNA molecule is a double helix , consisting of 2 major segmented strands that spiral clockwise. These strands are connected by sulfur bridges, like the rungs of a ladder. These bridges are not evenly spaced along the molecule, but they do have a specific pattern. There’s a bridge, then 10 segments later there’s another one. Then 5 segments later another one, then 6 segments another one, then 5 segments later another bridge. This 10-5-6-5 pattern is then repeated over and over again for the entire length of the molecule. This is particularly interesting when viewed with the Hebrew language. In Hebrew, the numbers 10-5-6-5 correspond to the letters Y-H-W-H, which is the name for God, Yahweh. The God who created our very DNA signed his name in every DNA molecule to let us know that we are His. He created us, and then he signed his name in our very DNA. What’s even more remarkable is that Hebrew is a pictorial language as well. Each letter represents an image or concept. Specifically, the Y represents “Behold”, the H represents “a hand”, and the W represents “a nail.” So altogether, the name YHWH is saying, “Behold the nail in my hand.” Not only is our DNA telling us that we belong to God, but it is telling us who that God is. He is the one with the nail in his hands, the one who died for our sins, he is none other than Jesus Christ. Jesus IS God. He is the one who created us. Even at the beginning of creation, when he was still creating our DNA, he knew that we would mess up and need a savior. He knew that he would have to come and take the nails in his hands and die for our sins. Before we ever messed up, he was already thinking about how he could redeem us and bring us back home! Some people say they don’t believe in God, they believe in “science.” But here is science telling us through DNA that we were not only created by God, but that that God is none other than Jesus Christ! Jesus loves us so much. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

[@skirtonbear1]

So are you thinking God causes all trouble? Our sin caused all of creation to exist in a fallen state. When God heals someone it is out of His mercy and Grace which aren’t deserved, but added to us. Cruel parents are sinful and have no ability to be good, the way God is good. I didn’t see a sound message here from CE, when I usually do; it was difficult to follow their points. What you took away from it seemed to come from a part they started, but didn’t finish. =God intends the best for everyone. Each person has the option to choose to trust and love God or not. Some will never accept Him, His Son’s sacrifice, nor His plan. We don’t know what He is doing when He does or doesn’t heal someone here on earth, because we assume that He should just fix things for everyone the way we want it. But that would take away the spiritual growth, the spiritual, mental, and emotional strength people gain when we persevere. That isn’t cruel. Sometimes we are given an extra measure of healing supernaturally. To require it from Him means that it is thought we deserve it. In the end we go where we want to: away or toward Him, Hell or Heaven. Yet He does supply rain and sun to everyone.

It was promised that we will be able to be redeemed in our next life by having faith in what Jesus did for us in this life. If you don't do that then you have to answer for your sins yourself and there will be a just punishment for those sins. Either way you aren't God and cannot understand him because as he said his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts for his thoughts are as high above our thoughts as the heavens are above the earth.

Two things: 1: If you blame God for not helping people yet you have the resources and capabilities of helping them yourself, you don’t get to cast blame. 2: God heals both directly and indirectly. It either comes from him directly intervening in a situation or him using someone with his spirit to be used as a vessel

[@170221dn]

If he lets someone die he isn’t healing directly or indirectly.

[@pigzcanfly444]

StealthAether I don’t know why you are replying to me. It was the original poster who claimed he heals people. I agree with you, if he exists his interaction with us is identical to him not existing

[@carsonrorie6399]

170221dn are you saying he doesn’t heal people? Because wether a person lives or dies is in the hands of God since he created life he chooses to either give or take it. If the person is healed then he is either directly or indirectly involved, and if they die, it’s either he chooses to take them because they’ve fulfilled their purpose or he allows it to happen for a reason

On a different angle, we live in a time of the greatest medical advancements in the history of the world. I personally believe these are blessings from God, and even though there are scientific discoveries that made these advancements possible, those discoveries were inspired by a loving Heavenly Father. We should acknowledge them as miracles or gifts from Him. The big question is how do we show our gratitude to God. Where much is given, much is expected. We serve others.

God’s timing. He has a reason for healing or not healing helping or not helping. There are spiritual battles raging and free will at play. So God ways are not our ways and so we have to understand that there’s gonna be many things we may never understand this side of heaven

The problem about Apologetics is that it doesn’t make Christianity the spiritual walk it is. You cannot look at GOD from a human stand point. It has to be spiritual.

[@ishiftfocus1769]

God’s message today is not that the saved are immune to sickness, pain, death, or would physically overcome their enemies. This is the message of Israel’s kingdom. God’s message today is that his grace is sufficient to save the weakest sinner in their infirmity (Rom 5:8). Though we still get sick and weak in the flesh, he provides spiritual strength to the inner man by his grace through faith. When we are weakest in the flesh we die, and it is then that his grace is magnified most for it is then that we are glorified with Christ. Physically, acknowledge that we all are weak and will eventually die. Until that day, remember that our body is the Lord’s (1 Cor 6:19-20). See a doctor, eat well, get rest and exercise. Take care of yourself. After all, we live for Christ’s sake. Positionally, we are already dead waiting for the hope of glory. Until that day, your inner man needs strengthened to bear infirmities for Christ’s sake. Whether you are alive, dead, or sick Christ can be magnified, because hope is not found in your flesh but in the Lord (Phi 1:20). His strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor 12:9). Remember, that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in the saints (Rom 8:18). Rejoice in the Lord, pray without ceasing, in every thing give thanks (1 Th 5:16-18). Continue doing the will of God for today, to live by grace walking by faith, because his grace is where you find the power of Christ.

[@wataboutya9310]

There truly is much pain and suffering in this world. We see it every night while we watch the news. That said, I believe in a creator because of the beautiful things in this world. The animals, the birds, the fish, the insects, the majestic mountains, the forests, the mighty oceans, the breeze on a summers day, the snow in winter, the stars in the sky, daylight, nighttime, the four seasons, thunder, lighting, rain, fog, ice, etc. etc. To see, feel, hear, touch and experience all these wonders yet believe they all came about from nothing for no reason, just doesn't make sense to me personally. That's why I firmly believe in intelligent design via a creator we call God.

[@timjansen7694]

"is it immoral for a nurse to help a patient back to health if she can't help every patient?" No. But God IS able. That's the difference, and why the argument Frank gave falls short.

[@fishyc150]

No, wrong. A nurse if she could would help everyone. Triage is the concept of "doing the most for the most" and is constrained only by limitations placed on you by equipment and time. I've time and a scalpel to save one kid with a rope round his neck or I can pull 3 kids off the railway track... but cant do both. So either god cant or wont help everyone. Either isnt good.

[@philb5116]

In Isiah God says that his hand is not short to not heal people and their land, but by the rebelliousness and iniquity of the people God refuses to answer nor heal. God looks at the heart, not what a person looks like or what he/she is wearing or where he/she is. Many don't even know God or even if they know they reject him and live in sin according to the desires of their heart. So, they don't receive their healing. God will surely heal them if they reject their own ways and turn their heart towards God in faith. if u are struggling in stopping your ways/sins, ask God sincerely to give u strength, talk with him all that u have, that's prayer. The important thing is to be in a relationship with God.

@@theoskeptomai2535 No formula, no calculation. More than 22 years ago, my brother suffered from mal-nutrition from which he contracted diseases like dadura, which kills children. We were poor, not being able to provide for hospital care. We were Hindu then, another brother had already passed away due to similar disease. So, a Christian missionary came to our house and told my mom about the salvation through Jesus. After believing and praying, the brother started getting healthy and the disease left him, although our diets had remained the same. He is alive and the most healthy in our family today.

[@gracemorganspeaks]

Listen child of God. Its always God's will to heal. Jesus said this kind can only go by prayer and fasting. What kind was He talking about. Its unbelief. In the old testament the scripture says by his stripes we WERE healed but in the New testament. By His stripes we ARE healed. Notice the difference?. So don't limit God. Just believe in Jesus. Also read Matthew 13: 58 where Jesus could not perform some miracles because of their unbelief.

The Lord said to Moses, 2 “These are the regulations for any diseased person at the time of their ceremonial cleansing, when they are brought to the priest: 3 The priest is to go outside the camp and examine them. If they have been healed of their defiling skin disease,[a] 4 the priest shall order that two live clean birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop be brought for the person to be cleansed. 5 Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over fresh water in a clay pot. 6 He is then to take the live bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water. 7 Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the defiling disease, and then pronounce them clean. After that, he is to release the live bird in the open fields.
