No, thats you seeing a person with problems and taking action. Honestly, if I walked up to any homeless person. of whcih many I pass every day...I bet I could find a way to help them.
THATS the issue. This is a matter of belief and illogical. There is nothign factual about it.
I saw a pink elephant! (of course, never stating that the elephant was merely painted pink.)

I've heard miracles of people with cancer getting healed.
I also know that cancer is not necessarily a fatal disease.

Peter Popoff does bother me. His "miracle water" is so blatantly ridiculous it hurts.One thing, why are all those kids speaking in tongues without an interpreter? That is not how it is supposed to be. Speaking in tongues is only supposed to be done so that everyone can understand and be edified.
Besides, tongues are a sign for unbelievers, not believers (1 Corinthians 14:22).
I feel that most glossolalia--and by "most" I mean "all the cases that I've heard of"--is either as I described previously or little more than charlatans who are full of crap. The way that glossolalia is usually presented today is that of foolishness. True glossolalia, I believe, is a calm, solemn event, not something where people are jumping around like chimps and yelling about the Holy Spirit.

The mind is a powerful thing. We can cure ourselves of almost anything, if we just believe we can. However, this is difficult for people to do. It is easier for people to believe in something outside of their selves. Faith healing is just that, faith healing.Demons and spirits do not exist, and the power of healing is not magic. We have control over our bodies, we just don't realize that.

**** sake.
What the mind can do is amazing. There is documented proof of the Placebo effect. But as usual with FeceMan, he has taken what I posted out of contest. It is no wonder he is so screwed up when it comes to the bible.

Placebo effect does not equal cure by any stretch of the imagination.

You need to study the subject more.
I know you are talking about actual disease, but I am not. Please go back and consider who I was talking to, and what was being said. Most of the “diseases” that are cured by faith healing and or the placebo effect are “diseases” in the person’s mind only.
I wish people would stop taking what I said out of context.
The mind can't do ****in shit, go to your nearest cancer ward and tell that to the people there... it's ok, your mind will heal you... total ****in shit. Faith Healing does not exits, it's all ****in fake!
Seriously, that's one of the stupidest things I've heard on here yet. You CANNOT heal a disease with your 'mind'.
Praying... worshiping... whatever, it does NOTHING! It may make you feel better, feel like you're helping, doing good, but you're not, you're doing **** all.
