Methinks this is the correct Forum.

And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.
and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it -- dying thou dost die.'


A some day, long into the future; You will need to invent pharmedical's, vaccines experimental and otherwise, drugs and means to change genes and DNA, for sell, so they can try and overcome their destiny.

I watched Judgement Day 2, and learned that the future is not fixed, thus our expectation of destiny rests on probability at best, and presupposition at worst.

Can medical care be part of God's destiny for us, or do we just need to resign ourselves to death from a minor infection?

only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to thee doth surely die.' And Nathan goeth unto his house, and Jehovah smiteth the lad, whom the wife of Uriah hath born to David, and it is incurable;

and David seeketh God for the youth, and David keepeth a fast, and hath gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth.

And that doesn’t answer the question.

No one is saying that medicine or treatment can cause someone to live whom God had appointed to die at that point, but what about simple things to stay healthy (or be treated) in the normal course of life?

The Levitical laws had a lot to do with creating a special kind of society for the purposes of the Kingdom of God, but there was also quite a bit about simple hygiene and preventing plagues by isolating individuals who were ill (aka, quarantine).

Paul suggested that Timothy drink some wine for the sake of his stomach, and one of Paul’s companions was Luke, a doctor, who likely cared for people around him.

So, are you opposed to medical intervention?

Under the Levitical law did they quarantine the one sick or everybody. I believe there will be a place for medicine as long as people are born of woman, of flesh and blood.

Even if Christ is ruling over them. The Doctors may or may not be, those ruling with him. I do wonder what the flesh and blood will eat?
