Jaime, I think the point she's trying to make is, that since the title of this thread is, "Walk away from the pharmacy", and that you have said you stopped taking your meds, that those things may convince someone else to do exactly what you're asking them to do in the title.. Naively go off their meds in the hope that God will heal them, because that's what He does.
However, God does NOT heal everyone. So while I'm sure you mean well
, to say "trust in God and stop your meds" really is a pretty unwise thing to say..
Take me for example. Say I read this thread, thought "oh wow, stopping his meds worked and God healed him, maybe it'll work for me". So I naively go off my seizure meds in hopes that God will automatically heal me of them, and what happens? A day or two later, I STILL not only have seizures, but am having them hit harder and longer, and because grand mals are very serious, I go into one and I don't come out of it and have to be put on life support. SOOO, by taking the advice you offered here, I put my health at risk AND pretty much ended my life.
THIS is what wwjd_kilden, myself and others are trying to show you could happen, if some new naive person comes along and decides to follow your advice on here. Do you realize now, how dangerous that could be?

Thank you
That's laughable!
You are totally void of understanding what Jesus did at the Cross of Calvary... Jesus said the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy so I'm saying true Christians stand on the promises God gave His children as purchased by Jesus Christ at the cross and oppose the devil.
Are you claiming God and the devil are the same person and when bad things come to us it's God's will that effort is made to destroy us???
It's amazing how many people claiming to be followers of Jesus Christ reject His Word in favor of carnal, man-made, religious teaching that is in opposition to what God said in His Word... amazing!
Things do not end well for those not in agreement with the Lord... let God be true and everyman a liar... unless one wants to repeat what God has already said in His Word!
So, you are saying it's wrong to believe what God says about His people in His Word???
Did you remove these scriptures from your Bible?
Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ
Ephesians 2:8-10
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Romans 14:23
for whatsoever is not of faith is sin
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Not being in faith... is gonna burn, so the faithless might want to turn!
If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior you have been bought by the Blood of Jesus Christ and as such you ARE a useful member of the Body of Christ and the faith that you have is a gift from God and it IS the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Don't pay attention to these yahoos, unbelieving believers who have been taught to look at things from man's point of view rather than from the Lord's point of view. God is right and mankind is wrong... smart people agree with the Lord, nut jobs play mind games cause their mind is still darkened by the wisdom of mankind. Maybe they'll grow up someday and agree with the Lord concerning the new birth.
Carnal minded people follow religion rather than what God's Word actually teaches... always go with God's Word and ignore those that oppose what God's Word says about you.
1 Corinthians 2:14-16
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
