In Mark Chapter 1 we read of Jesus healing the sick and casting out devil's and unclean spirits for a LOT of people. In verse 33 we read that 'all the city was gathered at the door' of where He was staying. So it can be assumed each healing was very quick, just a word accomplished it.
I want to know if all disease is caused by unclean spirits? This we can partially surmise, since once the devils were banished, so was the affliction. Further to this, are all or some of our diseases caused by allowing bad spirits entry into our minds one way or another? Not just mental illness but physical?
If so, where does this leave modern medicine? Of course we must seek doctor's treatment as we require, but could it be that that is not enough and we must also pray to get permanent cure? It sounds straightforward but is hard to fathom.
I have asked this before, but I am still unclear.
