All sickness, accidents, lack etc., anything that isn't love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control must be from the adversaries realm. "Chemical imbalance" is not from God, it may be the smokescreen the adversary uses to hide His attack on health, and medicine might help but never sent anyone to the Dr. , He never said "this ones too tough for me", the Gettering (sp?) demoniac included.
Out of His kindness He may allow Drs. to help some, but we must NEVER place them above or give first place over Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals us.

It seems that you have completely overlooked the Fall, and the fact that Adam's sin resulted in untold effects on the entire creation. It is narrow at best to claim that everything other than the fruit of the Holy Spirit is "from the adversaries (sic) realm". The truth is that we live in a fallen world where people get sick and accidents happen. Scripture even states that God is the Author of calamity. Let's not give the enemy more credit than he is due; that only results in confusion.

How have the people of God become so entangled with the things of this world?

Bluntly, you're dead wrong.

Some people are born with messed-up genitalia. Deal with it respectfully instead of calling it "sin".

I often feel like I'm looking at comments on CNN or Fox News, not a Christian forum. So many people here are focused on the world and not the Lord.

Ah, so in your mind, the baby born blind or with a deformed arm is merely unfortunate, but the baby born with deformed genitalia is a sinner?

Dude, that's sick.

It is extremely rare that a child is born with both male and female genitals, so the argument is hardly valid.

If you want to put carefully-worded parameters on my statement so that you come out looking correct, you go right ahead. I see right through it.

Why is this such a thing for you? Were you born with deformed genitals? I mean, this isn't even a subject worth discussing because it is so rare it is not even on the radar.

See through what? Are you a deformed genitalia person? I don't understand the passion about this. It's creepy.

It is impossible to rewrite the words of the men who lived the history when those words are preserved for us. There are letters Constantine wrote, the man who changed the church in he year 313, and the laws that he made. There are the writings of the leaders of the churches of the first 300 years of the church, the actual words they wrote. These things cannot be changed,even by you.

I have witnessed many changes in the English languages in just my life time.
