On the flipside many healers now talk about Spirit Guides and Angels, which alienates those Christians who may feel that working with spirits is wrong. I think that healing should be non-denominational. What do you think? |
The idea that Satan (in this case the Devil) is healing people to lead them away from Jesus, is just ludicrous. It reflects the nature of Christianity as a closed religion/worldview. In reality, if someone diverting an unknown energy force to cure disease or to mend physical damage was possible, it could only be positive. It would be a wonderful thing and should not be constrained by the personal beliefs of any group but adopted by all societies and cultures.
