00:00:00.000 We know that Christ is for healing because we see essentially that, you know, Jesus comes, he does heal people.
00:00:08.820 We see that healing, not that Jesus promises healing to everybody who is sick, but Jesus is a, essentially an emblem of the reversal of the fall.
00:00:19.620 And we know that with fallen bodies, we essentially have sickness, death, disease is a part of the fall, fall of creation, the fall of man.
00:00:28.560 and Jesus is coming to represent that he is a fall reversal figure
00:00:35.020 in the sense that he is the one who will reverse the fall eventually.
00:00:39.800 Eventually, when Christ returns and restores everything,
00:00:43.800 there will be no more disease.
00:00:45.400 There will be ultimate healing provided to every human being
00:00:47.860 that trusts in Christ.
00:00:51.120 And so what I say all that is that healing is a good thing.
00:00:57.060 Um, we have a biblical and theological case for seeking healing. Um, and there's also some
00:01:06.760 evidence in scripture that talks about seeking different modalities of healing, using different
00:01:11.800 things from alcohol. Uh, you know, Timothy's reference to his stomach hurting. There's also
00:01:17.140 the Proverbs that says giving a dying man alcohol. Um, there's, uh, you know, reference that Luke is
00:01:23.440 a doctor. We understand that he probably leveraged whatever was available for him
00:01:28.180 in that day to essentially use those herbs and resources and medicines that he had available to
00:01:37.400 him. And so I think just the biblical theological landscape is that healing is good. It's to be
00:01:44.640 sought after. Life is to be preserved. I would say in the sixth commandment of do not murder,
00:01:52.800 There's also another side of that is like preserve life.
00:01:55.960 And so there's an implied principle there.
00:01:58.580 And so I think it's good for us to fight and work for healing.
00:02:05.560 Now, when we think about the medical system today, we certainly have significant problems.
00:02:14.920 I would say there is an institutional distrust that is growing.
00:02:22.020 Right.
00:02:22.800 in the medical industry from the traditional medical industry.
00:02:27.980 Well, I think there's been a lot of distrust sowed in the past couple of years. I think we
00:02:33.500 all know what I'm referring to. Yeah. That which we are not looking to talk about.
00:02:40.340 But I mean, it's true. I think the Lord has used things like that, not just in our recent past,
00:02:46.980 But in, you know, like a hundred years ago, there are things that have occurred within our, like the medical system and the pharmaceutical companies that have made it easy for many people, I think, today to see that there's something more going on than just seeking healing for people.
00:03:12.800 Well, there's been like a revelation of information regarding the safety and efficacy of vaccines and pharmaceuticals.
00:03:25.420 And I think that, yeah, we saw, you know, Big Pharma walk out with, you know, a billion dollars in their pockets through the COVID nightmare.
00:03:33.380 But beyond that, there's also, you know, more and more cases that are happening to correlate, you know, autism with vaccines.
00:03:40.800 vaccines. There's some studies that say that there is no correlation. But we know that there's
00:03:46.040 heavy metal poisoning that is happening from vaccinations as little kids. I mean, I don't
00:03:51.300 remember the graphic, but you probably have all seen it on social media where it shows like a baby
00:03:58.540 in 1980 received three vaccinations for X, Y, and Z. And today, you're receiving like maybe over
00:04:07.500 100 vaccines right and they're all mixed together yeah so there's yeah it was under ronald reagan's
00:04:13.960 administration which is shocking because i think that he was just naive that they were essentially
00:04:18.520 making it illegal to sue pharmaceutical companies for uh vaccination injuries because they would
00:04:24.560 so they would blend like three vaccines into one so you you wouldn't really have any way to to
00:04:30.200 know which one caused the injury right um we lived across the street from some friends who had
00:04:36.040 who's actually in the medical system as a nurse practitioner,
00:04:42.440 his kids were vaccine injured and he went into the naturopathic space
00:04:47.840 and spent many years now studying more of a natural approach to medicine.
00:04:53.440 And so, yeah, so essentially we have a corrupt and liberal medical system.
00:05:01.120 So it's not just that they're corrupt in the fact
00:05:04.700 that they are choosing to put profit over people's healing.
00:05:09.160 But there's also a liberal mentality,
00:05:12.320 which we were just driving down here,
00:05:14.040 listening to Matt Walsh talk about the,
00:05:16.480 you know, the transgender agenda.
00:05:21.000 Yeah. What was it like the sex changing clinics? 0.99
00:05:24.860 Yeah. It just, the, the gender affirming care.
00:05:27.840 Yes.
00:05:28.160 That, that many hospitals are providing for people,
00:05:34.280 which is, I think we all know, not any sort of care whatsoever.
00:05:40.880 Yeah. So he made a point that there was like over 300, like 10 years ago, there was like three
00:05:46.380 clinics in America that did this crazy stuff. And now there's 300 clinics. And that episode we
00:05:53.100 listened to was from 2022. I mean, who knows how many there are now? So again, we have a corrupt
00:05:57.340 medical system. We also have a pharmaceutical industry. I always think the pharmaceutical 0.93
00:06:01.820 industry is like the subscription service of the medical industry so they want you to get on
00:06:06.900 their drug right and keep buying it right um and i'll be honest like i'm not saying that if you
00:06:13.420 take pharmaceuticals that you're you know sinful or something i'm stuck right now on claritin okay so
00:06:20.160 uh i hate it um but i i have a reaction what's called mass cell activation syndrome and it's
00:06:27.040 basically a histamine issue that's caused by mold toxicity and some of the other
00:06:33.680 infections that came from the Lyme disease. And I found that Claritin helped me overcome some of
00:06:41.920 those things pretty easily. But yeah, I've been on it for a year and a half.
00:06:46.060 Well, and I could have very likely been stuck on a drug that is essentially an immune suppressant
00:06:55.900 That is like, it's almost like a drip. It's like what you would use for like a, like every six to
00:07:03.540 eight week, uh, treatment. But these, these drugs, thank the Lord. I did not go down that route
00:07:12.880 because it's, it's, it's in line with what we're talking about. Like if you take them, you, you
00:07:20.100 likely can't get off because if you need to get back on them, then there could be adverse side
00:07:25.320 effects from having tried to get off to then needing to get back on. And so, you know, I,
00:07:31.960 I very likely could have gone down that route myself. Now, thank, thank God we, uh, we were
00:07:39.380 skeptical about things just from the experiences that we had with, uh, GI doctors, uh, you know,
00:07:46.160 10 years ago, um, and, and did not go down that path. And, and I feel like the, you know,
00:07:53.160 the Lord has certainly blessed us in that regard. Well, you guys, you found healing
00:07:58.460 without using traditional pharmaceuticals. Correct. Yep. And you were like close to your
00:08:04.800 deathbed. And that's like something that, you know, I think is really important to recognize
00:08:09.120 because, you know, you, what a lot of people do, and this is what the pharmaceutical industry
00:08:17.780 expects. They expect you to say, well, I don't want to change my diet. I don't want to change
00:08:21.680 my lifestyle. I'm going to continue to live as I am. Right. And they go, well, if you want to
00:08:26.380 just continue to living as you are, you can take this medicine and allow you to keep living that
00:08:29.540 way. But what you're saying is I actually was willing to change my life. We had to change
00:08:34.580 everything, everything, everything. And I think that's the, the pharmaceutical industry essentially
00:08:40.080 pushes this idea that, that their medicines can actually heal your body better than your body
00:08:46.680 can heal your body. Exactly. And we bite because we like the speed. We like the idea that I can
00:08:53.880 accomplish, quote, symptomatic relief quickly with this drug. Well, it's not like, that's the
00:09:03.400 thing that a lot of pharmaceuticals do is it masks the symptoms. It masks the pain. And,
00:09:12.400 you know in actuality the pain is there to to tell you it's your body's way of saying
00:09:20.140 something's not right we need to address whatever this is and so there's there's real value in that
00:09:27.780 pain and i think there's like the obvious like biblical correlations with understanding pain
00:09:33.740 in that way yeah is that we don't we don't want to just put a band-aid over the pain and
00:09:38.940 We'll see you next time.
