1 Timothy 4:7 – 9:

Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance.”

 

 

 

 

If something is not definitely condemned by some specific passage(s) in Scripture, let each of us answer to God and our conscience as to what we allow (Rom. 14:1-23; 15:1-3; 1Cor. 8). The sins continued that damn the soul are listed in Mk. 7:19-21; Rom. 1:29-32; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; Gal. 5:19-21; Col. 3:5-10; etc. If we live victorious over these things through Christ, if we discontinue to defile our body which is God's temple, then we are qualified for heaven (2 Cor. 3:16-17). If anything is sin—shortcoming continued—and condemned by some specific passage(s) in Scripture, do your best to comply.

 

“Beloved, I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” – 3 Jn: 2

What Divine Healing and Health is Not

It is not healing and health by natural remedies, imagination, will power, personal magnetism, metaphysics, spiritualism, immunity from death, presumption, insubordination to God's will, mind over matter, denial of the plain facts of sin, health issues, and disease, or natural healing by inherent laws and creative powers in humankind's body (i.e. our God-given immune systems, endocrine systems, lymph systems, limbic systems, etc.)

 

 

 

 

The plan of God is to end evil and suffering forever (Exodus 34:6-7; Matthew 13:37-43; I Corinthians 15:24-28; Galatians 6:7-8; 1 Timothy 1:5; Revelation 21-22). The ultimate purpose of God in all His present dealings with man is to bring him back to the place where he was before the fall (beloved fellowship) and purge him of all possibility of failing in the future. “The object and purpose of our instruction and charge is that all believers would be filled with charity (love) that comes from a pure heart, and a clear conscience, and genuine faith.”  —1 Timothy 1:5
