Agree.For hundreds or thousands of years people prayed for cures to diseases and God answered by giving us doctors and researchers that have been able to come up with treatments and cures and are continuing to do so. Now it’s supposedly against His will to make use of these answered prayers?
9* Then he led him to Jerusalem, made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,
10 for it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you,to guard you,’
11 and:‘With their hands they will support you,lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”
Abortion and cloning have nothing to do with saving yourself, or another human’s life, by curing disease. In fact, abortion and cloning involve destroying an innocent human life.12 Jesus said to him in reply, “It also says, ‘You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.

The Bible is not an owner’s manual. It is not intended to be what you are asking for. What you are asking for is provided by the Church.It seems people are having problems understanding what Gods will is, so it seems to me, maybe the bible should have been a bit more clear on such things, so more people can understand.
what about the fallen angel that taught mankind these things that God forbade mankind from learning though?The Bible is not an owner’s manual. It is not intended to be what you are asking for. What you are asking for is provided by the Church.
God is the source of truth, so I don’t know how the fallen angel, who has completed separated themselves from God, can teach anything but falsehood.what about the fallen angel that taught mankind these things that God forbade mankind from learning though?
**Semjaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, **
‘root-cutting’ is Pharmacology, so does this mean God did not intend mankind to use such things and their use today is purely because of the demon Semjaza?
If this is true, should we even be using this kind of thing?
Why would God be against mankind learning about such a thing that could be so helpful to people and their lives?
Whether they were fallen or not, these angels/fallen angels, would still have the knowledge they did when they were in heaven, and we know that angels have much greater knowledge than man, so its not much of a stretch to think they may try to teach some of this knowledge to man, even if it was an attempt to thwart God.God is the source of truth, so I don’t know how the fallen angel, who has completed separated themselves from God, can teach anything but falsehood.
Who is Semjaza and why should we accept anything attributed to them as true? I don’t think it is true, so your question about pharmacology is meaningless.
God is not against learning. If He was, He would not have given us an intellect and free will.
yeah i get instinctively, it’s explaning it that’s difficult. the basic argument is, that God decides when to grant life or take it. in their view, any interference by us is going against God’s will. that’s what i’m having trouble differentiatingMany men and women of science and medicine are also Christians. God has given some people the special talents to discover how to treat illnesses and disease, and they have used those talents for the good of mankind.
There is no contradiction in taking antibiotics to get rid of pneumonia or having surgery for a burst appendix, if you are a Christian. God is working within the minds and hands of the scientists as they strive to find cures for things which would have been killers even in the recent past.
Abortion and euthanasia are not things which restore us to health, they cure nothing and are procedures with one purpose - to end life. It is not the same as being ill or injured and being able to praise God for the skill of your doctors and nurses, who are playing their part to return you to a state of health and well-being.
if his will is not to kill, why is there sitll death in the world?I think they have oversimplified and perhaps misunderstood the prolife movement. It is not simply that something is going against God’s will. We recognize the dignity and sacred status of life. To end that life because it is inconvenient for us is going against God’s will, yes, but it is much more than that. When we allow abortion or euthanasia we are rejecting these fundamental beliefs about the human person - treating them as mere machines, albeit biological. It is putting a value on human life, which we believe to be invaluable. Saving a person does not devalue them in this way. Moreover, we know that God’s will is not to kill, as Christ healed the man whose ear had been cut off by Peter, or when Christ wept at the news of Lazarus’ passing, before raising him from the dead. It is possible that God may in fact be calling someone home to Him, but we cannot say with full certainty if or when this is ever the case. Therefore, to refuse medical treatment on these grounds is at best questionable and at worst a grave violation of both a doctor’s oath and our duty as Christians.
