Affordable Care

Several years ago, when I stepped out of my own personal consumerism of mainstream medicine, it was not a decision I made lightly.  I've mentioned it before that perhaps if I had a disease for which there was a cure, it may have been a more difficult decision, but I feel I stepped out in faith.  As a religious based culture, there is a myriad of perspectives as to what G-d uses, allows, ordained, and what He doesn't.  Most fundamental Bible believers do not believe G-d used evolution to create the world.  And I concur.

All three Abrahamic religions believe there was a world wide flood due to the wickedness of humanity, and the Messiah said, the end of days would be as in the days of Noah.  The world around is looking pretty tumultuous and Hollywood has even made a movie entitled "Noah."

Bible believers all have an idea of what we think is evil or wicked, but do we really understand what pleases and displeases our Heavenly Father?  On some things I'm sure we do, on others, we prefer our doctrinal interpretation.  Just when I thought I had it figured out to be pleasing before my Heavenly Father, follow Messiah, and accept the social appreciation of modern medicine, I discovered this disconcerting passage.
And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to YHWH, but to the physicians.  And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.  II Chronicles 16:12-13

Paul didn't speak well of the wisdom of man, he called it foolishness.  The first couple of chapters of both I and II Corinthians addresses earthly wisdom and human in comparison to what G-d has to say.

 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of G-d.  
                                                                                                          I Corinthians 2:5

I realize this is a very controversial question, but so many see this present administration as pure evil, so is it Obamacare that is evil or is it time to consider what we say we actually believe?

For those who are unsure, here is a link to what is reported to be an acceptable alternative.

Is faith in our Creator in combination with the wisdom of man, mixing holy with profane?

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 53:5

Potential Terrorist?

I'm not sure I agree with everything in the article, but it does address many concerns I've had and voiced, as well as heard from others; so rather than give a point by point opinion of the article, I'm simply going to offer the link.

We're not telling you what to think or how to think,just, presenting information we think is worth thinking about!
