faith in God has healing powers? true of false?

8:5-13 This centurion was a heathen, a Roman soldier. Though he was a soldier, yet he was a godly man. No man's calling or place will be an excuse for unbelief and sin. See how he states his servant's case. We should concern ourselves for the souls of our children and servants, who are spiritually sick, who feel not spiritual evils, who know not that which is spiritually good; and we should bring them to Christ by faith and prayers. Observe his self-abasement. Humble souls are made more humble by Christ's gracious dealings with them. Observe his great faith. The more diffident we are of ourselves, the stronger will be our confidence in Christ. Herein the centurion owns him to have Divine power, and a full command of all the creatures and powers of nature, as a master over his servants. Such servants we all should be to God; we must go and come, according to the directions of his word and the disposals of his providence. But when the Son of man comes he finds little faith, therefore he finds little fruit. An outward profession may cause us to be called children of the kingdom; but if we rest in that, and have nothing else to show, we shall be cast out. The servant got a cure of his disease, and the master got the approval of his faith. What was said to him, is said to all, Believe, and ye shall receive; only believe. See the power of Christ, and the power of faith. The healing of our souls is at once the effect and evidence of our interest in the blood of Christ. Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, "Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well." At once the woman was made well. Matthew 9:29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, "It shall be done to you according to your faith."

1. Actually, prayer has been shown to make sick people worse. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2002901053_pray31.html
2. very true
3. False.
4. If by "heal people" you mean make them ignorant and stupid, then yes.
5. As a Christian, I find the books that those of you who think you're Christians write here very annoying not to mention embarrassing. This site is for questions, not rants, so be a respectful Christian and stop abusing your privilage here; misusing and abusing this site does not glorify Christ and is disrespectful of the true church. Edit: Anyone who thinks I don't know what I'm talking about when I say that "jake" is not a Christian, check out his questions and answers! He is a pervert. For example, he asked "Is it commom for a woman to climax during oral sex? i was wondering does most woman love oral sex, if you do explain why this turn you on. is it possiable for a woman to climax during oral sex being performed by someone who know his stuff." How about this one? "Describe your rear extremities? compare it to other women's"? being able to pick from a large number of different sizes and makes it hard for a man to decide what form or size he would like to have."
6. true gods the answer to every thing
7. I only read your question and didn't bother reading the rest. My opinion is if someone truly believes in their God, and they pray to them then I would agree that a lot of people get healed. I don't think it's the case with every person.
8. What has faith in the word of God done for your
9. Actually, it can. A person with any basis for optimism is going to have a statistically better chance of weathering an affliction or surviving a dangerous disease. While a deep faith alone does not mean a person will benefit in any way from it, there are some cases where the patient's attitude and morale are relevant to recovery. Personally, I think having Playboy bunnies give me a massage every day would be more therapeutic than faith in God. But that's just me. Edit: Godsuncledave, I think, is referring to tests involving prayer, where the patient did not know about the prayer.
10. of course its true! many people have been cured of there ill's by Gods hand. cancer's cured, site regained. Jesus genuinely does work miracles!
11. Many people will give you answers that are based upon personal experience and will believe this to be true. These anecdotal stories are valid and helpful but to get a really good picture of the whether or not this is real it takes not only stories from a few people but many years of studies and testing on large groups of people. It's really hard to say whether the stories people tell are coincidence(as in they would have gotten better anyways) or exaggerations. This has been done and based upon most findings, while positive attitude and calmness can have an effect on healing, faith healing has not shown to have a significant effect. I could go on and on about the details but check out the link for more info. A good hour of searching on the net will tell you all you need to know.
12. his divine power has given us everthing we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in this world caused by evil desires. read 2 pet1:3,4
13. True
