We believe in miracles because we believe in the Bible. Therefore, we will seek to look at the biblical account, without restricting God's power to the measure of our understanding. The Old Testament word for 'healing' is used in numerous ways, a few of which are listed below. Healing is a transformation of everything out of sorts with God. It must not be confined to one particular area.
Health is also physical and means strength and long-life.
Thus, God does not view 'the sick soul in a healthy body' as a desirable condition. Biblical doctrine finds its ultimate expression in living. It is nothing if it is simply cerebral. Our bodies themselves have certain limited self-healing qualities. Many scientists and clinicians have written of medicine simply supporting us until our immune systems are capable of overcoming pathogens.
