Post #452: Christian believers are supposed to be able to anoint the sick with magic oil, lay their hands on them, and pray and the sick person will be healed. James 3:14-15. It seems that with all of the billions of past and present Christians that they could have cured every sick person in the world and that doctors would be unnecessary. I'll bet that the writers has a belly laugh when they put that little gem in.
Wrong interpretation....first it says those who are sick are to call for the elders of the church, that doesn't include everything. It then goes on that the PRAYERS of the Sick will SAVE, doesn't say CURE. This mostly has to do with spiritual issues then physical.
