Anyways I am all clear and wanted to share some information on Divine healing. I am not pushing it on anyone, but wanted to share what has helped me. Joseph Prince is a good person that talks about it. Kenneth E Hagin was on his death bed. Doctors told him he had months to live and he started confessing healing scriptures he lived 70 more years
Another good book is "Healed by cancer" By Dottie Olsteen. Great insight! She was told she had weeks to live finding 4 liver tumors back in 1981. She is alive to this day!
Like I said, I am not pushing this on anyone,but If anyone wants anymore information on it let me know!
As a newbie & first poster, I'm sure you didn't realize this might cause an uproar...exactly why I suggested that expressing one's beliefs maybe wasn't the way to go until one gets a "feel" for any given forum. We don't always think things through on how we may come across to others. Though I share Jaynee's beliefs, I will just say that the original post could be taken as a bit sanctimonious. That's how it came across to me anyhow. I'm about twice your age & have had my mother, husband, stepson...all w/colon cancer & another stepson w/Lynch Syndrome. DH died @ 51, DSS died @ age 35 of cancer. Heart disease took my father, brother, brother-in-law...all under 50. Another brother died @ 62 of a heart attack after collecting his first Social Security Retirement check. Heart disease took my mother at age 96. I'm still around, though can't think of a good reason for it considering my family history. So are two other brothers & two other sisters. Does this suggest that our beliefs were better than the rest of my family or that my mother was the most devout? She probably was, but I don't think that mattered. The last 10 years of her life I took care of her here in my home, along w/my DH & she had dementia from a stroke. That's about as cruel as it gets as far as robbing you of your speech, mental capacity, life's memories & meaningful functionality.
You don't articulate how "IT" helped you, but certainly am glad you have achieved NED @ a Stage 3 dx. However, there are many Stage IV patients here who are enduring great pain & suffering, endless procedures, the wrath of cancer/chemo, searching for answers to survive & become NED. Then there are those of us that are mourning recent losses. Your post could be read as suggesting if people believed enough, prayed enough, etc., learned about Divine Healing through those books as you have, that they too, could enjoy the possibility of NED such as yourself or an extended life as the authors you mention. If the books will help prevent my DSS w/Lynch Syndrome from getting cancer or dying of cancer @ a young age like his brother, or my 7 year old grandson, I'll definitely get them, but life eternal does not exist on this earth. We don't get to pick & choose the when & how.
I just don't really understand your point.

I think there should be room for it.
In about 3 weeks, I will have been a member of CT for one year, @ which time I won't consider myself a "newbie" anymore, though that didn't really deter me too much from jumping in w/all fours a few times (after awhile).
There is room for it, but not a lot & the manner in which one believes or doesn't believe can bring differing opinions & extreme controversy @ times...doesn't usually end very well from what I've seen or appear to have
helped anyone. People here are looking for science-based answers to a cure. How one believes in God or the power of prayer or any snake-oil alternatives doesn't bode very well here in my observations.
Best Wishes
