Psalm 91:1

[mrssoprano]

Here, the Bible speaks of the "secret place of the most high".  What is this refering to?  Is this verse speaking of salvation and how the Lord protects His own?  Later on it says, "...neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling...".  If it is refering to after a person is saved then why do we still have people who are dying of things such as cancer?

[Nathan England]

My opinion of this is that there are two issues at hand, spiritual protection and physical protection. Salvation doesn't promise to give us a new physical body, only a spiritual new life.

So you may not have had cancer before hand, or you may have, but the renewing of the spirit or the acceptance of Jesus Christ will not cleanse your physical malidy. That doesn't mean God can't, that would be stupid, or course he can, God can work any miracle he wants to. But we still have to pay for the things we do in this life to our bodies. But God promises to protect his own.

So what did you do to deserve cancer? Who knows, maybe it's all that soy you've been eating for years. Maybe it's extreme intake of sugar. I can't say a bad diet, because a 'healthy' diet today is still filled with preservatives and chemicals.

Maybe it's time we begin using only organic foods. Nah, I can't afford them! Wait, maybe that's the point... Is satan poisoning our foods and making organics expensive so we can't afford to eat the way God told us to...?
