Er. So that'll be 'nowhere' then.

The answer is 'It was all made up.

But we don't know by whom and we
don't know when'. ??

Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD
(nospam4@heartmdphd.com) made the light shine upon us with this:

According to xians, the "gift of free will" disappear in "heaven" for
all eternity.

It won't.

Proof: The fall of satan and a third of the angels from heaven.

Oh, good. Then it should work in hell, too. Which means I have the
ability to choose to kill myself if I don't like it there.

As if inmates in a prison are given sharp objects and/or hanging rope
to kill themselves.

Why do we need cardiologists, Andrew, if
- your God[TM] heals all (Psalms103:2-3),
- followers of Christ[TM] can heal (Matthew10:1, Matthew10:8)
- sickness and illness are functions of sin (John5:14)
- we can reincarnate the dead by touching the corpse with the bones of
Elisha (2Kings13:21)

Of course we could just try to touch Peters shadow (Acts5:15-16).
Shame he is dead, eh?

Which methodology do you employ in your practice?

Prayer and the laying on of hands.

Once the Holy Spirit led me to heal a toddler whose hand was crushed
when the full weight of an adult brought the end of a chair leg onto
the back of her hand as she was crawling under a table. Placing the
crying child's crushed hand with the deep indention of the chair leg
end between my palms and praying in Christ Jesus' name, I felt GOD's
power as the bones were mended and the flesh was healed of the crush
injury. The mother was amazed as I returned her daughter no longer
crying and with a hand that no longer showed any evidence of being
crushed.

Whenever I lay on hands to examine patients as a cardiologist, I pray
in Christ Jesus's name for HIS healing my patient through me. GOD has
yet to disappoint me. HE is amazing. Laus Deo !
