HEART AND DEATH BETWEEN MEDICINE SCIENCE AND RELIGION

Diseases of any kind appear due own sins or within the divine pedagogy, for our testing, and by healing we can show the glory of God. Science of treat is from God, but the gift of healing is ontological. Patients do not heal by the power of the therapist, the doctor, but also because of the gift and power of God. Diseases inevitably sometimes lead to death but are not frightening the Christian because he believes in the afterlife. For a true Christian there is not nothingness, death is only a transition, body leaving is just only a higher level in the spiritual life. It is the duty not only of the priest but also of the doctor to prepare the patients for this purpose.
