• Famous temple of Asclepius was at Epidaurus in north-
eastern Peloponnese. Another famous healing temple (or
asclepieion) was located on the island of Kos, where
Hippocrates, the "father of medicine", may have begun his
career. Other asclepieia were situated in Trikala, Gortys (in
Arcadia), and Pergamum in Asia.
• HIPPOCRATIC OATH comes from this man’s name—
supposed father of medicine
• The ORIGINAL HIPPOCRATIC OATH began with invocation
"I swear by Apollo the Physician and by Asclepius and by
Hygieia and Panacea and by all the gods ..."

roots—so the best cure for them is spiritual—where
demons exist

Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength
and ability and power; how He went about doing good
and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and
oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with
Him

the devil. Who is the devil?

the devil

humanity

accepting of illness as their fate
• E.g. Asthma, Aids, Cancer, Anxiety, Lunacy, Epilepsy,
Alzheimer, etc. have medical explanations but have
spiritual roots in the power of the devil

24. • 2000 years ago, it was believed that ALL
diseases were from the devil and the primary
healers were priests
• Today we explain diseases away because
medicine teaches us how our bodies work &
the primary healers are doctors—not priests
• Did GOD stop healing or change his Word?
26-Apr-16LRF 3RD DAY OF WEEK TRAINING SEMINAR 24

25. • GOD is the same yesterday, today and forever.
He never changed. Humanity did esp. in the
way we view illness, its source(s) and its healing!
• Modern medical medicine should be
appreciated BUT not more than the Bread of Life
which in the Kingdom of GOD is given for our
Healing

“witchcraft”, because almost no one but witches
and sorcerers used drugs for curing in those days

spirits
