7/8/2013 Health, Wealth & HappinessHealth, Wealth & Happiness It is an oxymoron to say " I believe in the prosperity gospel / word of faith and I practice evidence based medicine". Many of us have spent much time in studying medicine and so little in the word of God. Faith and science end up residing in separate compartments of our brain or in better words, most of us run faith and medicine on different logic processes. The theology of prosperity gospel / word of faith is very much the opposite of evidence based medicine and traditional bible values, yet many medical practitioners are able to reconcile and practice both albeit the awkwardness and contradictions. I have done research on the ideas behind the prosperity gospel / word of faith. I compared these ideas with bible concepts of medicine and scientific evidence on such claims and present them in my article " Health, Wealth & Happiness" Let us not fail ourselves and our patients.
