Can prayer help against Down Syndrome or is it a permanent punishment by God?

Is it an abomination upon God to keep a Down Syndrome baby alive through secular science instead of prayer?

While my personal opinion is in a Downs child is just a sinner pre-smited by Jesus for the evil the child we do I would say, yes prayer can cure Down Syndrome. I think the real issue with Downs children is why does everyone obsesses over the child with all it just earned problems and never over the real victim here; God. I am sure God doesn't want to torture children but sinners force him to anyway.

Yes, there is no limit to what prayer can achieve: Luke 18:27 "And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

I think a down syndrome baby is punishment for something and we should not try to cheat out of that punishment. I almost never visit a doctor for the same reason.

Ha! I suspect none of you were around just before the end of the war when Obadiah Baden found a mongol boy in his barn. Old Obadiah took pity on him and his funny way of talking. He also prayed and prayed for that boy’s recovery.

Three years later, the INS called round and took the 'mongol' away, just as he was becoming used to reading KJV every day. Turned out the boy was relatively normal, he’d just wandered out of the nearby Japanese internment camp.


We never let Obadiah forget that one

I've never personally seen a retarded become normal, but they do seem to learn some simple skills over time.

I'd say let God's word and actions be final for whatever reason they where implemented, but who knows?

I didn't know that Downs Syndrome children needed specialty medical care. Brother Eldrich is right though, before I was married I worked as a secretary and we had these people doing the mail delivery through the building. Face it an average or above person would absolutely hate that job, but they did it very well. They also spent the off time shredding documents, they're excellent for that because they can't read the said documents and are very loyal to people who show them kindness.

I'm sure Brother James Hutchins has special expertise in these matters.

He employs many people with special needs such as messicans who lose their way after crossing the border in their quest for a better life.

I'm told his training program has been quite successful in adjusting people to a better life.

For example, deaf-dumb-mutes can still be taught to identify plant aphids and squash those little suckers.

There is no reason to believe he can't take one of these retarded door-stops and help them along their way to all the joys of a fulfilled life in the agri-business industry.

Jesus can cure anything, but why would he cure Down Syndrome?
