Default What Use is Leprosy? - 11-16-2022, 08:35 PM

A question I am often asked is "Why does God give us diseases?" The usual reply is in line with John:9:3 Jesus answered,Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. In other words, God does things to show that He can do them.

We know, for instance that God cures people of leprosy: 2Ki:5:3 the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.
and
M't:8:2: And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him,saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
M't:8:3: And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him,saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Then I hear, "What is the point of leprosy?"fortunately, God has revealed the answer unto mankind:
Quote:
Leprosy is one of the world's oldest and most persistent diseases but the bacteria that cause it may also have the surprising ability to grow and regenerate a vital organ.Scientists have discovered that parasites associated with leprosy can reprogram cells to increase the size of a liver in adult animals without causing damage,scarring or tumors.

Edinburgh researchers built on their previous discovery of the partial cellular reprogramming ability of the leprosy-causing bacteria, Mycobacterium leprae.

Working with the US Department of Health and Human Services in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the team infected 57 armadillos -- a natural host of leprosy bacteria -- with the parasite and compared their livers with those of uninfected armadillos and those that were found to be resistant to infection.

They found that the infected animals developed enlarged --yet healthy and unharmed -- livers with the same vital components, such as blood vessels, bile ducts and functional units known as lobules, as the uninfected and resistant armadillos.
Science Daily

God gave us leprosy so that we could cure people with bad livers. It took us a few thousand years to work out God's Bounty, but that is a mere twinkling of the eye in God's terms.

Now bearing, in mind that God told Moses how to deal with leprosy (Lev 13 & 14) you may ask why God didn't tell Moses about the partial cellular reprogramming ability of the leprosy-causing bacteria. My answer would be "Who's to say that He didn't, but then Moses forgot?"

I asked the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, England, fora comment from a Christian perspective but there was no one available. In the meantime, a spokesman for the American Society of the Welfare of Armadillos,said that it was encouraging news and that his members were glad to help God in any way.





“We must reassert that the essence of Christianity is the love of obedience to God’s Laws and that how that complete obedience is used or implemented does not concern us.”

Pastor Bathfire, Sir, one of my boys wonders if the question here should have been "What use are armadillos?" Because the answer to that might well be "To teach us, His Chosen Species, the cure for leprosy."

More likely there was no one sober enough to read your message! They'll all be too busy destroying their livers, prior to experimenting on armadillos.

Do you think that they plan to steal the armadilloses' livers?

I wouldn't put it past a Scotsman to try and find a cheap method of enhancing their ability to over indulge in alcohol. Russians, at least, have the decency to drug and steal the livers of humans. And since most of their victims, I mean donors, are the unsavory sort who can easily be lured to sketchy motel-rooms, one could even muse that those Russians are doing The Lord's work of taking vital resources from the unworthy and getting them to those with the means to pay for them.

It's really like the parable of the talents, isn't it? Some people hide the wealth* that God entrusted them with, while others work hard and apply their abilities to turn a profit from those not putting their resources to good use.






* I don't know where in the body people hide their livers. You would have to ask a doctor--or a Russian.

Glory! The Lord God gave people bad livers so he could give other people leprosy and then thousands of years later someone would discover how to use leprosy to cure the bad livers! Doubtless the next discovery will be using good livers to cure leprosy. Truly God is magnificent. God likes to disease and deform children as an arbitrary display of power (John 9:2-3). Now everyone will see His power through leprosy and bad livers and His mercy in curing them. Far more powerful and merciful than if leprosy and bad livers had never existed before! No one can look at a leper or a papist without fearing the Lord.

Oh dear. I've just realised that I've been confusing armadilli with anteaters. How very embarrassing.

And even if they were good luck understanding whatever came out of their mouths. They have been forever disobedient to their English monarchs and even though they claim to speak "English" I think they are actually speaking something else as a form of mockery.


Unsaved, but trying.
