Wrong! The correct answer is: Ask the church elders to apply oil to your skin and pray for you.
Verses like these have resulted in the needless deaths of adults and criminal-neglect deaths of children from treatable illnesses that were left untreated because of prayer. Why couldn't the biblical deity have dispensed some useful medical advice to the human race instead of placebo prescriptions for prayer?
"Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up." (James 5:14-15)
Seek medical help from doctors ordained by God. Wrong answer.
Ask Jesus or the elders to exorcise the evil spirits from your body. Wrong answer.
Kneel down before a brass serpent wrapped around a pole. Wrong answer. The Old Testament contains this absurd alternative medicine remedy for snake bite: "And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived." (Numbers 21:9)
