nonetheless common, for many individuals to consider their own
particular approach to physical health and healing as the best or the
most spiritual.
True
150] True or False: While everyone

is a medical or nutritional expert.
False
153] True or False: The minister must be
truly neutral on medical matters.
True
154] True or False: One of
the minister's more important duties is to be
sure that members of his church are not judging each other and are not
comparing themselves among themselves with respect to health procedures
and healing.

miraculous intervention by the creator of the universe in our lives; it

sins, cleanse our minds and, ultimately, establish the Kingdom of God on
earth and resurrect our bodies from the dead.
