is olive oil from mount siani going to be covered by our taxes for all the churches who use for those who are sick? i really don;t understand what they are trying to do. the annointing of oil is a profound thing and i believe that it should come into play when the doctors with god-given talents can no longer do anything. i don't think that if you pray for your broken leg to heal itself, it's going to heal itself. people need doctors. God put doctors on earth. they should be used. people who don't think it's biblical to visit doctors because God is the healer, need to really stop having blind faith. this is very hard for me to put into words, but i tried. and now i digress. the christian scientists want to get paid for praying their health problems away. it doesn't make me mad, it just upsets me to the point of tears that people do this. if i'm on the verge of death, i want my pastor to come and pray for me, but he would never charge me. i don't even think the thought would cross his mind. he's been to so many people's homes and paid so many hospital visits that he can't keep count. and he is doing to for God, not for tax deductions.
The Internal Revenue Service, for example, allows the cost of Christian Science prayer sessions to be counted among itemized medical expenses for income tax purposes one of the only religious treatments explicitly identified as deductible by the IRS.
